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.
