Francy
the Exercising Pig
by Lily Erlic
EXCERPT
Francy is a pig that lives on a farm. All she does is eat
from her trough all day.
“I need to get out of my pen and start exercising!”
said Francy one day; “I'm tired of slurping on corn
and grits.”
So Francy pushed the gate open with her snout. She trotted
over to the duck pond…. and toppled into a mud puddle!
Francy happily rolled in the mud until she was covered completely
by the mud soup. Francy looked like a Chocolate Log.
Moss the cat, said, 'Take a hold of my paw. I'll pull you
out!”
“Quack,” said Mrs. Duck, “I see you have
escaped from your pen.”
”Yes, I left to see the rest of the farm,” said
Francy.
”Quack, go over to visit the horse's in the stable,”
whispered Mrs. Duck. “I'm certain they would find your
appearance quite interesting.”
Mrs. Duck winked. Mrs. Goose giggled. She giggled so much
that she fell back into a mud puddle. She looked like a chocolate-covered
drumstick. |
