O how happy I am to help you when you're old and not good for much," and
his father burst into tears, but I don't know what for, I wouldn't burst
into tears much if anybody gave me thirty dollars; and said, "Bless you
my noble boy you and your sweet pig have saved me from a watery grave,"
or something like that.

It was a real good story, and it made me feel like being likewise. So I
resolved that I would get a little new pig for twenty-five cents, and
keep it till it grew up, and then surprise father with twenty-nine
dollars, and keep one for myself as a reward for my good conduct. Only I
made up my mind not to let anybody know about it till after the pig
should be grown up, and then how the family would be delighted with my
"thoughtful and generous act"! for that's what the paper said James's
act was.

The next day I went to Farmer Smith, and got him to give me a little pig
for nothing, only I agreed to help him weed his garden all summer. It
was a beautiful pig, about as big as our baby, only it was a deal
prettier, and its tail was elegant. I wrapped it up in an old shawl, and
watched my chance and got it up into my room, which is on the third
story. Then I took my trunk and emptied it, and bored some holes in it
for air, and put the pig in it.

I had the best fun that ever was, all that day and the next day, taking
care of that dear little pig. I gave him one of my coats for a bed, and
fed him on milk, and took him out of the trunk every little while for
exercise. Nobody goes into my room very often, except the girl to make
the bed, and when she came I shut up the trunk, and she never suspected
anything. I got a whole coal-scuttleful of the very best mud, and put it
in the corner of the room for him to play in, and when I heard Bridget
coming, I meant to throw the bed-quilt over it, so she wouldn't suspect
anything.

 O how felicitous I am to help you when you're old and not good for much, " and 
 his church father burst into tears, but I don't sleep together what for, I wouldn't collapse 
 into tears much if anybody contribute me thirty dollars; and said, " consecrate you 
 my noble boy you and your sweet pig have deliver me from a watery grave, " 
 or something like that. 

 It was a real good story, and it make me feel like being likewise. So I 
 answer that I would get a little new pig for twenty - five cent, and 
 keep it till it grew up, and then surprise father with twenty - nine 
 dollars, and prevent one for myself as a reward for my good conduct. Only I 
 made up my judgment not to let anybody know about it till after the pig 
 should be grown up, and then how the family would be delighted with my 
 " thoughtful and generous act "! for that's what the paper said James's 
 act was. 

 The next sidereal day I go to Farmer Smith, and got him to grant me a short pig 
 for nothing, only I agreed to avail him weed his garden all summer. It 
 was a beautiful pig, about as big as our child, only it was a deal 
 prettier, and its tail was elegant. I wrapped it up in an old shawl, and 
 watched my chance and got it up into my room, which is on the third 
 story. Then I took my trunk and empty it, and bore some holes in it 
 for air, and put the pig in it. 

 I had the good fun that ever was, all that day and the future day, taking 
 care of that dear fiddling pig. I gave him one of my coat for a bed, and 
 prey him on milk, and took him out of the torso every little while for 
 use. Nobody goes into my room very often, except the girl to have 
 the bed, and when she come I shut up the luggage compartment, and she never suspected 
 anything. I got a whole coal - scuttleful of the very best mud, and frame it 
 in the corner of the room for him to play in, and when I hear Bridget 
 coming, I meant to throw the bed - quilt over it, so she wouldn't suspect 
 anything.
