THE HISTORY OF FIVE LITTLE PIGS


THE LITTLE PIG WHO HAD NONE.

This was a most obstinate and wilful little pig. His mother had set him to learn his lesson; but no sooner had she gone out into the garden, than he tore his book into pieces. When his mother came back he ran off into the streets to play with other idle little pigs like himself. After this he quarreled with one of the pigs and got a sound thrashing. Being afraid to go home, he stayed out till it was quite dark and caught a severe cold. So he was taken home and put to bed, and had to take a lot of nasty physic.


THE LITTLE PIG WHO CRIED "WEE, WEE," ALL THE WAY HOME.

This little pig went fishing. Now, he had been told not to go into Farmer Grumpey's grounds, who did not allow any one to fish in his part of the river. But, in spite of what he had been told, this foolish little pig went there. He soon caught a very large fish, and while he was trying to carry it home, Father Grumpey came running along with his great whip. He quickly dropped the fish, but the farmer caught him, and as he laid his whip over his back for some time, the little pig ran off, crying, "Wee, wee, wee," all the way home.
