{by imitating the cries} {of various animals}.  He finished off {by squeaking}

so {like a pig} that the spectators thought that he had a porker concealed (about

him}. But a Countryman who stood by said: "Call that a pig s squeak!  Nothing

{like it}. You give me {till tomorrow} and I will show you what it's like."  The 

audience laughed, but next day, sure enough, the Countryman appeared {on 

the stage}, and putting his head down squealed so hideously that the spectators 

hissed and threw stones {at him} to make him stop.  "You fools!" he cried, 

"see what you have been hissing," and held up a little pig whose ear he had 

been pinching to make him utter the squeals.

     Men often applaud an imitation and hiss the real thing.
