Garis, Howard R. (Howard Roger), 1873-1962

"Curly and Floppy Twistytail; the Funny Piggie Boys"

"
"Oh, ho!" exclaimed Curly. "That's a school, that's what it is."
"To be sure," agreed his brother. "Let's go in and learn our A B C's
and then we can go home and tell mamma all about it. This is an
adventure, all right."
"I believe it is," said Curly. So the two little piggy boys walked
along through the front door of the school, right into the room
where the nice lady bug teacher was telling the children how to make
a straight line crooked by bending it, and how to put butter on
their bread, by spreading it.
"Oh, my!" exclaimed a little rabbit girl, as she saw the two piggie
boys in school. "Look at that!"
"Quiet! No talking!" said the lady bug teacher.
"Oh, but this is like Mary's little lamb, only it's different," said
Jonny Bushytail, the squirrel boy, as he remembered the verse about
the lamb in school. Only this time it was pigs.
And, all this while Curly and Flop just stood there, in the school
room looking about them and wondering what they had better do.
