"Oh, I'll go!" exclaimed Floppy and Curly together, quickly, and you could not tell which one spoke first. But Mrs. Twistytail said:
"Well, I think I'll let Floppy go, and when he comes back I'll give you each some of the cake."
So off Flop ran to the store, squealing as hard as anything because he was so happy. At first Curly felt a little sad that he couldn't go to the store, for the man who kept it always gave the piggie boys a sweet cracker or something like that. But, of course, only one was needed to carry the chocolate.
"Never mind," said Curly's mamma to him. "You may go next time."
So then he felt better, and he was thinking what fun it would be to have a piece of chocolate cake, when all of a sudden he stopped to think.
"I guess I'll go to school again!" he exclaimed. "That will be fun.
Yes, I'll go to school!"
So off he started, while his brother was getting the chocolate at the store, and pretty soon Curly came to the place where the lady bug school teacher had her classes of animal children in a hollow stump.
Curly knocked at the door, and when the teacher came to open it he made his best bow.
"Well, what is it, little piggie boy?" asked the teacher, kindly.
"If you please," said Curly, "I want to come to school."
