The policeman came up to Soapy, "Who did that?" he asked.

警察走到索比面前問道：“誰幹的?”

"Perhaps I did," Soapy replied.

“也許是我。”索比回答說。

But the policeman knew that people who break windows do not stop to talk to policemen. They run away. And just then the policeman saw another man, who was running to catch a bus. So the policeman ran after him. Soapy watched for a minute. Then he walked away. No luck again! He began to feel cross.

但是警察知道，砸了玻璃的人是不會等在那兒跟警察說話的。他們早跑了。就在這時，警察看到另一個人正跑著，想趕上一輛公共汽車。於是，警察就去追那個人了。索比看了一會兒，然後走開了。又不走運!他開始有點惱怒了。
