And what do you suppose they saw? Only one apple. But such a fine, ripe apple it was and large enough to make up for any number o f smaller pieces of fruit. “ W ill ycu do me a favor?” asked the pig o f the goat. “ What is it?” asked the goat. “ Won’t you butt up against this tree as hard as you can and shake that apple down for me?” “ Oh, ho!” cried the goat. “ I was just going to ask you to rub up against the tree as hard as you could so as to shake that apple down for me.” “ No, I ’ll not shake It down for you, but I’ ll shake it down for myself,” said J the pig. “ I f you do, I ’ll get it and eat it,” answered the goat; “ but I think that I ’ll have to butt the tree so as to get the apple for myself.” “ I f you do, I ’ll get it and eat It," re plied the pig. So they both went to work to think ; o f a plan that would Insure their get ting the apple. A fter awhile the goat said: “ I ’ll tell you what we’ ll do.
