"Well, we have his brother in our back yard. If not his brother,
then one that looks precisely like him."
"Oh, I guess not," answered Billy's friend, "for there are not
two such fine looking goats in town."
"Well, I'll show you, come over and see for yourself."
So the two men went into the police station yard with Billy
lagging at their heels, laughing to himself to think how fooled
the policeman was going to be at not finding any goat there.
When they got to the yard the policeman looked everywhere, but
could find no sign of a goat, so went into the station to ask the
other policemen where the goat had gone, but none had seen him
and all thought he was still in the yard.
"Well that must be my goat, then," said the policeman.
"Not much!" answered the fireman. "You will have to bring better
proof than that before I give him up."
"Well, I don't want him anyway," said the policeman, "and you
will be glad to get rid of him yourself in a day or two for he is
the most troublesome goat you ever heard of. You should hear of
the mischief he got into at the flat we took him from.
