I wonder where he came from?"
"Bow wow! Bow wow! I found him," barked Don, but of course the farmer
did not understand.
"Well, I'll put you back in the pen again until that boy sends for you,"
said the farmer, as he lifted Squinty over into the pen where his mamma
and papa and brothers and sisters were.
"Why--why, it's Squinty!" cried Mrs. Pig.
"He's come back!" grunted Mr. Pig.
"Oh, I'm so glad!" said Wuff-Wuff.
"And so am I," added Twisty Tail, as she rubbed her nose against
Squinty's. "Where have you been, and what happened to you?" she asked
her brother.
"Oh, many things," he said. "I have learned some tricks, I have been up
in a balloon, I met Slicko the jumping squirrel, Mappo, the merry
monkey, and I saw Tum-Tum, the jolly circus elephant. Now I am home
again."
"And which did you like best of all?" asked Mrs. Pig, when they had
finished asking him questions.
"Getting back home," answered Squinty, as he took a big drink of sour
milk.
And that is the story of Squinty, the comical pig.
