The old woman and her pig One day an old woman was sweeping her home when she found some money that she had forgotten about. She was so happy that she danced around singing. "Look at this," she said holding the money up in the air. "Now what shall I do with it? I know! I will go to the market and buy a pig." So, the next day she went to the market and bought a nice little pig. She put a collar on the pig, tied a string on the collar and began to walk home with it. On the way, they came across a low wooden fence. The old woman said, "Please, Pig, get over the fence." But the pig would not get over the fence. No matter how she pleaded, the pig would not move. Just then a dog came trotting up and the old woman said to him, "Dog, Dog! Come here. Please chase this pig. He won't get over the fence and I won't get home tonight." But the dog would not chase the pig. Author: Wendy Hartman Source: The old woman and her pig- Nalibali 1.1 What kind of literature does this story belong to?
