“Barber, barber shave a pig.

Four and twenty, that’s enough!
Give the burber a pinch of snuff. 1
Nancy und Nick looked to h
who was singing, and you may
imagine their surprise when a thl I
little red pig turned the corner.
“Hello ” he grunted wehn he saw
them. “When did you come to Dlx*
ie Land"?
“Yesterday,” answered Nick
“When did you come?”
“About six months ago, said the
little pig. “I was born here."
“My goodness!" exclaimed Nan
cy. “You aren’t very big. You
look thin. Have you been slvk?”
"No, sir, l haven’t" declared the
little red pig indignantly. “Never
felt better'ln my Lre! It’s my na
ture to he thin. I’m called Reddy
Razor Bark. Because my back
bone sticks up like a razor. I-sup
pose. Aren't all plan like me?”
"I should say not ” mM Nick,
The pigs in Hquea!y*Moo Land are
as fat as butter. They’re fat
they look like sausages!"
The little pig shuddered. “Ugh"
he squealed. "Don’t «ay that word,
please. Bacon and wieners and
ham and pork are likewise never
mentioned In polite pig society In
Dixie Land.”
“I shouldn’t think you would need
to worry," spoke up Nancy, "You’re
too thin to—to—"
“You may as well say it,” sighed'
the little pig. "I know what you
mean. I’m too thin for the butcher
to burlier with, you were going to
say. ' That's Just the trouble,
not. Down here in Dixie Land they
say ’The nearer the bone
sweeter the meat/ and my meat'*
ail pretty near to my bones. I try
as hard us I can to get fat so mj
meat wi!l*be farther away from my
bones, and therefore not so sweet,
but It does seem that the more 1
eat the thinner I get. Oh, me. Oh
my, I’m thinking of going on a
Journey."
“What would you do nnd where
would you go?" asked Nick.
"I was thinking of turning into t
barber," answered Reddy Rabor
Back. “I saw that verse, I wai
singing about barbers In ' a book
that the children had. Or I might
go to market, I saw where one
pig had done that. It was In tti<

“Listen to me. Piggy.” said Nick
patting him kindly. “If I were

I shouldn’t worry one bit That’*
