BABY PEGGY'S OWN STORY BOOK have you heard the news? Widow Fox has a beast living with her called the mighty Mr. Samson Cat. He eats ten oxen a day, and then says he hasn't had enough!" "What a terrible thing," said Bruin, "I should like to see that beast!" So they discussed this way and that, and sent Mr. Pig to Widow Fox to ask if they might just with one eye have a peep at Mr. Samson Cat. And Mr. Pig came to Widow Fox and said: "How do you do? how do you do, Widow Fox? We have heard tell of your Mr. Samson Cat and we should so like to have a look at him. Do please tell us how this could be arranged without the danger of his eating us up !" And Widow Fox thought for a bit and then said: "This is how you must arrange it: bake a lot of pies and get a lot of honey, and invite us to come and see you. Perhaps he won't do you any harm then." And Mr. Pig was delighted and ran back to his friends and told Mr. Wolf and Mr. Bruin: "Widow Fox says: 'Bake a lot of pies and get a lot of honey, and we will come and see you, and perhaps the mighty Mr. Samson Cat won't eat you all up.' " And so Bruin began to get the honey, Mr. Wolf began to bake the pies, and Mr. Pig began to tidy up, and get ready to receive the expected guests. And they baked a lot of pies, and got a lot of honey, and Bruin said: "I shall get up into a tree; from there I shall see better when the guests begin to arrive." And so he climbed up. [38]
