She had carried Ojo's basket in her hand, until now, when she decided to see what was inside it.

She found the bread and cheese, which she had no use for, and the bundle of charms, which were curious but quite a mystery to her.

Then, turning these over, she came upon the six-leaved clover which the boy had plucked.
Scraps was quick-witted, and although she had no heart she recognized the fact that Ojo was her first friend.

She knew at once that because the boy had taken the clover he had been imprisoned, and she understood that Ojo had given her the basket so they would not find the clover in his possession and have proof of his crime.

So, turning her head to see that no one noticed her, she took the clover from the basket and dropped it into a golden vase that stood on Dorothy's table.
