When Billy Bobtail and his friends went inside the little house they
found it very comfortable.

"Hurrah! I shall sleep in the bed," said Billy Bobtail.

"Bow, wow, wow! I shall sleep under the bed," said the dog, "and guard
my master."

"Wee, wee!" said the pig, "I shall sleep in the oven where it is nice
and warm."

"Gobble, gobble, gobble!" "Cock-a-doodle-doo!"
"Cut-cut-cut-cut-ka-dat-cut!" cried the turkey, the rooster, and the
hen all together, "we shall roost high up on the mantelshelf."

"Baa!" said the goat, "I shall sleep on the front doorstone and keep
guard."

"Maa, maa! I shall sleep just inside the front door and help to keep
guard," said the sheep.

"Moo, moo, moo!" called the bull, "the wood shed is the place for me."

"Meow, meow, meow!" cried the cat, "I do not care about sleeping in the
night. I shall keep watch that no harm comes nigh."

They had a good night's rest. When morning came and Billy Bobtail saw
what a cozy house it was and that there was a fine garden too, he said,
"This is my fortune. I'm not going any farther to seek it!"
