Annie gets arrested because she was in the Olympic games.  She didn't know why she got arrested.  Girls were not allowed in the Olympic Games, or to watch them.  They didn't go to school, they weren't allowed in anything.  They only cleaned the kitchen.  There was a secret girl that wrote books because she taught herself how to write and read.

A big white horse with wings saved her.  His name was Pegasus.

The olympics started in 776 BC and they went to 394 AD.  The first modern olympics was held in Athens, Greece in 1896.
