But the bananas were not his craze. He loved to eat oranges very much. When he came out from the docks with the oranges hidden in his pockets. Pongo, the policeman caught him. The pockets were bulging as the apron string was broken. There were seventeen oranges. A lot of people were stealing from the docks.

He advised the narrator very politely not to steal anymore. Pongo pardoned the narrator. The narrator thanked the policeman and went home happily.
