 This is how the story begins 

On a dark dark hill 

There was a dark dark town.

In the dark dark town 

There was a dark dark street.

In the dark dark street 

There was a dark dark house.

In the dark dark house .

There was a dark dark     staircase . Down the dark dark staircase there was a dark dark cellar and in the dark dark cellar... there was a big skeleton a little skeleton and a dog skeleton . One night the big skeleton sat up in bed. He scratched his skull. What shall we do tonight he said. Let's take the dog for a walk said the little skeleton and frighten somebody good idea the big skeleton said.

So the big skeleton the little skeleton and the dog skeleton 

Left the dark dark cellar climbed the dark dark staircase 

And stepped out into the dark dark streets. They walked past the houses and the shops they walked past the zoo and police station they went into the park. The big skeleton scratched his skull what shall we do now he said. Let's play on the swings said the little skeleton and throw a stick for the dog and frighten somebody good idea the big skeleton said so the big skeleton the little skeleton and the dog skeleton walked round the dark dark pond past the dark dark tennis courts and up to the dark dark swings.the big skeleton and the little skeleton played on the swings they threw a stick for the dog . Suddenly something happened. The dog skeleton chased the stick tripped 

Over a park bench bumped into a tree- and ended up as a little pile of bones . Look at that the big skeleton said. He's all come to pieces. What shall we do now ? Let's put him together again the little skeleton said. So the big skeleton and the little skeleton put the dog skeleton together again. They sang a song while they did it. The tow bones connected to the foot bone ! The foot bones connected to the leg bone! The leg bones connected to the hip bone! The hip bones connected to the back bone! Then they got mixed up is that a toe bone ? The little skeleton said.were does this one go said the big skeleton. When they had finished the big skeleton said that dog looks a bit funny too me so he does said the little skeleton. We've got his tail on the wrong end and his head foow said the dog skeleton. At last the dog was properly put back together again. The big skeleton and the little skeleton sang another song. The big skeleton scratched his skull. That reminds me he said. We forgot to frighten somebody let's do it on the way home then said the little skeleton. Good idea the big skeleton said. So the big skeleton and the little skeleton and the dog skeleton left the dark dark swings went out into the dark dark town and tried to frighten somebody. The trouble was there wasn't anybody everybody was in bed. Even the policemen in the police station were in bed. Even the animals in the zoo of course the skeleton animals were awake . Gee up Nellie let's have a ride on the elephant skeleton the little skeleton said . Let's have a word with the parrot skeleton. The big skeleton scratched his skull.

Let's ... keep out of the way of the crocodile skeleton, he said. 

When they were back in the street, and when they could still not find anybody to frighten, the big skeleton said, what shall we do now ? 

The little skeleton scratched his skull.

Let's frighten each other! He said. That's better then nothing!, good idea! The big skeleton said. 

So after that the big skeleton frightened the little skeleton, the little skeleton frightened the big skeleton, the big skeleton and the little skeleton frightened  the dog skeleton, and the dog skeleton frightened them. 

They hid round corners and frightened each other.

They climbed up lamp posts and frightened each other.

They jumped out of dustbins and frightened each other all the way home.

And that is how the story ends. On a dark dark hill there was a dark dark town there was a dark dark street.

In the dark dark street there was a dark dark house.

In the dark dark house there was a dark dark staircase.

Down the dark dark staircase there was a dark dark cellar.

In the dark dark cellar some skeletons lived.
