It was all one to Johnny, and off he went, shouting—
‘Let every one follow this good example!’
So he left the village, and he went, and went and better went, till he came to a house on fire.
The policeman had caught a poor tramp, whom he charged with burning the house.
‘Let everyone follow this good example!’ shouted Johnny, never thinking of anything but roast goose.
‘What’s that you say, you vagabond! You incite the populace to arson and fire-raising!’ cries the policeman, who was by way of being à great lawyer.

Johnny trembled like an aspen-leaf.
