Oh, you might wonder how to distinguish Pick and Pocket? One has red trousers with yellow spots, the other red trousers with yellow stripes. But which is which? That we will never really be sure of because they often swap trousers. So sometimes Pick has spotty trousers and sometimes stripey. And Pocket stripey trousers and sometimes spotty ones. Funny piggy thieves!
