**Charlie the tax-fraud-commiting dragon**

Charlie flew around the land, burning down vaillages as dragons do

From each village he would steal large amounts of gold and stash it back in his cave to sleep on

However, he was a very very naughty dragon

You see, he LIED *\*shock\** about how much gold he stole

And was caught red handed!!!!

The HMRC was constantly on his tail

but charlie was a cunning dragon

he was always one step ahead from those dastardly govornment representitives

He hid his gold in the swamp, which was technically international terratory

 *\*to swamp\**

 “dearest fredrick frog” said charlie

“here is my latest earnings from the most recent scavange”

“you wouldnt mind doing your thing would you my boy” charlie suggested with a wink

“leave it to me charles” fredrick said as he got out a large spreadsheet

 **LATER THAT DAY BACK IN THE VILLAGES**

 here goes charlie again, flying around the countryside

oh look! another village to steal from, apparently its called milton keynes

BUT OH NO

ITS THE DARN HMRC

Charlie is in terrible terrible trouble now

The meanies over at big government threw a big big net over poor charlie, capturing him

“”You are under arrest on suspicion of tax fraud. You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.””

 **LATER THAT DAY IN CELL**

 Poor charlie is sitting in prison, with his earnings confiscated

He sighs

but, he says that he doesn’t regret a thing

meanwhile fredrick the frog escaped to eastern europe and was never found since

and the lesson for this story, dear children

dont commit tax fraud

or if you do, dont get caught like charlie!
