Once upon a time there lived a very very rich man. He lived in a massive mansion in the countryside with hundreds of acres of land. He was so rich he didn't need to work at all. One day, he went out for a drive in one of his many sports cars, and in the evening, when he came back home, he found his mansion had completely burnt down. He didn't know how it had happened, he looked around to see if he could see who had burnt down his mansion, but all he could see was a tiny dot on the horizon, which looked vaguely like somebody running away, but he wasn't certain. His mansion being burnt down did not trouble him so much, as he was so rich, because he simply bought another mansion straight away. This mansion was slightly smaller than his last one, but was still very large.

A few days later, the man went out for a walk in the country. To his horror, when he returned, he found his mansion had been burnt down again. 'This is no coincidence...' he thought to himself, and looked around to try and find somebody who could have started the fire. To his surprise, he saw the person running away in the distance again, but the person was too far away to catch. The man decided to buy himself another house, but he had to be careful, as his wealth had decreased considerably since having bought the mansion which had just been burnt down. He decided to buy a large country house with large gardens, and moved in straight away.

A week later, when he came back after going for a drive in the country, The man found his house had been burnt down yet again. He was getting very angry now, and again, in the far distance he could see the person running away from his house. The man tryed to chase after the person, but could not catch him as the person was too far away, and he gave up. The man was starting to get low on money now, and decided he needed to get a job to bring in some money again. He brought himself a large four bedroomed house on the edge of a small town, and moved in right away.

The next day, he went to his work, and returned home at five o'clock to find his house had been burnt down yet again. The man was devastated. He looked up and saw the person running away in the distance, and so decided to chase after him. unfortunately, the person was too far away and too fast for him, and he couldn't catch up with him. The man knew the person must have something to do with his house being burnt down all the time, and next time, if there will be a next time, the man was really going to try and catch the person. The man was starting to really run out of money now, and had to buy himself a two bedroomed semi-detached house in a city. He got another job nearby where he lived, and went to work the next day.

Things seemed to be going alright for about a week, but then suddenly, one day when he returned home from work, his house had been burnt down. The man quickly looked around for signs of the person he had seen before, and spotted him running away up the street. the man quickly ran after the person, shouting at him as he went, but the person was too fast for him, and he got away again. Things were looking very bad for the man now. He had almost no money, and was homeless once more. he looked around in estate agents, and soon found a small, grotty one bedroomed caravan for sale in a city centre. He moved in right away and had to make do with a job in a local supermarket.

He went to work the next day, and came home to find his house had burnt down. the person was this time only a short way up the street, and immediately the man took chase, shouting out to the person as he went. The man almost caught him this time, but unfortunately he escaped right at the end. The man was absolutely penniless now, and could not afford anything. He ended up sleeping overnight in someones shed.

The next day he set off to the streets to beg for money, but did not make very much. He decided to try and break into the shed again, and sleep there overnight, but in the evening when he returned there, his shed had been burnt down. The person he suspected was again, just up the road from where he was, and so he decided to rn after him. It was theclsest he had been to catching him yet - he caught hold of the end of his jacket, but the person ran off, leaving the man wih his jacket. The man was absolutely devastated. He could not believe he had once been rich enough to own a huge mansion and hundreds of acres of land. He spent the rest of the evening traipsing around the streets in the rain, scavenging from bins, untill 2 o'clock, when he went to the park and settled down underneath a bench and pulled some old newspapers over his head to shelter him from the rain,

The man woke up the following morning and set off to the high street to beg for money again. He made quite a bit of money that day, and he decided to buy himself some food, which he had not done for quite a while now and he was practically starving. Late that evening, he returned to the park again, as he wanted to sleep under the same bench again. As he approached the spot where the bench had been the night before, he froze in horror - the bench was not there anymore - it had been burnt down. This was the last straw for the man, he was absolutely furious. as quick as a flash, he glanced around to try and find the person again. He saw him. standing a littleway up the street. The man tore after the person, screaming his head off. the man chased the person all around the area, he would not give up now. The person was starting to tire a little, his pace was lessening, the man was drawing closer to him, in a few seconds he would have him...he got him! He pushed him to the ground and then held him up by the scruff of the neck. "YOU!!!" he bellowed at the top of his voice "HAVE YOU BEEN BURNING DOWN MY HOMES!!!"...and then the person said...(wait for it...wait for it )..."YES".

...you'd think the guy would have or get some form of insurance after the first or second burning down.
