उत्तर

I am pongo, the policeman. I work as the security guard in the shipyard. One day I was on duty. I saw a boy riding a cart and coming out of the docks. His pockets were bulging. He had hidden them under his apron. As usual, I stopped him for a casual check. I found seventeen oranges hidden in his pocket.

But he was not a thief. However, he had stolen the oranges and taken them home. He kept quiet. He could speak nothing. He was very scared. He was only a teenager and crazy about oranges. So I took pity on him. I had no intention to punish him. I let him go after counseling him. It was quite obvious that he was free from fear and worry. I just went ahead on my duty with the spirit of gentleness and forgiveness.
