Feeling very proud, Wee Peter trotted off to tell his chum, Nigger,
the black kitten, all about his little joke. "What do you think I've
done?" he cried.
"I've hidden the Dame's shoe!"
"Surely not!" cried Nigger. "How funny!"
And she shook with laughter.

At the other end of the garden was Mrs. Hen with her chicks.
"Let's come and tell her," suggested Nigger, and off they went.
"Such a lark!" cried Wee Peter. "I've hidden the Dame's shoe!"
Mrs. Hen's angry cackle-cackle turned into a very merry one.
"What fun!" she cried, and "What fun!" squeaked the little chicks.

All three ran eagerly down the pathway until they came across Sir
Cockerel perched in a dignified attitude on the fence.
"What do you think?" asked Mrs. Hen, who, being the eldest, thought
she was entitled to speak first; but before she could open her mouth
Wee Peter Pug cried, "I've hidden the Dame's shoe!"
"What a splendid joke!" exclaimed Sir Cockerel.
"Does Mrs. Duck know?" asked Sir Cockerel.
"No, let's see if we can find her," said Wee Peter.
