After undoing all of the locks,
inside she found
Less than a pound,

When young Penny opened the box,
After undoing all of the locks,
inside she found
Less than a pound,
Wrapped up in a pair of old socks.
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)

Brilliant ending! :lol:

Another starter:

When Fatty jumped off a high wall,
'Go down to the side-shows by the river this afternoon. I'll meet you somewhere in disguise. Bet you won't know me!' wrote Fatty.

When Fatty jumped off a high wall,
He jumped high and caught Bets red ball
Julian gave an exclamation and nudged George.
"See that? It's the black Bentley again. KMF 102!"

What a pity he then had to fall.

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Here's a new one:

The Aussie player ran after the ball,

Though he wasn't terribly tall,
He tripped and fell,
But saved by the bell,
And went off with a limp and a crawl!
