One day four little white pigs and three little white geese met together
near Rover’s kennel. But they were so full of themselves that they did
not notice where they were.
“We stole out while Mother Sow was dozing after dinner,” screamed the
little pigs. They laughed so much they rolled on the ground.
“We stole out while Mother Goose was gabbling with a neighbor,” giggled
the little geese. And they hugged their sides to think how clever they
were.
“What’s this! what’s this!” growled Rover, coming to the door of his
kennel.
The pigs squealed with fright and the geese clacked in terror. All took
to their heels, back to their mothers.
