A Pig Is Never Blamedby Babette Deutsch

A pig is never blamed in caseHe forgets to wash his face.

No dirty suds are on his soap,Because with soap he does not cope.

He never has to clean the tubAfter he has had a scrub,

For whatever mess he makes,A bath is what he never takes.

But then, what is a pool to him?Poor pig, he never learns to swim.And all the goodies he can cram

Down his gullet turn to ham.It’s mean:

Keeping clean.You hardly want to, till you’re very big.

But it’s worse to be a pig.

Making Inferences

Authors do not always tell everything so readers must make inferences to figure out the missing information or ideas.

When you make inferences, you use text clues along with what you already know about the topic.

Making an inference can help you determine what happened or how a character feels in a selection.
