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.
