Instead of marching forward, Jimmie suddenly darted across the street,

where a policeman's horse, frightened by the band, was rearing on his hind legs.

The Boy Scouts had already started, and no one on the sidewalk offered to take the poor little dog.

There was nothing for Jimmie to do but to carry the dog to his own home, which was six blocks away.

He ran all the way, made a soft bed in a box for the little animal, and then started after the parade.

Indeed he is, said the Scout Master. "'A Boy Scout is kind.' And today Jimmie was both kind and brave."
嗯，他確實很優秀。童子軍隊長說，童子軍要善良，今天吉米既善良又勇敢。
Just like George Washington when he was a boy, said Bobby.
就像喬治·華盛頓小的時候那樣。鮑比說。
Hurrah for George Washington, the best scout of all, said the boys.
萬歲，喬治·華盛頓！萬歲，最偉大的童子軍！男孩們喊道。
