“But please, Mr. Policeman, I didn’t know I was doing wrong,” sobbed Dorothy.
“Neither did I,” roared the policeman.
“But I never was arrested before,” cried Dorothy.
“That isn’t my fault,” said the policeman.
Just then Little Bo-Peep came along with all her sheep.
“Why, what is the trouble?” asked Little Bo-Peep, looking from Dorothy to the toy policeman.
“He’s going to arrest me,” answered Dorothy.
“You mustn’t do that,” cried Bo-Peep; “she’s a friend of mine.”
“But she was breaking the law,” said the policeman.
“That’s too bad,” whispered Bo-Peep, putting her arm around Dorothy’s neck.
