The world is full of all types of people as the crooks, the criminals, the cowards, the lazy, the active, the morose, the comic and several other characters. In my opinion, the comic character is a pleasant one, as he bears no ill – will to anyone, but is a source of happiness and laughter to others.
Kings of old had in their courts, clownish and comic characters to make them happy in their dull moments. In English literature, there are clowns like Fester, who amused the rich and in our own Lanka there were men like André, who made all laugh by their antics.
Such a man has l seen in Colombo. He is Mr. Silva. He wears a ragged black coat, torn slacks and an old pair of shoes of different kinds. He normally stands near the crowded stations or bus halts and lectures on the evils done by some of the politicians and says that he would be the next Prime Minister of Sri Lanka. Then he says that he would catch every politician now in power by the scuff of his neck and throw them out, everything would be given free and no Army, Navy or Air Foci is needed for him to rule Sri Lanka. People ask him to what party he belongs. He says “Pus Party.”
Then boys start hooting and pelting him with banana skins and what not and he like the Christ makes a quick get away from the crowd.
