The Owl and the Pussy-cat are good friends . One day they go to sea in a beautiful pea -green boat .
They take some honey with them . They take a lot of money too . The money is in a five -pound note .
At night the Owl looks up at the stars . He plays a small guitar , and he sings a song to the Pussy-cat .
"Oh lovely Pussy, oh Pussy, my love ," he sings . "What a beautiful Pussy you are ! You are , you are ! What a beautiful Pussy you are !"
The Pussy-cat is very happy . "Oh , Owl, you are so handsome ," she says . "And you sing so sweetly ! Let 's get married . We can wait no more . But what can we do for a ring ? We have no ring ."
So they sail away . They sail for a year and a day . At last they come to the land where the Bong-tree grows .
In a wood there stands a little pig . And on the end of his nose , there is a ring . A ring on the end of his nose , his nose , his nose !
