So away, at full speed, the wise animal ran
To drink up the water.--The water began
The flame to extinguish: but now 'twas the turn
Of the fire the ill-natured crab-stick to burn.
"Hold, hold," said the stick, "I am going to flog,
"Most soundly that obstinate cur of a dog."

[Illustration]

"But, Sir," said the dog, in a terrible fright,
"The old lady's pig I'm preparing to bite."
This proved to be true, and his bite was severe:
"Oh, oh!" cried the pig, "I must not remain here;"
So over the stile he thought proper to get,
And Goody no more had occasion to fret;
For the pig to his sty was now easily led,
And she put him a trough, and clean straw for a bed:
Then fastened the door and wish'd him good night.
The pig gave a grunt, as he could not speak right.

[Illustration]

The old dame went into her neat little house,
And is now safe in bed, and as snug as a mouse.
