“Take time, woman,” that says; “next guess, and you’re mine.” And that stretched out that’s black hands at her.
Well, she backed a step or two, and she looked at it, and then she laughed out, and says she, pointing her finger at it:
“Nimmy nimmy not,
Your name’s Tom Tit Tot.”
Well, when that heard her, that gave an awful shriek, and away that flew into the dark, and she never saw it any more.
The Old Woman and her Pig
Once upon a time an old woman was sweeping her little house, when, to her great joy, she found a silver sixpence.
“What,” said she, “shall I do with this little sixpence? I think I will go to market and buy a pig.” So the next day she went to market and bought a nice little white pig. She tied a string to one of the pig’s legs and began to drive him home.
On the way the old woman and her pig came to a stile, and she said:
“Please, pig, get over the stile.”
