"Bow, wow, wow!" said the dog. "Where are you going, Billy Bobtail?"
"Oh, I'm going to seek my fortune!" said Billy Bobtail.
"May I go, too?" said the dog.
"No," said Billy Bobtail.
"Yes, I will," said the dog.
"Well, then, come along," said Billy Bobtail.
So the dog followed on after Billy Bobtail.
They went along a little way farther and met a cat.
"Meow, meow, meow!" said the cat. "Where are you going, Billy Bobtail?"
"Oh, I'm going to seek my fortune!" said Billy Bobtail.
