Bobby and Betty with the workers

MOTHER TALKS WITH BOBBY AND BETTY

“Tell me all about it,” said Mother.

Bobby and Betty told Mother they followed the organ-grinder. They told her they skipped and danced to the music the organ man played.

They told her they started home when the organ man stopped playing.

They told her the big policeman came and asked them where they were going.

“Were you afraid of the policeman?” asked Mother.

“I was at first,” said Betty. “But, Mother, he is a big brother. I’m not afraid of him now.”

“This policeman is a kind man,” said Mother. “I wish all policemen were like him.”
