Counting Pigs

  One of the farmers in an English village had twelve pigs. One day the farmer sent his little son Tommy to count the pigs.

  At last Tommy came back.
  "Well," said his father, "have you counted the pigs? Are they all there?"
  "Oh, father, I counted only eleven," answered Tommy. "One little pig ran away so fast that I could not count it."
