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;

[Illustration: THE RABBIT [index and middle finger in "V" sign]]

[Illustration: RAN AWAY [same, with arm moving behind back]]

He saw a shining river
Go winding in and out,
And little fishes in it
Were swimming all about;

[Illustration: SHINING RIVER [hands describing a long curve]]

[Illustration: THE FISHES [fingers waggling downward]]

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

[Illustration: MILL WHEEL [hands turning over each other]]

[Illustration: CHURCH STEEPLE [hands clasped upward, index fingers
steepled]]

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

[Illustration: THE BRIDGE [palms downward, fingers straight and
interlaced, thumbs extended downward]]

[Illustration: THE NEST [hands cupped sideways to form circle]]

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

[Illustration: ABOVE THE TREE-TOP FLY [arms and hands extended

[Illustration: CLOUDS A-SAILING [one arm extended upward, fingers

He saw the insects playing;
The flowers that summer brings;
He said, "I'll go tell mamma!
I've seen _so many_ things!"
