1. Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee, Hungry pigs as pigs could be, For their dinner had to wait Down behind the barnyard gate.

2. Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee Climbed the barnyard gate to see, Peeping through the gate so high, But no dinner could they spy. 3. Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee Got down sad as pigs could be; But the gate soon opened wide And they scampered forth outside.

4. Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee, What was their delight to see Dinner ready not far off— Such a full and tempting trough! 5. Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee, Greedy pigs as pigs could be, For their dinner ran pell-mell; In the trough both piggies fell.

VI.—A LITTLE BOY’S WALK.

A little boy went walking One lovely summer’s day: He saw a little rabbit That quickly ran away; He saw a shining river Go winding in and out, And little fishes in it Were swimming all about;

And, slowly, slowly turning, The great wheel of the mill; And then the tall church steeple, The little church so still;

The bridge above the water; And when he stopped to rest, He saw among the bushes A wee ground-sparrow’s nest.

And as he watched the birdies Above the tree-tops fly, He saw the clouds a-sailing Across the sunny sky.

He saw the insects playing; The flowers that summer brings; He said, “I’ll go tell mamma! I’ve seen so many things!”
