Pig Leads the Way!

Author: Irajendran Sevugan

Illustrator: Isuri Dayaratne

Translator: Alisha Berger

Babu Kutty the Farmer is not back yet.

The animals are getting very hungry!

The pig holds a meeting.

“Let’s go in the barn and feed ourselves!” she says.

All the animals agree.

The animals follow

the pig into the barn.

Inside, the pig spots a little pool of mud and jumps in.

She takes a nice bath.

“Kukadoo-koo!” the rooster crows, running around excitedly.

He bumps into heaps of garbage and scatters them all over the place.

“Mmmmm!” moos the cow, hungrily munching at the slop bucket.

The goat climbs up the hayloft.

Baaa! Baaa!

He slips and falls...

SPLAT!

Then the basket topples over with a loud THAKAAAPPP!

Babu Kutty comes running.

“What is all that noise?” he wonders.

Babu Kutty steps into the barn.

He slips on food scraps and falls to the ground!

“What’s happening here?”

Babu Kutty takes all the animals back outside. Then he feeds them.

“Wait..." he wonders.

"Where is the duck?”

“Ufff… Here you are!”
