Little Pig Shows Off

Little Pig is strong and big. He plays tug-of-war with his friends. He wins every time.

Monkey wants to paddle the boats. He asks his friends to come, too.

“I will not paddle the boat with you,” Little Pig says. “I am stronger and better,” he brags.

Rabbit and Mouse pair up. They go in the same boat.

Little Pig smiles. He gets in a boat alone.

Little Pig paddles quickly. He paddles, paddles, paddles past his friends’ boats. He laughs at his friends. “See, I paddle better than you,” Little Pig brags.

“Little Pig! You are so far away," Monkey says.

Rabbit, Monkey, Mouse, and Dog reach the shore. They help each other out of the boats. Little Pig is not there.

“Boo-hoo-hoo!” Little Pig cries. “Help me! I am tired. I cannot paddle back to shore.”

Little Pig’s friends hear his cries. “Boo-hoo-hoo!” Little Pig says, “Help me!“I want to go home!”

Rabbit, Monkey, and Dog get in a boat. They paddle to Little Pig. They paddle his boat back to the shore. Little Pig is very happy.

Now Little Pig plays with his friends. He does not brag anymore.
