What's the matter?

said the pig.

The fairy raised her head and saw the pig's ugly pink snout poking in between the bramble twigs.

I think I can help you out, he said, when she had told him her trouble.

I'm not much to look at, but I've got a good tough hide, and at any rate I shan't be afraid of a few scratches spoiling my beauty.

So with a good many snuffles and grunts, he pushed his head and shoulders well into the middle of the bush and made a clear way for the fairy to get out.

She gave a sigh of relief when she found herself once more free and in the clear sunshine, and the pig stood looking at her admiringly, for she was a dear little thing.

He was so conscious of his ugliness beside her pretty grace that he turned away and started off down the orchard.

Don't go, oh don't go, said the fairy.

The pig turned round.

You've not had your reward, said the fairy.

I don't want any reward, thank you, granted the pig, and moved on.

But the fairy persisted.

She flew after him.

You must have a reward, she said.

I shall be most unhappy if you don't.

But I don't want anything, thank you, said the pig.

I have been very glad to help you.

The fairy stood in front of him anxiously pondering as to what she could possibly give him that might be of any use.

Nobody seemed to want her fairy gifts.
