Explore "The Old Woman And Her Pig" by Anonymous on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A little old woman, who lived in a house, / Too small for a giant, too big for a mouse,-- / Was sweeping her chambers, (though she had not many,) / When she found, by good fortune, a bright silver penny!
Delighted she seized it, and, dancing a jig, / Exclaim'd, "With this money I'll purchase a pig. " / So saying, away to the market she went, / And the fruits of her fortunate sweeping she spent / On a smooth-coated, black-spotted, curly-tailed thing, / Which she led off in triumph, by means of a string.
