There was a girl named Alexis who lived with her grandmother in California. When Alexis was a little girl she used to go to the carnival where she met a clown named Davis. Alexis liked Davis because he would create the cutest balloons for her. Davis asked Alexis to wait a second while he ran to his car to grab a gift for her. It was a little black notebook. He said, "Whatever you do. Do not open this until you turn 18." Alexis smiled and gave

Davis a big hug and left with her grandmother.As time went by Alexis got older. When she turned 16 her grandmother was getting very ill. So she eventually had to put her grandmother in a nursing home. It was the toughest decision she ever had to make as a teenager.

Alexis's grandmother passed away when she turned 18. Alexis was so sad about losing her grandmother. Nothing was left to Alexis. No house,no car,no money. Nothing.

Alexis eventually found a job at a diner while trying to finish her Senior year in High School. One day she was going through her childhood belongings and she came across the little black notebook Davis the clown gave to her as a child. She opened the book and she couldn't believe her eyes. There was a $200,000.00 check written out to Alexis.

When she flipped to the back of the book she found a shocking letter from Davis. Stating that he was her uncle. He was her only living relative after her grandmothers passing. She was so shocked and happy at the same time. Alexis decided to go searching for her uncle Davis the Clown. She went back to the old carnival she used to go to as a child and found out that it was permanently closed. One of the old audience members named Mark saw Alexis looking around the area and asked her if she was ok. She said "I am looking for my uncle Davis". Have you seen him. Mark replied" no sweet heart I haven't seen him in over 10 years now. But I do have an address where you find him." Alexis was so excited to find her uncle. Alexis drove to the address given to her and when she got there. She could see over 10 cars in the drive way. A huge mansion,with a large water fall in the front. Alexis thought she had the wrong address. She got out of her car and went up to the house as rung the door bell. A random lady opened the door and asked who is it. Alexis replied I am looking for my uncle Davis The Clown. The lady replied omg Davis has been looking for you. Alexis entered the home and reunited with her uncle. She eventually found out he was a multi millionaire. He owned the Carnival. And only dressed up as clown on his free time. She also found out the reason why grandmother didn't leave her anything. Because she had left everything to her uncle.Her Grandmother's final wish

was that he would ventually pass it all down to Alexis when she got much older. Now that's a grown woman her uncle gave her another black book. This little black book had another check in there with same amount. Her grandmother was also a millionaire. Alexis had no clue her family was wealthy until now. Her family members kept it a secret for years so she could live a normal life.
