5-04 Mercy Watson Thinks Like a Pig

Chapter 4 On the other side of the house, Eugenia Lincoln planted her last pansy. " There, " said Eugenia. " It looks spectacular, doesn't it?" " It does, " said Baby. " I believe I will go around front and admire the overall effect, " said Eugenia. Eugenia Lincoln went around front.

But there was no overall effect to admire. " BABY! " screamed Eugenia. " Yes, Sister?" said Baby. " Where have all the flowers gone?" shouted Eugenia. " Oh, dear, " said Baby. " They were here just a minute ago. "

Mercy came around the corner. There was a spring in her step. There were pansy petals on her chin.

" PIG! " shouted Eugenia. " Pig, pig, pig! Eugenia Lincoln ran toward Mercy.

Mercy kicked up her heels. She ran away from Eugenia.
