• "'He is still alive, so we can't tell whether the dream will come true,' said the bachelor unconcernedly, 'anyway, there were no sheep in the park, but there were lots of little pigs running all over the place." (Paragraph 17)

• "Bertha was rather sorry to find that there were no flowers in the park. She had promised her aunts, with tears in her eyes, that she would not pick any of the kind Prince's flowers, and she had meant to keep her promise, so of course ot made her feel silly to find there were no flowers to pick." (Paragraph 21)

• "'Because the pigs had eaten them all,' said the bachelor promptly. 'The gardeners had told the Prince that you couldn't have pigs and flowers, so he decided to have pigs and no flowers." (Paragraph 23)
