Kit's friend, the toad, gets into her saucer and sits, and she doesn't mind it at all. She laps what milk she wants, and leaves the rest for him.
One day, when she went to eat her dinner, the toad put his foot up on her face lovingly, as you would pat and smooth your dear mamma's face.
Sometimes I bring the saucer and Toady into the parlor to show my visitors. He likes it, and winks his bright eyes at them.
He never tried to get out but once. Then he swung his long legs over the side of the dish, and was just going to jump, when I put my hand on him.
The ladies all screamed and ran. Then they all laughed.
```With the soft green grass, the breezes and sun,
```And the sweet new flowers, and birdies gay,
```On this frolicksome, sunny, glad spring day.
```She has carried her driver far and fast,
```And now she is ready for rest at last.=
```Give her some grass, and take good care
```Of your pretty horse with the golden hair;
```With her little driver, till play is done.
```Through the tree-tops singing they go:
```But there are no things so glad and gay
```As our little ones at their merry play,
```And "make good times" for her darlings three.=
|We have nine little pigs. One is all white. One is light brown. The rest are spotted. These nine pigs live in a pen. It is in a yard near the barn. The pigs like to run in the yard. They turn up the soft dirt with their noses.
One day they made a hole under the fence. Piggy White got out of the yard first. The little brown pig came out next. Then all the spotted ones came out. Piggy White stopped to look around him. "Wee! wee! what a big world this is!" he said. Then all the other little pigs said "Wee! wee!" just like Piggy White.
Piggy White was larger than any of the others; so of course he knew all about it."
"Where shall we go?" said the little brown pig.
"Let us go up the hill," said a spotted one. The other little pigs said "Wee! wee!" again. That is the way they said yes.
So they started up the hill. It was a very small hill; but the pigs said, "What a large hill this is!" They were only baby pigs, you know. This was their first walk, out of their yard. By and by they came to the top of the hill. They saw a large house in a large yard "What a big pen!" said all the little pigs. "Do you think we shall find more pigs there?" said the brown pig. "Wee! wee!" said the others. You see, a pig thinks the whole world was made for pigs. Some one had left the gate open. The nine pigs went into the yard, one after another. No one was in sight, so they went on. They were still looking for pigs.
