- Once upon a time there was a man and he had a son who wished to be a burglar. At last he set out and he had not gone far when he met a man who wanted a boy to help him rob. The boy was willing and learned to be a burglar. One night he heard of a house where there was a lot of money but he was not told the name of it. He went to rob it and as it was a dark night he found out it was his fathers house he was robbing.
