AND she waddled into the kitchen�察�and got two onions out of a basket。
The collie´dog Kep met her coming out�察 �What are you doing with
those onions�拭 �Where do you go every afternoon by yourself�察 �Jemima
Puddle´duck�拭─�
Jemima was rather in awe of the collie�察�she told him the whole story。
The collie listened�察�with his wise head on one side�察�he grinned when

she described the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers。
HE asked several questions about the wood�察 �and about the exact
position of the house and shed。
Then he went out�察�and trotted down the village。 He went to look for
two fox´hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher。
JEMIMA PUDDLE´DUCK went up the cart´road for the last time�察�on
a sunny afternoon。 She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and
two onions in a bag。
She flew over the wood�察�and alighted opposite the house of the bushy
long´tailed gentleman。
HE was sitting on a log�察�he sniffed the air�察�and kept glancing uneasily
round the wood。 When Jemima alighted he quite jumped。
;Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs。 Give
me the herbs for the omelette。 Be sharp� ─�
He was rather abrupt。 Jemima Puddle´duck had never heard him speak
like that。
She felt surprised�察�and uncomfortable。
WHILE she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the
shed。 Some one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door�察�and
then locked it。
Jemima became much alarmed。
A MOMENT afterwards there were most awful noisesbarking�察�
baying�察�growls and howls�察�squealing and groans。
And nothing more was ever seen of that foxy´whiskered gentleman。
PRESENTLY Kep opened the door of the shed�察 �and let out Jemima
Puddle´duck。
Unfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before
he could stop them。
He had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping。
JEMIMA PUDDLE´DUCK was escorted home in tears on account of
those eggs。
SHE laid some more in June�察 �and she was permitted to keep them
herself�此�but only four of them hatched。
Jemima Puddle´duck said that it was because of her nerves�察 �but she

THE TALE OF PIGLING BLAND
FOR CECILY AND CHARLIE�察 �A TALE OF THE CHRISTMAS
PIG。
THE TALE OF PIGLING BLAND
ONCE upon a time there was an old pig called Aunt Pettitoes。 She had
eight of a family�此�four little girl pigs�察�called Cross´patch�察�Suck´suck�察�Yock´
yock and Spot�察�
and four little boy pigs�察 �called Alexander�察 �Pigling Bland�察 �Chin´ chin
and Stumpy。 Stumpy had had an accident to his tail。
The eight little pigs had very fine appetites。 ;Yus�察�yus�察�yus� �they eat
and indeed they DO eat� ─�said Aunt Pettitoes�察�looking at her family with
pride。 Suddenly there were fearful squeals�察�Alexander had squeezed inside
the hoops of the pig trough and stuck。
Aunt Pettitoes and I dragged him out by the hind legs。
Chin´chin was already in disgrace�察 �it was washing day�察 �and he had
eaten a piece of soap。 And presently in a basket of clean clothes�察�we found
another dirty little pig。 ;Tchut�察�tut�察�tut� �whichever is this�拭─�grunted Aunt
Pettitoes。
Now all the pig family are pink�察�or pink with black spots�察�but this pig
child was smutty black all over�察 �when it had been popped into a tub�察 �it
proved to be Yock´yock。
I went into the garden�察 �there I found Cross´patch and Suck´suck
rooting up carrots。 I whipped them myself and led them out by the ears。
Cross´patch tried to bite me。
;Aunt Pettitoes�察�Aunt Pettitoes� �you are a worthy person�察 �but your
family is not well brought up。 Every one of them has been in mischief
except Spot and Pigling Bland。;
;Yus�察�yus� ─�sighed Aunt Pettitoes。 ;And they drink bucketfuls of milk�察�
I shall have to get another cow� �Good little Spot shall stay at home to do
the housework�察�but the others must go。 Four little boy pigs and four little
girl pigs are too many altogether。; ;Yus�察 �yus�察 �yus�察─ �said Aunt Pettitoes�察�
;there will be more to eat without them。;
So Chin´chin and Suck´suck went away in a wheel´barrow�察 �and
66

