"Curly and Floppy Twistytail; the Funny Piggie Boys"

"
So they strolled out of their house, and started for the woods. I
forgot to say that the Twistytail family of pigs lived in a regular
house--of course not the kind you boys and girls live in, but still
it was a very good house for pigs. It had tables in it, and chairs
and beds and all things like that. And the reason they were called
"Twistytail" was because their tails did have a sort of twist or
turn in them.
Well, the two pig boys wandered on through the woods, and pretty
soon they came to two paths, one leading to left and the other to
the right.
"Let's go this way," said the older pig boy, who yet didn't have any
name, and he pointed his leg toward the right-hand path.
"No, I think we will find an adventure on this road," said his
younger brother, and he started off to the left.
"Oh, there you go!" cried the older pig boy. "You never want to do
what I like!"
"Well, I've got just as good a right to go this way as you have to
go that way," answered the younger piggie-iggie, and so those two
brothers, instead of keeping together and looking for adventures,
separated, and one went one way, while the other went the other way.
