 About two days, or maybe three days and part of another one, after Curly Twistytail and his brother, Flop1, had run away to school and had performed their funny tricks, as I told you in the story before this one, something else happened. And this is the way it was:
 
Curly was out in the yard in front of the piggy house one morning, raking up the leaves and thinking what fun he would have making a fire and roasting some ears of corn, when he heard his mamma calling:
 
"Oh, boys! Where are you?"
 
"Here I am," answered Curly as he jumped over a pile of leaves and fell into the middle of them. But it did not hurt him, as they were so nice and soft.
 
"And here I am, too!" exclaimed Flop, and the other little piggie boy, who was up in a hammock, swinging with one of the Katy Dids, jumped down and ran to the back kitchen door.
 
"What is it, mother?" called both the little piggie boys together.
 
"I want one of you to go to the store for me," she said, "I need some chocolate to put on top of a cake."
 
"Oh, I'll go!" exclaimed Floppy3 and Curly together, quickly, and you could not tell which one spoke4 first. But Mrs. Twistytail said:
 
"Well, I think I'll let Floppy go, and when he comes back I'll give you each some of the cake."
 
So off Flop ran to the store, squealing5 as hard as anything because he was so happy. At first Curly felt a little sad that he couldn't go to the store, for the man who kept it always gave the piggie boys a sweet cracker6 or something like that. But, of course, only one was needed to carry the chocolate.
 
"Never mind," said Curly's mamma to him. "You may go next time."
 
So then he felt better, and he was thinking what fun it would be to have a piece of chocolate cake, when all of a sudden he stopped to think.
 
"I guess I'll go to school again!" he exclaimed. "That will be fun.