Stumpy�察�Yock´yock and Cross´ patch rode away in a cart。
And the other two little boy pigs�察�Pigling Bland and Alexander�察�went
to market。 We brushed their coats�察�
we curled their tails and washed their little faces�察 �and wished them
good´bye in the yard。
Aunt Pettitoes wiped her eyes with a large pocket handkerchief�察�then
she wiped Pigling Bland's nose and shed tears�察�then she wiped Alexander's
nose and shed tears�察 �then she passed the handkerchief to Spot。 Aunt
Pettitoes sighed and grunted�察�and addressed those little pigs as follows�此�
;Now Pigling Bland�察�son Pigling Bland�察�you must go to market。 Take
your brother Alexander by the hand。 Mind your Sunday clothes�察 �and
remember to blow your nose;
��Aunt Pettitoes passed round the handkerchief again��;beware of traps�察�
hen roosts�察 �bacon and eggs�察 �always walk upon your hind legs。; Pigling
Bland�察�who was a sedate little pig�察�looked solemnly at his mother�察�a tear
trickled down his cheek。
Aunt Pettitoes turned to the other;Now son Alexander take the
hand;;Wee�察 �wee�察 �wee� ─ �giggled Alexander;take the hand of your
brother Pigling Bland�察�you must go to market。 Mind; ;Wee�察�wee�察�wee� ─�
interrupted Alexander again。 You put me out�察─�said Aunt Pettitoes
;Observe sign´posts and milestones�察 �do not gobble herring bones;
;And remember�察─ �said I impressively�察 �if you once cross the county
boundary you cannot come back。
Alexander�察�you are not attending。 Here are two licences permitting two
pigs to go to market in Lancashire。 Attend�察�Alexander。 I have had no end
of trouble in getting these papers from the policeman。;
Pigling Bland listened gravely�察�Alexander was hopelessly volatile。
I pinned the papers�察�for safety�察�inside their waistcoat pockets�察�
Aunt Pettitoes gave to each a little bundle�察 �and eight conversation
peppermints with appropriate moral sentiments in screws of paper。 Then
they started。
Pigling Bland and Alexander trotted along steadily for a mile�察�at least
Pigling Bland did。 Alexander made the road half as long again by skipping
from side to side。 He danced about and pinched his brother�察�singing

;This pig went to market�察�this pig stayed at home�察 �This pig had a bit
of meat
let's see what they have given US for dinner�察�Pigling�拭─�
Pigling Bland and Alexander sat down and untied their bundles。
Alexander gobbled up his dinner in no time�察�he had already eaten all his
own peppermints。 ;Give me one of yours�察�please�察�Pigling。;
;But I wish to preserve them for emergencies�察─ �said Pigling Bland
doubtfully。 Alexander went into squeals of laughter。 Then he pricked
Pigling with the pin that had fastened his pig paper�察 �and when Pigling
slapped him he dropped the pin�察 �and tried to take Pigling's pin�察 �and the
papers got mixed up。 Pigling Bland reproved Alexander。
But presently they made it up again�察 �and trotted away together�察�
singing
;Tom�察�Tom�察�the piper's son�察�stole a pig and away he ran� �But all the
tune that he could play�察�was 'Over the hills and far away��' ;
;What's that�察�young sirs�拭�Stole a pig�拭�Where are your licences�拭─�said
the policeman。 They had nearly run against him round a corner。 Pigling
Bland pulled out his paper�察 �Alexander�察 �after fumbling�察 �handed over
something scrumply
;To 2 1/2 oz。 conversation sweeties at three farthings;;What's this�拭�
This ain't a licence。 ;Alexander's nose lengthened visibly�察�he had lost it。; I
had one�察�indeed I had�察�Mr。 Policeman� ─�
;It's not likely they let you start without。 I am passing the farm。 You
may walk with me。; ;Can I come back too�拭─�inquired Pigling Bland。 ;I see
no reason�察�young sir�察�your paper is all right。; Pigling Bland did not like
going on alone�察�and it was beginning to rain。 But it is unwise to argue with
the police�察�he gave his brother a peppermint�察�and watched him out of sight。
To conclude the adventures of Alexanderthe policeman sauntered
up to the house about tea time�察�followed by a damp subdued little pig。 I
disposed of Alexander in the neighbourhood�察�he did fairly well when he
had settled down。
Pigling Bland went on alone dejectedly�察�he came to cross´roads and a
sign´post;To
