But, because they had checks, all the Check-Belly Sneetches Would brag, “Were the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches.” 2/12

But, because they had checks, all the Check-Belly Sneetches Would brag, Were the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches. With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they'd snort We'll have nothing to do with the Plain-Belly sort!' And whenever they met some, when they were out walking, They'd hike right on past them without even talking. When the Check-Belly children went out to play ball, Could a Plain Belly get in the game...? Not at all. You only could play if your bellies had checks And the Plain-Belly children had none upon thars.
