One day there was a dark place in an alley way. In the alley way there was a hooded person that liked Mexican style music. No one knew who he was and no one ever saw his skin. But that changed after one day a little girl came and asked him if he could teach her guitar but she couldn’t find him but only his coat. So she started to look for him and saw a skeleton tuning guitar so she backed away and ran home and told her parents and they called the police to capture him.
The skeleton saw the police lights and starts to run and crashes into the girl again and says in a quick voice my name is Zoombo and the police are coming and I will give you some lollies if you hold them off. The little girl agrees with him and holds off the police and Zoombo is free.
