     ;I thought you had eaten them�察─�said Pigling�察�waking suddenly。 

     ;Only   the   corners�察─  �replied   Pig´   wig�察  �studying   the   sentiments   with 

much interest by the firelight。 

     ;I wish you wouldn't�察�he might smell them through the ceiling�察─�said 

the alarmed Pigling。 

     Pig´wig     put   back   the   sticky   peppermints     into   her  pocket�察    �Sing 

something�察─�she demanded。 

     ;I am sorry 。 。 。 I have tooth´ ache�察─�said Pigling much dismayed。 

     ;Then I will sing�察─�replied Pig´wig。 ;You will not mind if I say iddy 

tidditty�拭�I have forgotten some of the words。; 

     Pigling Bland made no objection�察�he sat with his eyes half shut�察�and 

watched her。 

       She wagged her head and rocked about�察�clapping time and singing in 

a sweet little grunty voice 

       ;A funny old mother pig lived in a stye�察�and three little piggies had 

she�察 ┌�Ti idditty idditty�� umph�察�umph�察�umph� �and the little pigs said�察�wee�察�

wee� ─�



     She sang successfully through three or four verses�察�only at every verse 

her head nodded a little lower�察�and her little twinkly eyes closed up。 

       ;Those three little piggies grew peaky and lean�察�and lean they might 

very  well   be�察   �For   somehow   they   couldn't   say  umph�察  �umph�察  �umph�   �and 

they wouldn't say wee�察�wee�察�wee�  �For somehow they couldn't say 

       Pig´wig's head bobbed lower and lower�察�until she rolled over�察�a little 

round ball�察�fast asleep on the hearth´rug。 

     Pigling Bland�察�on tip´toe�察�covered her up with an antimacassar 

       He was afraid to go to sleep himself�察�for the rest of the night he sat 

listening to the chirping of the crickets and to the snores of Mr。 Piperson 

overhead。 

       Early in the morning�察�between dark and daylight�察�Pigling tied up his 

little bundle and woke up Pig´ wig。 She was excited and half´ frightened。 

But it's dark� �How can we find our way�拭─�

     ;The cock has crowed�察�we must start before the hens come out�察�they 

might shout to Mr。 Piperson。;

     Pig´wig sat down again�察�and commenced to cry。 

     ;Come away Pig´wig�察�we can see when we get used to it。 Come� �I can 

hear them clucking� ─�

     Pigling had never said shuh� �to a hen in his life�察�being peaceable�察�also 

he remembered the hamper。 

       He opened the house door quietly and shut it after them。 There was 

no garden�察�the neighbourhood of Mr。 Piperson's was all scratched up by 

fowls。 They slipped away hand in hand across an untidy field to the road。 

       The   sun   rose   while   they   were   crossing   the   moor�察  �a   dazzle   of   light 

over   the   tops   of   the   hills。   The   sunshine   crept   down   the   slopes   into   the 

peaceful green valleys�察�where little white cottages nestled in gardens and 

orchards。 

       ;That's Westmorland�察─�said Pig´wig。 She dropped Pigling's hand and 

commenced to dance�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��' 

; 

       ;Come�察�Pig´wig�察�we must get to the bridge before folks are stirring。; 

;Why do you want to go to market�察�Pigling�拭─�inquired Pig´wig presently。 

;I don't want�察�I want to grow potatoes。; ;Have a peppermint�拭─�said Pig´ 

wig。  Pigling   Bland   refused   quite   crossly。  ;Does   your   poor   toothy  hurt�拭─�

inquired Pig´wig。 Pigling Bland grunted。 

       Pig´wig ate the peppermint herself and followed the opposite side of 

the road。 ;Pig´wig� �keep under the wall�察�there's a man ploughing。; Pig´wig 

crossed over�察�they hurried down hill towards the county boundary。 

       Suddenly Pigling stopped�察�he heard wheels。 

     Slowly jogging up the road below them came a tradesman's cart。 The 

reins flapped on the horse's back�察�the grocer was reading a newspaper。 

       ;Take that peppermint out of your mouth�察�Pig´wig�察�we may have to 

run。 Don't say one word。 Leave it to me。 And in sight of the bridge� ─�said 

poor   Pigling�察  �nearly   crying。   He   began   to   walk   frightfully   lame�察  �holding 

Pig´wig's arm。 

       The grocer�察�intent upon his news´ paper�察�might have passed them�察�if 

his horse had not shied and snorted。 He pulled the cart crossways�察�and held

down his whip。 ;Hallo� �Where are YOU going to�拭�Pigling Bland stared 

at him vacantly。 

       ;Are you deaf�拭�Are you going to market�拭─�Pigling nodded slowly。 

     ;I thought as much。 It was yesterday。 Show me your licence�拭─�

     Pigling   stared   at   the   off   hind   shoe   of   the   grocer's   horse   which   had 

picked up a stone。 

     The grocer flicked his whip ;Papers�拭�Pig licence�拭─�Pigling fumbled 

in   all   his pockets�察  �and   handed   up   the papers。 The   grocer   read   them�察  �but 

still   seemed   dissatisfied。   ;This   here   pig   is   a   young   lady�察  �is   her   name 

