Arthur McGregor lives on the little Scottish Island of Mull. And, Arthur McGregor has a very small farm. And, he has a pig, a cow, and a horse with 2 legs.

And, all Scottish horses have only two legs. This is because of the very steep mountains. Only two legged horses can climb Scottish mountains.

And, last year, Arthur McGregor took his pig and his cow and his two legged horse down to England. And, there they had a very fine time and lots of wonderful meals. On Monday, they had fish and chips, on Tuesday they had bangers and mash, and on Friday they had lunch with the Queen in Buckingham Palace.

And, on Saturday they went home to Scotland. Next year, they're going to France.
