"I have set everything to rights," she said, "and so it must stay. Now, will you go with the Pig Brother, or will you come back with me, and be a tidy child?"

The Pig Brother grunted.

"Small loss!" he said. "There will be all the more wash for me!" And he trotted off.

"It is my cake!" said the child.

"No, it is mine!" said his brother.
