him on his back If he could do this,
he would have no trouble in killing
Prickly Porky without getting any of
those little spears fast in his own flesh.
He stole nearer and nearer. He would
take step and then stop and watch.
Then he would take another step. All

Prickly Porky acted Just as If he knew
