Once upon a time there was a fat, little, black pig
called Piggy. He lived inside a high fence with other
pigs. All the other pigs like him because he was friendly
and lovable.
One morning the fence was left by the farmer's son.
Very quickly, Piggy went out. In the yard he saw a boy
painting a cart pink. With a brush, the old cart became
pretty pink cart. “How nice", thought Piggy, I'm tired
of being black. I want to be a pink pig.
When the boy left, Piggy circled, sniffed and pushed
the can of paint. Suddenly the paint spilled on him. Poor
Piggy. He did not like the smell of paint. But, Oh, he be-
came pink.
Piggy went home. The other pigs were afraid of him.
A pink pig! He must be a bad pig! They would not come
close to him. They did not eat or play with him.
Piggy was very sad. He began to cry. Changing my-t
color does not bring me happiness, he cried. Oh, what
have I done with myself?
Day's later, the paint faded and his black skin
Showed. The other pigs began playing and eating with
tu him. Piggy was happy once more.
