Monseigneur Money Spider & The Out Of Control Money Making Machine

Monseigner Money Spider one afternoon was abseiling down the bank vault, when he slipped – Gosh ! he felt a goon ! As his furry foot became ungripped, he tripped the switch … from OFF to ON ! When he ran, the button slipped – and the photocopier began. Soon, the whole bank was like a disco – it didn’t matter much if there were four bank robbers on the go ! Monseigner Money Spider narrowly missed the light switch, as he fell … so ON he switched the alarm as well ! You’d never seen a bank so well lit, as when Monseigner Money Spider’s spidery legs danced a bit ! Needless to say, he couldn’t decide where on his spidery web to sit … so, needless to say, his size 12 spidery legs and his size 14 boots didn’t fit ! Monseigner Money Spider didn’t mean to at all, but he landed on the photocopier – a great soft landing from his fall ! Monseigner Money Spider pressed the button “START” … Ooops ! three sheets of paper into the air started to depart. With the photocopying speed switched to “FAST” – a splash of ink went quickly past. Off the printer set … printing more money than even a money spider could spend in an entire year, I bet ! Until four, the photocopier printed more and more. By five, Monseigner Money Spider could hardly be seen alive ! As quick as a flash, Monseigner Money Spider tried to put the cash back – but a million pounds fell out of Monseigner Money Spider’s sack ! As on a thread, he dangled … in his pockets his stolen loose change jangled ! At six in the evening, you couldn’t see Monseigneur Money Spider anymore … underneath a pile of tenners as high as the bank vault door ! With all the cash that the out of control money – making machine printed, Monseigneur Money Spider was immeadiately minted ! The stakes were so high, he caught a fly – lucky, ‘cos he’d never be working again as a bank manager’s pet building cobwebs in the sky. The bank manager, naturally, was delighted as punch – though all the money from the bank had disappeared when he returned from lunch !
