5-02 Mercy Watson Thinks Like a Pig

Chapter 2 Next door to the Watsons, Baby Lincoln and Eugenia Lincoln were standing in their front yard. " Baby, " said Eugenia, " we live next door to a pig. "

" Yes, Sister, " said Baby, " we do. " " But that does not stop us from living a gracious life, " said Eugenia. " It doesn't?" said Baby.

Eugenia handed Baby a shovel. " What's this for?" said Baby. " We are going to beautify our yard, " Eugenia said. " We are going to plant pansies. You, Baby, will dig. And I, Eugenia, will plant. " " Yes, Sister, " said Baby. " We will lead a gracious life even if it kills us, " said Eugenia Lincoln. " Yes, Sister. " Baby sighed. She began to dig.
