Five Little Peppers and their Friends

The story revolves around Phronsie, a young girl who encounters another girl outside her grandfather's garden. Despite Phronsie's invitation to come inside, the girl is unable to do so due to a "cop" preventing her. This interaction highlights themes of innocence and curiosity, as Phronsie tries to understand the situation while the other girl remains mysterious and distant. The contrast between Phronsie's safe, sheltered world and the other girl's restricted freedom adds depth to their brief exchange.
