Page 1
On the right side of the image, The Girl stands on a sandy park path on a sunny day, leaning slightly forward with a curious, determined expression as if sniffing the air to track down a smell. A large pale purple circle and a warm yellow sun shape frame her in the background, with wispy clouds scattered across the sky. To the left, a scruffy green bush with wavy stink lines rising from it sits at ground level, with small eyes peeking out from within it — hinting at the source of the stinky smell.

A bird chirps in the park. The Girl sniffs and sniffs. What is that smell? A thing lurks in the green shrub. She can see it peek out at her.

On the left side of the image, The Girl stands on a dry, grassy patch of ground, looking toward Pig with a wide-eyed, amazed expression, her arms held slightly out from her sides. To her right (but still in the left-centre area), Pig stands on all fours, completely covered in thick mud and dirt, with green stink lines rising from its body and a grumpy, wide-eyed expression peeking out from beneath the muck. The scene is outdoors on a sunny day with a large yellow sun in the upper-left corner, a pale blue sky with a few white clouds, and some scraggly bushes nearby.

Out it bursts! It is a pig! The pig is stinky and muddy. Its fur is thick with dirt. 'A pig!' yells The Girl. 'A real pig at the park!'

On the right side of the image, The Girl is running joyfully down a sandy hill with her arms spread wide, smiling broadly. In the centre-right, Pig chases after her down the slope, with a goofy grin and stink lines rising from its shaggy body. Small green flies buzz around them both. The scene is set outdoors on a sunny day with a bright yellow sun and white clouds in a blue sky, with green bushes at the base of the hill.

'Come on, Pig!' The Girl runs down the hill. Pig runs after her with a big goofy grin. Flies swirl and buzz all around them.

On the left side of the image, The Girl is mid-stride, leaning forward with one arm outstretched and a delighted, open-mouthed smile, wearing a new dress and boots that are getting splattered with muddy water. Pig is mostly obscured by an enormous splash of muddy brown water erupting from the puddle in the centre-left of the scene — it has clearly just jumped in with great enthusiasm. The outdoor setting features a bright sun, green bushes, and a dirt path. Muddy water sprays everywhere like a cloudburst.

'Pigs like mud. Go on, Pig!' Pig jumps in the mud pool. Sploosh! Mud spurts up high. The Girl gets wet and dirty, but she just grins.

Page 5
On the right side of the image, a large tree dominates the scene with The Girl sitting on a high branch, visible with a dreamy, content expression as she gazes out at the hillside stretching below her like artwork, wearing her mud-splattered dress. Pig sits at the base of the tree on the ground, looking up with a grumpy, unamused expression, waiting reluctantly. Green leaves drift down from the branches above. The scene is outdoors on a sunny day with a bright yellow sun in the upper left, sandy ground, and green bushes scattered around.

The Girl goes up a big tree. 'Come up, Pig!' But Pig will not go up. Pig sits in the dirt with a grumpy look.

Page 6
On the left side of the image, The Girl is sitting on the ground with her eyes closed and mouth wide open, singing joyfully with one hand raised in the air, wearing her mud-splattered dress and now barefoot. Beside her, Pig stands with The Girl's boots on its four feet, mouth open making a funny foghorn-like sound, with stink lines and musical notes floating above both of them. Butterflies and leaves swirl around them in the air. The scene is set outdoors on a sunny day in a flat, grassy area with a bright yellow sun in the sky, and wispy clouds. The right side of the image is open background with minimal detail.

The Girl puts her boots on Pig's feet. Pig burps a big, loud burp! The Girl sings with joy. What a fun song it is.

Page 7
On the right side of the image, The Girl stands near the front door of a suburban house with a brick facade, peering cautiously toward the door with a sneaky, determined expression, one hand reaching toward the doorway as she checks if the coast is clear, wearing her mud-splattered dress and barefoot. Pig stands just behind and to the left of her, still wearing boots on its feet, covered in mud and surrounded by green stink lines and buzzing flies, looking grubby and mischievous. A large orange setting sun dominates the background, with pink sky and white clouds, conveying late afternoon light. Through the partially open front door, the interior of the house is visible.

