Yes,I do.Quite clearly,actually.I was taking my usualmorning stroll and passed the house of my old pal,CurlyPig.I was admiring his house-it's quite well built,youknow-and thought I'd pay good old Curly a visit and tellhim just that-what a fine job he'd done in building thatplace of his.Anyway,I knocked on the door and calledout his name,but there was no answer.And so I knockedharder and called out louder,but still there was noanswer.And then I sat down on the front porch to wait.Ifigured Curly was probably out at the store or somethingand would be back in a minute.You see,I really did wantto see my old buddy,and I don't get into that neighborhood all that often.And then it hit me,Curly is areal sound sleeper and was probably just sleeping in lthought if I just left,he'd be sorry I hadn't woken him.SoI tried to think of a way I could get into the house towake him up.And I thought and I thought and finally itcame to me-I could climb down the chimney. And so did you? WOLF: ATTY FOR PIG: JUDGE: WOLF: ATTY FOR WOLF: JUDGE: ATTY FOR PIG: SMITH: ATTY FOR PIG: SMIT
