While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, 
a policeman was interrupted by a little girl about six years 
old. Looking up and down at his uniform, she asked, "Are you  a cop?" 

"Yes," he answered, and continued writing the report. 

"My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. 
Is that right?" 

"Yes, that's right," he said. 

"Well, then," she said as she extended her foot toward him, 
"would you please tie my shoe?"
