"This Little Piggy" - the kind-hearted Ryder version

I was tickling Ryder's little feet the other night and we did the Little Piggy thing. Something I've done many times before, but he must've forgot or something because he was just thrilled, like it was the first time. You know how it goes:

"This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home.
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went wee-wee-wee, all the way home."

Well, Ryder didn't like that version. He was quite concerned about it, in fact. On the third run-through (because they're never satisfied with just one), he said, "No, mommy, this one NOT stay home. He's sad. He wants to go to market, too!" Okay, then. Got to the fourth little piggy and once again, Ryder's tender heart bled for the little piggy, "How comes he gots none? That little piggy is hungry, too!" This part is hilarious --- he grabbed the 'roast beef' piggy, turned it toward the next one, and made them 'talk' to each other: "Its okay, friend, you can have some of my roast beef.", "Okay friend pig, thank you!"

So here is our new, kind-hearted version:
"This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy came along.
This little piggy had roast beef,
And gave this little piggy some.
And this little piggy went wee-wee-wee all the way home."

What a sweet boy!
