call the police and send him to the prison.
4. Why was Soapy not arrested for stealing the umbrella?
As he picked the silk umbrella, a man came for it. Soapy asked him to call the police. The man
apologized and said he had found the umbrella the same morning and if it was Soapy’s, it ought to be
with him. The umbrella man hurried away.
5. Why was Soapy finally arrested?
Soapy was arrested for hanging around a neighbourhood in a suspicious manner. He argued with the
policeman who questioned him about being there.

This is called irony. Can you point out a few other ironical moments in the story?
Throughout the story Soapy kept trying to get himself arrested and sent to prison for three months so
