The Fierce Little Woman and the Wicked Pirate, 2nd Edition
The fierce little woman lived in a house at the end of a jetty She knitted socks in blue and green wool to sell to sailors who had got their feet wet But when there were no ships at her jetty she was quite alone Sometimes the little woman walked up and down the jetty playing her bagpipes to the seagulls
Inside her house there was a trapdoor which opened to the sea below In summer the fierce little woman climbed down through the trapdoor to swim under the jetty
In winter she sat in her chair beside the fire with a fishing line down the hole At night she lay in bed and listened to the sea breathing in and out under her door
