The man wears black. They go to a bridge. The bridge is quiet. Polly is on Isabelle. Polly looks around. They hear a noise. A man walks fast. Polly flies to him. Polly is colorful. The man stops. Isabelle talks to him. She is calm. She says, "You have something." The man looks at Polly. Polly says, "The painting, please." The man is surprised. He puts it down. Isabelle is kind. She says, "It is okay." The man nods. He leaves. They have the painting. They go back. Paris is happy. Polly is proud. Polly helps again.
