The Clown Statue | 小丑雕像

English Original

A few years ago, a couple decided to have a night out and called their most trusted babysitter. When she arrived, the two children were already fast asleep.

Later that night, bored, the babysitter wanted to watch TV. Since there was no cable downstairs (the parents limited the children's viewing), she called to ask if she could watch in the parents' bedroom. They agreed.

However, the babysitter had one final request: "Could I cover the clown statue in your room with a blanket? It makes me nervous."

After a moment of silence, the father replied urgently, "Take the children and get out of the house! We'll call the police... We don't have a clown statue."

Tragically, the children and the babysitter were murdered by the clown. It turned out the "statue" was actually an escaped killer disguised as a clown.


中文翻译

几年前,一对夫妇决定外出过夜,于是打电话请来了他们最信任的保姆。保姆到达时,两个孩子早已在床上熟睡。

深夜,保姆感到无聊,想看电视。由于楼下没有有线电视(父母限制孩子看电视),她便打电话询问是否可以在主卧看电视。夫妇同意了。

然而,保姆提出了最后一个请求:“我可以用毯子盖住你们房间的小丑雕像吗?它让我很不安。”

电话那头沉默了片刻,父亲急切地回答道:“带上孩子们,马上离开房子!我们会报警……我们根本没有小丑雕像。”

不幸的是,孩子和保姆最终被那个小丑杀害了。原来,那个“雕像”竟是一个伪装成小丑的越狱杀手。
