This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none,
And this little piggy went,
“Wee, wee, wee!” all the way home.

這隻小豬去市場,

這隻小豬什麼都沒得吃。
這隻小豬一路「嗚嗚嗚」地
哭著跑回家。

This Little Piggy 是一首非常經典的英文童謠,通常會搭配「手指或腳趾遊戲」一起進行。
大人在唸歌詞時,會依序輕碰或輕捏小孩的腳趾或手指:
拇趾:去市場的小豬 (went to market)
食趾:留在家裡的小豬 (stayed home)
中趾:吃烤牛肉的小豬 (had roast beef)
無名趾:什麼都沒得吃的小豬 (had none)
小趾:最後一隻小豬一邊「wee, wee, wee!」地哭,一邊跑回家
通常唸到最後一句時,大人會搭配「搔癢腳底」或「手指往上爬」的動作,引發孩子大笑。
