mule

A mule is an animal with long, funny ears; he kicks up at anything he hears. His back is brawny, but his brain is weak; he's just plain stupid, with a stubborn streak.

So if you hate to go to school, you may grow up to be a mule.

fish

An animal that swims in a brook. He can't write his name, or read a book. To fool the people is his only thought, and though he's slippery, he still gets caught.

If that sort of life is what you wish, you might grow up to be a fish.

pig

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face; his shoes are a terrible disgrace. He's got no manners when he eats his food; he's fat, and lazy and extremely rude.

Still, if you don't care a feather or a fig, you may grow up to be a pig.
