Pip the pig had a bin. He put figs in his bin, one by one. Then Pip saw a big fig on the mat. It was a big, big fig! "I want that fig," said Pip. But the fig did not fit in the bin. Pip gave it a tip. He did not let it rip. "How can I win this big fig?" said Pip. Then Pip got it! He put a lid on the bin. He set the big fig on top. "It can not fit in, so it can sit on top!" said Pip. Pip did a little jig. He had his figs and his big fig. "I win!" said Pip.
