Mercy Watson Something Wonky This Way Comes

Chapter 1 Mr. Watson and Mrs. Watson have a pig named Mercy. Mr. Watson, Mrs. Watson, and Mercy live together in a house at 54 Deckawoo Drive. One Saturday afternoon, Mr. Watson said to Mrs. Watson, " My darling, my dear, there's a movie at the Bijou called When Pigs Fly. ”

" When Pgs Fy! " said Mrs. Watson. " What an inspiring title. Mercy, did you hear?" Mercy did not hear. Mercy did not hear because Mercy was not listening. " It says here that the Bijou proudly serves real butter, " said Mr. Watson. * " Oh, my, " said Mrs. Watson, " real butter. " Mercy pricked up her ears. She was listening now. Mercy loved butter.

She particularly loved butter on hot toast. But she would take butter any way she could get it.

" Yes, " said Mr. Watson, " it says here that the Bijou proudly serves real butter on every Bottomless Bucket of popeorn. " " Bottomless?" said Mrs. Watson. " Bottomless, " said Mr. Watson, " which means 'all-you-can-eat. '" " All-you-can-eat! " said Mrs. Watson. " What a delightful concept! " Mercy thought that all-you-can-eat was a very delightful concept. " Let's go to the movies! " said Mr. Watson.

" Let's! " said Mrs. Watson " Oink! " said Mercy.
