Find the central idea.

Being a clown isn't all fun and games. Rodeo clowns expose themselves to great danger every time they perform. When cowboys dismount or are bucked off of bulls at riding competitions, rodeo clowns jump in front of the bulls and motion wildly to get their attention. In this way rodeo clowns provide an alternate target, and in doing so protect the rider. So you see, sometimes clowning around can be serious business

Being a clown isn't all fun and games.

Rodeo clowns protect cowboys by putting themselves in danger.

Rodeos are exciting.

Clowns are good at riding bulls.
