BREAKFAST
<( “Grunt, grunt,’’ said Brother Bacon,
“I do enjoy my breakfast and that’s
the truth.”
“Squeal, squeal,” said Miss Ham, “I
do enjoy my breakfast too and that is
also the truth.”
“Grunt, grunt," said Grandfather
Porky Pig, “breakfast is a most de­
lightful meal.”
“Squeal, squeal,” said Mrs. Pink
Pig. “Squeal, squeal, I really love
breakfast.”
“Some creatures,” said Master Pink
Pig, “say that it is not right to speak
of loving food, but I do not think they
appreciate food when they speak that
way.”
‘‘They can’t if they say such things,"
said Pinky Pig, “for iove ;s so beauti­
ful a thing and so beautiful a thing
should not be wasted on anything or­
dinary.
“Love should be gi^en to food.”
“Yes,” said Sir Percival Pork, “I
believe in being generous in giving my
love to food.”
And so do I,” said Sir Benjamin
Bacon.
“Ah, what a pleasant sound has the
word food,” said Sammy Sausage. “I
can. think now of all sorts of good
things to eat.”
((. “The only thing,” said Miss Ham,
“is that I enjoy my dinner and supper
as well as my breakfast. All meals
to me are wonderful.”
“So they are to me, grunt, grunt,"
said Grandfather Porky.
“And so they are to me, squeal,
squeal,” said Mrs. Pink Pig. “I love
all meals.”
“I do, too, grunt, grunt,” said Mas­
ter Pink Pig.
“And I agree,” said Pinky Pig.
“How nice it Is that we all agree,”
said Sir Percival Pork.
“We agree excellently about that
subject at any rate,” said Sir Benja­
min Bacon.
“We don’t always agree about who
most deserves food,” said Sammy Sau­
sage.
“Well, that is different, squeal,
squeal,” said Miss Ham.
“Very different, grunt, grunt,” said
Grandfather Porky.
“It’s something else again,” said
Mrs. Pink Pig.
“Of course it is,” said Mrs. Pinky-
Pig.
“To be sure,*’ said Master Pink Pig.
“Assuredly, grunt, grunt,” said
Pinky Pig.
“True, true,” said Sammy Sausage.
“Grunt, grunt, true, true,” said Sir
Benjamin Bacon. “We agree about
the subject of food as being a worthy-
