Jenny was sitting by the riverside while her goats grazed on the grass. Suddenly, she saw two men running towards the road with gunny bags. “Run faster, the police is around,” she heard one of them say. One of the men slipped and fell down and his gunny bag opened. A glass-topped box came sliding out. Jenny was shocked to see that there were butterflies in the box. The man quickly picked up the box and rushed to a car standing near by. His friend was waiting inside. ‘Oh! These must be Mr Ray’s butterflies. They were stolen yesterday,’ thought Jenny. She called all her goats and very soon, the road was filled with the herd of goats making it impossible for the car to move. Soon, the police arrived and arrested the thieves from the car. “The tinkle of your goats’ bells signalled to us that something was wrong,” said the police inspector to Jenny and he thanked her.
