“You’ll have to write under it, ‘This is a pig,’” said Adale.
“And I will do it too,” said Leefee, and she did so, as you can see by the picture.

“This will be a conventional pig, like my other one,” said Adale, laughing as she shut her eyes. When she had finished her drawing, all confessed, amidst great laughter, that it was not at all a “conventional pig;” so Adale wrote under her production:
“THIS IS AN UNCONVENTIONAL PIG.”
“It looks more like a tapir than a pig,” said Leefee, mindful of Adale’s criticism on her effort.
“Well, isn’t a tapir a kind of unconventional pig?” replied the artist.
“Your pigs are all too long,” said Maud; “you don’t make them fat enough.”
“You can be guided by your own criticism, for you come next after Adale,” said cousin Joe, merrily.
