Auf den Griffstangen vor ihm saß der Korporal Alice-Palast, mit ihren Füßen im Raum schwingend. Als nächstes cameTrottie auf dem Korporalrad, das für ihn so klein war, dass er mit seinen Beinen wie ein Frosch verdoppelt fahren musste, was den zweiten Leutnant Honey und Sergeant Henny-Penny zum Lachen brachte, so dass sie fast von den eigenen Rädern fielen. Bevor sie anfingen, gab die Kapitänin der Band zu, dass er ein won-derful Fahrradfahrer in seinen jüngeren Tagen gewesen war, und gab ihnen Th eher

Sitting on the handle-bars in front of him was Corporal Alice-Palace, with her feet swinging in space. Next cameTrottie riding the corporals wheel, which wasso small for him that he had to ride with hislegs doubled up like a frog, which made Sec-ond Lieutenant Honey and Sergeant Henny-Penny laugh so that they nearly fell off of theirown wheels.
