“Once upon a time a man named Jack Hooley...”
Once upon a time a man named Jack Hooley stole ten shillings. The Guards were looking for Jack for a long time. They did not know Jack. The Guards were one day looking for Jack. They met Jack on the road at the time they saw a tramp dead. "Who is that"? said the Guards.
"That's Jack Hooley He died the other day".
The Guards thought Jack was dead. So Jack was never caught.