The sun sets. The Girl turns to Pig. 'Come home with me, Pig,' she says low. 'But hush. We must be sneaky.' She steps up to the way in and peeks. No Mum!

Page 8
On the left side of the image, The Girl is tiptoeing carefully with a nervous, worried expression, her arms slightly outstretched for balance as she creeps along, wearing her mud-splattered dress and barefoot. Pig walks beside her on all fours wearing boots, looking wide-eyed and anxious, covered in mud and leaves with flies buzzing around both of them. Muddy footprints and boot prints trail behind them against a white background, suggesting they are sneaking through an indoor hallway while leaving a messy trail. The right side of the image is open white space.

They creep down the hall. Hush, hush! Drip, drop! Dirt falls. Muddy footprints trail after them, but The Girl creeps on.

Page 9
On the right side of the image, The Girl stands in front of a vanity/dressing table, grinning widely with hair curlers in her dark reddish-brown hair, holding up a tube of red lipstick in one raised hand. She wears a blue chunky bead necklace and a long pink robe splotched with mud patches over a light blue dress, with bare feet. Pig stands on the floor to her left (centre of the image), facing forward with a comically exaggerated grin — it has red lipstick smeared all around its mouth, wavy stink lines rising from its shaggy fur, still wearing purple boots on its feet, with muddy footprints and scattered green leaves on the cream floor around it. The scene is set indoors in a bedroom, with a mirror and perfume bottles visible on the white dressing table behind The Girl. In the mirror, The Girl's grinning face is reflected back, with red lipstick smeared on her cheeks and her curler-filled hair.

The Girl sticks curlers in her curly hair. Then she puts red lip paint on Pig. Pig smirks at itself in the glass. What a mess they are!

Page 10
On the left side of the image, Mum stands tall in the doorway, pointing down angrily at Pig with an outstretched finger, her expression stern and authoritative. She has light peach skin, shoulder-length curly black hair, small black dot eyes, and wears a plain pink A-line dress with thin black-line arms and mitten-like hands. Pig stands in the centre-left area, looking guilty and nervous with wide eyes and a grimacing expression, covered in dirt and grime with flies buzzing around and stink lines rising from its body, red lipstick still smeared around its mouth, wearing boots on its feet, leaving muddy puddles on the floor. The Girl peeks into the scene from behind Mum or from the edge of the frame, looking worried, with hair curlers and blue eyeshadow still on, wearing her mud-splattered dress. The scene is set indoors on a bright yellow floor.

'What is that?' says Mum. Pig drips mud and dirt. 'It is my pig,' says The Girl. 'Can I keep it?' 'No dirt in my house!' says Mum. 'To the bath. Now!'

Page 11
On the right side of the image, The Girl and Pig are sitting together in a blue-grey bathtub filled with bubbly, soapy water, set against a faintly tiled bathroom wall, while the left half of the image is empty cream-coloured background. The Girl is smiling happily with her eyes closed, her shoulder-length dark brown hair topped with a pile of white foam and a few hair curlers still nestled in it, the collar of her pink top just visible above the bubbles, clearly enjoying bath time. Pig, with light brown skin, is peeking out from under a mound of white bubbles next to her on the right, with wide eyes and a slightly nervous expression, one trotter resting on the tub's rim as foam and water drip over the edge, and a few wavy green stink lines rise above his sudsy head. Soap bubbles float through the air around them, and a small puddle of water has formed on the green-tinged floor below the tub.

They fill the tub with suds. The Girl scrubs Pig's fur. They stir and splash and scrub. Layer by layer, the mud swirls off.

Page 12
On the left side of the image, The Girl and the Pug are sitting together in a white bathtub filled with sudsy water and bubbles. The Girl is smiling warmly and scrubbing the Pug's head with a pink hairbrush, while the Pug — now revealed from under all the mud — sits in the foam looking content with a slight grin, showing its small wrinkly face. Bubbles float up into the air above them. The scene is set indoors in a bathroom with light green tiled walls, and water is splashing over the edge of the tub onto the green floor, forming a small puddle.

It is not a pig. It is a pug! It has soft fur and a curly tail. The pug licks her chin. 'I will keep it forever,' says The Girl.
