She went a little farther, and she met a stick. So she said—

[Illustration]

“Stick, stick, beat dog;

Dog won’t bite pig;

Piggy won’t get over the stile;

And I shan’t get home to-night.”

But the stick would not. She went a little farther, and she met a fire.

So she said—

“Fire, fire, burn stick;

Stick won’t beat dog;

Dog won’t bite pig;

Piggy won’t get over the stile;

And I shan’t get home to-night.”

But the fire would not.
