His hardest magic trick was to ride a unicycle and to a magic card trick. And then when the performance is all over he usually goes and drives backup to the mountain and as a rest and then he has dinner.

When he has dinner we eats the plants that grow next to his house like Golden currant, Mountain sorrel, and pine needles and it's really quiet where he lives so smiley puts on some music when he’s eating dinner. And sometimes when he was nothing to do he goes hiking to a find a peak were he can stand on and fell the fresh air going past his face. Sometimes smiley can be clumsy and also really funny sometimes.

And one time when smiley was a kid he had a balloon it was his favorite color witch was blue once he saw a group of kids playing together and smiley went over to them and he wanted to show his balloon to everyone. And when he did two twin brothers were jealous of his balloon and then when all the kids left the two twin brothers went up to smiley and stole the balloon and after that the twins found a good hiding spot where they could play with the balloon but when they saw smiley they both hid it in a tree and then it started to get dark and smiley scared them of and finally smiley could find his balloon and after when smiley found it he started to live on that mountain and that's how smiley wanted to live on a mountain.
