Mr. Clever

Mr. Clever is orange and wears glasses.

STORY: Mr. Clever lives in Cleverland where everyone is a clever as can be. His house is a very clever house. One morning after breakfast, he goes for a long walk and meets Mr. Happy, who says he can tell him a joke because jokes make him laugh. Mr. Clever doesn't know any jokes. He continues his walk and meets Mr. Greedy who says he can tell him the most delicious dish. Mr. Clever can't cook and doesn't know any recipes. Then he meets Mr. Forgetful who says he can tell him what his name is.. He's forgotten. Mr. Clever doesn't know his name. It goes on all day. Mr. Clever can't tell Mr. Sneeze what the cure for a cold is, Mr. Small how to grow bigger, Mr. Jelly what the secret of being brave is, and Mr. Topsy-Turvy how to speak the round way right (I mean, the right way round). Mr. Clever doesn't feel clever and is going home. The book ends with two worms talking about him.