Alexander�拭─�Pig´wig opened her mouth and shut it again�察�Pigling coughed 

asthmatically。 

       The   grocer   ran   his   finger   down   the   advertisement   column   of      his 

newspaper;Lost�察�stolen or strayed�察�10s。 reward。; He looked suspiciously 

at Pig´wig。 Then he stood up in the trap�察�and whistled for the ploughman。 

       ;You wait here while I drive on and speak to him�察─�said the grocer�察�

gathering up the reins。 He knew that pigs are slippery�察�but surely�察�such a 

VERY lame pig could never run� �

       ;Not yet�察�Pig´wig�察�he will look back。; The grocer did so�察�he saw the 

two pigs stock´still in the middle of the road。 Then he looked over at his 

horse's   heels�察  �it   was   lame   also�察  �the   stone   took   some   time   to   knock   out�察�

after he got to the ploughman。 

     ;Now�察�Pig´wig�察�NOW� ─�said Pigling Bland。 

     Never did any pigs run as these pigs ran� �They raced and squealed and 

pelted   down   the   long   white  hill   towards   the   bridge。  Little   fat   Pig´   wig's 

petticoats fluttered�察�and her feet went pitter�察�patter�察�pitter�察�as she bounded 

and jumped。 

       They ran�察�and they ran�察�and they ran down the hill�察�and across a short 

cut on level green turf at the bottom�察�between pebble beds and rushes。 

     They came to the river�察�they came to the bridgethey crossed it hand 

in hand´ then over the hills and far away she danced with Pigling Bland� �

       THE TALE OF TWO BAD MICE 



       FOR   W。   M。   L。   W。   THE   LITTLE   GIRL   WHO   HAD   THE   DOLL 

HOUSE 



    ONCE upon a time there was a very beautiful doll's house�察�it was red 

brick with white windows�察�and it had real muslin curtains and a front door 

and a chimney。 

    IT belonged to two Dolls called Lucinda and Jane�察�at least it belonged 

to Lucinda�察�but she never ordered meals。 

    Jane was the Cook�察�but she never did any cooking�察�because the dinner 

had been bought ready´made�察�in a box full of shavings。 

    THERE were two red lobsters�察�and a ham�察�a fish�察�a pudding�察�and some 

pears and oranges。 

    They would not come off the plates�察�but they were extremely beautiful。 

    ONE morning Lucinda and Jane had gone out for a drive in the doll's 

perambulator。   There   was   no   one   in   the   nursery�察  �and   it   was   very   quiet。 

Presently there was a little scuffling�察�scratching noise in a corner near the 

fireplace�察�where there was a hole under the skirting´board。 

    Tom   Thumb   put   out   his   head   for   a   moment�察  �and   then   popped   it   in 

again。 

    Tom Thumb was a mouse。 

    A MINUTE afterwards Hunca Munca�察�his wife�察�put her head out�察�too�察�

and when she saw that there was no one in the nursery�察�she ventured out 

on the oilcloth under the coal´box 

    THE doll's house stood at the other side of the fireplace。 Tom Thumb 

and Hunca Munca went cautiously across the hearth´rug。 They pushed the 

front doorit was not fast。 

    TOM THUMB and Hunca Munca went up´stairs and peeped into the 

dining´ room。 Then they squeaked with joy� �

     Such   a   lovely   dinner   was   laid   out   upon   the   table�   �There   were   tin 

spoons�察    �and   lead   knives   and    forks�察 �and   two    dolly´chairs   all  SO 

convenient� �

    TOM THUMB set to work at once to carve the ham。 It was a beautiful 



                                          76

shiny yellow�察�streaked with red。 

     The knife crumpled up and hurt him�察�he put his finger in his mouth。 

     ;It is not boiled enough�察�it is hard。 You have a try�察�Hunca Munca。; 

     HUNCA   MUNCA   up            in  her   chair�察 �and   chopped     at  the   ham   with 

another lead knife。 

     ;It's as hard as the hams at the cheesemonger's�察─�said Hunca Munca。 

     THE ham broke off the plate with a jerk�察�and rolled under the table。 

     ;Let it alone�察─�said Tom Thumb�察 �give me some fish�察�Hunca Munca� ─�

     HUNCA MUNCA tried every tin spoon in turn�察�the fish was glued to 

the dish。 

     Then Tom Thumb lost his temper。 He put the ham in the middle of the 

floor�察  �and   hit   it   with   the   tongs   and   with   the   shovelbang�察  �bang�察  �smash�察�

smash� �

     The   ham   flew   all   into   pieces�察  �for   underneath   the   shiny   paint   it   was 

made of nothing but plaster� �

     THEN      there   was    no  end   to  the   rage   and   disappointment      of  Tom 

Thumb and   Hunca   Munca。 They  broke   up   the pudding�察 �the   lobsters�察 �the 

pears�察�and the oranges。
