“O Bobby! O Betty!” cried Mother. “I am so glad to see you.”
Mother thanked the policeman for bringing the children home.
“You are very welcome,” said the policeman.
“Did you thank the policeman?” asked Mother.
“Thank you, thank you,” said Bobby and Betty.
“I hope we shall find you again,” said Bobby.
“I am glad you are everybody’s big brother,” said Betty.
“Thank you,” said the policeman. “But remember, your big brother thinks you had better play nearer home.”
