He was a curious little puppy, always poking his nose into things.
The five little puppies were very tired. 'We have had a long day,' said their mother. 'And now it is time for bed.'
He was a roly-poly puppy, all round and fat.
'I smell something!' said the Poky Little Puppy. And he started to dig a hole under the fence.
Down in the valley, the Poky Little Puppy dug a hole under the fence and ran away.
'I'm a curious puppy, and I want to see what is happening in the world,' said the Poky Little Puppy.
He was a happy puppy when he found something interesting to eat.
He liked to dig holes under the fence and run down the road to look for things to eat.
'Don't you ever, ever dig a hole under the fence!' said their mother. 'And don't go down the road!'
They have no manners at all, and they dig holes under fences. They run down the road and they chase things.
The Poky Little Puppy was too tired to run any more.
The Poky Little Puppy was sad. He felt lonely.
