Nanny Piggins And the Rival Ringmaster
“Nanny Piggins and the children were playing Tarzan. They had been unable to decide who was going to be Tarzan and who would be Jane, because none of them wanted to be Jane. It was boring to be constantly spraining your ankle and falling in quicksand so, as a compromise, they decided they would all be Tarzan.
At first their game was inhibited by the fact that there was no jungle and, therefore, no jungle vines in Mr Green’s front yard. But Nanny Piggins soon fixed that by borrowing all Mr Gr...een’s silk ties (again), stringing them together and hanging them from the trees. The silk was a little slippery, but Nanny Piggins found that dipping them in some good gritty mud and letting it dry solved that.
Obviously there were no evil oil magnates or chimpanzee poachers on their street, but Nanny Piggins and the children still found plenty to do. They terrified a salesman from the telephone company and they caught the Avon lady in their elephant trap (a large pit Nanny Piggins dug on the nature strip, then covered in palm leaves).MoreLess
