Muddy Fun in the Sun
Wiggles: Look at the warm sun today! The farm is bright and hot.
Cookie: The sun is hot, but look down here! A big brown mud puddle!
Piggy Pop: Splish! Splash! Mud is cool and soft.
Snarf: (snorts) Oink! Oink! I love mud on a sunny day!
Wiggles: (wiggles tail) Watch me jump in! One, two, three, plop!
Cookie: You made a big splash, Wiggles! Now my snout has mud on it.
Piggy Pop: Mud is good for pig skin. It keeps us cool in the hot sun.
Snarf: (taps foot) My turn! I am going to slide on my tummy!
Wiggles: Whee! Look at Snarf slide! You look like a muddy brown rocket!
Cookie: Let us all roll around! Left side, right side, back and tummy!
Piggy Pop: Pop! Pop! Pop! I like to pop mud bubbles with my snout.
Snarf: (laughs) Piggy Pop, you have mud on your ears!
Wiggles: We all have mud on our ears! We are four messy, happy pigs.
Cookie: The mud feels squishy between my toes.
Piggy Pop: I think this is the best mud puddle on the whole farm.
Snarf: (yawns) Playing in the mud makes me tired.
Wiggles: Me too. Let us lie down in the cool mud under the shade.
Cookie: Good idea, Wiggles. Mud makes the best muddy bed.
Piggy Pop: Soft, cool, and squishy!
Snarf: Oink! Goodnight, muddy friends!
