This little pig went to market
/ˌðɪs lɪtl ˌpɪɡ went tə ˈmɑːkɪt/
/ˌðɪs lɪtl ˌpɪɡ went tə ˈmɑːrkɪt/
- the first line of a traditional nursery rhyme which parents say to small children when counting their toes to amuse them. Each 'pig' is a toe, starting with the biggest. The full rhyme is: “This little pig went to market,This little pig stayed at home,This little pig had roast beef,This little pig had none,And this little pig cried, Wee-wee-wee-wee-wee,I can't find my way home.”
