"What are you doing here?"
"I've come to kill the great snake that eats the farmer's cattle."
"I'm glad of that," said the horse; "for it steals my colts. How are you going to do it?"
"I don't know," said the pig. "Can't you help me?"
"I'll give you some of the long hairs from my tail," said the horse.
The pig took them and thanked the horse. And when he went a little farther he met a cow.
"Moo!" said the cow. That was her way of saying "How do you do?" "Who are you?"
"I'm the little Fire Pig."
"What are you doing here?"
"I've come to kill the great snake that eats the farmer's cattle."
