So the mother pig opened the gate a very
little way, and when she saw Wee-wee's
white feet she let him in; and little
Yellow Wang-lo, who was close behind,
slipped in also, for he did not dare to
go home without the pig for his father's
dinner.

When he got inside he found a very big
fat old mother pig and seven little
black, white, red and black and white
piglets.

They were playing at Catch-who-can, so
little Wee-wee and little Yellow Wang-lo
joined in the game until they were
splashed all over from head to foot, and
they had torn little Wang-lo's Sunday
coat all to rags and trodden his hat and
shoes into the mud.

When it was bed-time all the little pigs
went into a little house which stood in
the yard and went to sleep, but little
Yellow Wang-lo wanted to slip out and go
home, so he only pretended to be asleep.
Soon he heard loud snores, and he knew
the mother pig must be asleep, so he
crept to the door, but found to his
dismay the mother pig quite blocked up
the doorway.

He was determined to escape, so he
crawled up her back and up the door

off a tile and squeezed out through the
little hole on to the roof.

As he sat wondering how to get down an
enormous eagle suddenly swooped down,

its claws it rose up, up, up into the
air and flew away.

While the eagle was flying high up in
the air across the river on his way home
he suddenly let little Yellow Wang-lo
fall down, down, down.

And he fell with a tremendous "Splash"!
into the river just near his father's
houseboat, and as he had no clothes, nor
shoes, nor hat he quickly swam home.

When cross old Fo-Pa, who was very
hungry by now and very tired of waiting,
saw little Yellow Wang-lo returning
without his Sunday coat, hat and shoes,
no pig and no money, he took a thick
stick and began to beat him, and told
him directly it was daylight he must go
back to land and bring back the little
black pig.

Early the next morning little Yellow
Wang-lo started off to find the home of
the little black Pig.

He soon found the gate, and knocked and
asked to be let in; but the mother pig
said "No," in a very angry voice.

Then he begged one of the little pigs to
come out to him;
