« Free Turkey | Main | Missing » An Apple a Day keeps the Coppers Away Whilst doing his rounds this very day around 6 in the evening, constable Jones noticed an urchin staring intently at one of the street lamps. Wondering what the little tyke was up to Jones briskly walked over and asked: "What's with the staring lad, want to ruin your eyesight?". As if the little boy had not heard the officer he kept staring at the light completely mesmerized. "Now you hear me young fellow!". Jones now getting a bit agitated at this strange behaviour turned on the authoratative voice. "This is no times for tricks, it is getting late and you need to go home", shouting at this point. Jones's face slowly started to turn bright red and matched the color of the apple that was pilfered behind his back by another urchin who had previously been leaning against an apple cart. Only the shouting of the apple-seller made Jones turn around and pay attention to the running urchin who took off with an apple. When Jones turned back there was no sign of the young lad who was staring at the lamp post. |
