“You were very greedy,” said the girl.

“I was very hungry,” replied the kitten.

The little pigs had stood huddled in a group, watching this scene with frightened eyes.

“Cats are dreadful creatures!” said one of them.

“I’m glad we are not fishes!” said another.

“Don’t worry,” Dorothy murmured, soothingly, “I’ll not let the kitten hurt you.”

Then she happened to remember that in a corner of her suitcase were one or two crackers that were left over from her luncheon on the train, and she went to the buggy and brought them. Eureka stuck up her nose at such food, but the tiny piglets squealed delightedly at the sight of the crackers and ate them up in a jiffy.

“Now let us go back to the city,” suggested the Wizard. “That is, if Jim has had enough of the pink grass.”
