On the right side of the image, Fig Pig stands in a dark underground mine, holding a pickaxe raised enthusiastically in one hand and a small lantern in the other. Fig Pig has a determined, eager expression, looking ahead as if ready to start digging for coal. The scene is dimly lit with rocky, blocky stone walls and floor surrounding the character, giving the feel of a deep cave or mine shaft. The left side of the image is plain white background reserved for text.

Fig Pig stands in a dark mine. He has a pick and a wee lamp. 'I will dig deep in this mine,' he yells. 'I will get fine coal. I am brave!' And in he trots.

Fig Pig stands on the left side of the image inside an old underground mine, holding a pickaxe at his side and a small lantern, looking ahead with a curious, wide-eyed expression that conveys he feels small in this vast space. The mine is built with stone brick walls and wooden support beams, lit by warm glowing lanterns hanging from the ceiling, with minecart rails running along the ground and piles of gravel or ore scattered nearby. The right side of the image is open plain background for text overlay.

Fig Pig creeps in deep. The mine is vast and dim. Rusty rails run into the shade. 'They dug all this,' he gasps. 'It is a big maze!' He grips his lamp and marches on.

On the right side of the image, Fig Pig stands beside an open chest in a dimly lit underground cave or mine. Fig Pig has a hesitant, uncertain expression, looking down at the chest with one hand holding a sword at his side, appearing reluctant to take what's inside. The large orange-and-brown chest sits in the center-right of the scene, its lid propped open, while the rocky stone walls of the cave surround them in dark, earthy tones.

Fig Pig spots a chest. The lid is up. In the chest is a fine sharp blade. 'This is not a crime,' he tells the chest. 'I will just take this blade. It will keep me safe.'

On the left side of the image, Fig Pig stands small at the bottom-left corner, holding a sword close to his side, looking up with a cautious, wary expression. A massive, intricate spiderweb stretches across the left portion of the scene, filling much of the mine tunnel from floor to ceiling, with a large spider nestled within the web.  The spider is asleep. The setting is a dim, rocky mine interior with brown stone walls and a wooden-beamed ceiling, creating a dark and enclosed atmosphere. The right ~40% of the image is plain background, clear for text overlay.

Then Fig Pig stops. A big spider dozes in a thick sticky web! He grips his blade. He takes a step. Step, step, step. The spider dozes on. Quick, Fig Pig! He zips past the web.

On the right side of the image, Fig Pig carefully walks along a narrow wooden walkway with rail tracks that runs beside a steep drop-off, holding a sword at his side. Fig Pig has a terrified, tense expression, treading lightly with each cautious step. Below the walkway, a glowing column of lava is visible, casting warm orange light up into the dimly lit cavern. The dark underground mine shaft has wooden support beams and stone walls. The left side is left as plain background for text overlay.

The path is thin. Under the path is a hot red blaze. 'I am fine,' pants Fig Pig. But his legs shake as he steps. Do not look in the pit, Fig Pig! He looks. Big mistake.

On the left side of the image, Fig Pig is mid-stride, running away from a dark mine entrance with a panicked, squealing expression, gripping a glowing torch in one hand and a sword in the other. Behind him, a red 'BEWARE' sign is posted on wooden stakes beside the mine entrance, which is a dimly lit wooden mine shaft with flickering torches on the ceiling. The right side of the image is plain white background, clear for text overlay.

At last Fig Pig makes it outside. Sunshine! Then he spots a big red note by the mine. Run, Fig Pig, run! He races home. Zoom! Next time he will check the note at the start!
