They were both passengers ou tho same ship, and quita warm friends. jThey used to eat their cold potatoes off tha same plate, and but for one thing would never have had any trouble. This was the fact that tha dog had a kennel aud tho pig had none. : Somehow the pig got it into his head that the kennel belonged to whichever could get iuto it first, so every night there was a race. If tha dog won he showed his teeth, and the pig had to lie on tho softest plank ha could find. If the pig got in first Toby could not drive him out. One rainy afternoon the pig found, it rather unpleasant slipping about on deck and made up his mind to retire early. But when ho reached the kennel ken-nel he found the dog snug and warm inside. "Uuiph!" he said, but Toby made no reply. , j Suddenly au idea flashed upon him,: aud trudging off to where their dinner plate was lying, he carried it to 0 part of the deck where the dog could see it, aud turning his back to tho konnol, began rattling the plato and munching munch-ing as though he had a feast beforo . him. : This was too much for Toby. A good dinner and ho not thcrel Piggy kept on until Toby had come round in front of him and pushed his nose Into the empty plate. ! Then," like a shot, he turned around and was safe in the kenuel before Toby knew whether there was any dinner on tho plate or not. |
