The Sheep and the Pig
The Sheep and the Pig were good friends. “Let us find a place to build a house,” said the sheep to the pig.
“We will live in together,” said the pig.
The sheep and the pig set out. On the way, they met a rabbit.
“Where are you going?” asked the rabbit. “We are going to build a house,” said the sheep and the pig.
“May I live with you?” asked the rabbit. “I can give wool to make the beds,” said the sheep. “I can make the house,” said the pig.
“What work can you do?” asked the sheep and the pig.
The rabbit said, “I can find carrots for us to eat.”
“Good!” said the sheep and the pig. “Come with us.” The three walked on till they met a goose.
“Where are you going?” asked the goose. “We are going to build a house,” said the sheep, the pig and the rabbit.
“May I live with you?” asked the goose. “What work can you do?,” asked the sheep, the pig and the rabbit.
The goose said, “I can collect water in my beak.”
“Good!” said the sheep, the pig and the rabbit. “Come with us.” So the four went on the way till they met a cock.
“Where are you going?” asked the cock. “We are going to build a house,” said the sheep, the pig , the rabbit and the goose.
“May I live with you?” asked the cock. “What work can you do?,” asked the sheep, the pig, the rabbit and the goose.
The cock said, “I can crow and wake you up in the morning.”
“Good!” said the sheep, the pig , the rabbit and the goose. “Come with us.”
The five friends walked on till they found a large open land. They decided to make a house on the land.
The pig made the house. The sheep made warm beds. The rabbit got carrots. The goose got water. They they all went to sleep.
The next morning, the cock crowed to tell them rise and do the work.
