He ran through a fence into a big place where there was plenty of grass. There were some very big red things in there, and one saw the little pig and ran after him.

“Oh, dear!” said the little pink pig (only he was not pink any more because he was all covered with mud), “are you a big pig?”

The big red thing shook its head and said “Moo!” and tossed the little pig up in the air. The little pig fell on the ground with a hard bump. He lay still till the red thing went away. Then he got up and ran as fast as he could.

He ran out in the road, and right into a black and white speckled thing with two legs. The speckled thing puffed up and said “Squawk!”

The little pig ran as fast as he could because he thought the speckled thing was chasing him. But it wasn’t.

The little pig did not know where he was running, and he did not have time to find out. The first thing he knew he almost ran into a lot of two-legged things. They had big yellow mouths.

“‘hiss!’ it said, and it nipped the little pig’s leg.”

One of them said “Hiss-ss!” and ran out and nipped the little pig’s hind leg. The little pig squealed and ran the other way.
