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.

Something stinky hides in the park. The sun is high and bright. The Girl sniffs the wind. She sniffs again, and again. She tracks the smell up the sunny path. In a green shrub, two small eyes peek at her. 'I see you in there,' she says. 'And I can smell you.'

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.

From the shrub steps the most stinky beast The Girl has ever seen. It is Pig! Pig is caked in thick mud from nose to tail. Green stink lines swirl up from Pig. 'A pig!' The Girl yells. 'A pig at the park! What a sight!' Pig does not look glad. But The Girl is glad for both of them.

Page 3
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.

The Girl runs on the hill with her arms wide. 'Run with me, Pig!' Pig gallops after her with a big, silly grin. Flies buzz high over them both. 'You are the best thing I ever met!' The Girl yells. 'Better than a fresh pie! Better than a snow day!'

Page 4
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.

The Girl runs to a big puddle. 'Pigs like mud. Jump in, Pig!' Pig jumps in with all four feet. Muddy water blasts up high. It soaks The Girl's dress. It soaks her boots. It soaks a butterfly. 'Pig,' she says, 'you are the best at being a pig.'

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 and sits on a high branch. 'Come up, Pig! You can see every hill from up high!' Pig sits at the bottom of the tree. Pig does not go up. Pig does not even try. Pig just gazes up with the most grumpy face The Girl has ever seen. 'Pigs do not like trees,' she says with a sigh.

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 slips off her boots and sticks them on Pig's feet. All four of them. Pig lifts its chin and lets out a big note. Not a grunt. A mighty blast of a note. The Girl closes her eyes, holds one hand up high, and sings along at the top of her lungs. It might be the oddest duet ever, and she likes every last bit of it.

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 sunlight sinks low. It is almost nightfall. The Girl looks at Pig. Pig looks at The Girl. Flies buzz by Pig in rings. 'You must come home with me, Pig,' she says. 'But we have to be sneaky. Mum will not like the smell.' The Girl creeps up the driveway and peeks in the door. All still.

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 up the hallway, step by step. Muddy tracks and prints trail after them like a map to a mess. 'Hush, Pig,' The Girl says. 'Not a squeak.' Pig lets out a slight squeak. The Girl keeps right on creeping.

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 leads Pig to Mum's dressing table. If Pig is going to live with her, Pig must look the part. The Girl slips on Mum's robe and a chain of beads. Then she holds up the bright red lipstick. 'Hold still, Pig.' Pig does not hold still. But The Girl gets lipstick on Pig. Mostly on its lips. Partly on the tile. Pig grins at itself in the glass like the star of the show.

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,' says Mum at the door, 'is that?' Mum fixes her gaze right on Pig. Pig drips mud on the rug. A fly lands on the lipstick. The Girl peeks in from the side, eyes wide with fright. 'It is my pig,' she says. 'I met it at the park. Can I keep it? Please? I will look after it forever and ever and. ' 'March that beast to the bathtub,' says Mum. 'Right this instant.'

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.

'You can keep it clean,' says Mum, hands on her hips. 'No more muck in my home.' They fill the bathtub with hot, soapy water. Pig gets in. The Girl gets in after it. Bubbles float up high as they scrub and splash. Layer by layer, the mud comes off. And The Girl spots something strange.

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.

Under all that mud is not a pig. It is a pug, with bright eyes and a tight, curly tail. The Girl blinks. The pug blinks back, and its tail wags in the suds. 'You are still the most stinky thing I ever met at the park,' The Girl says, and brushes its fur. The pug licks her nose. She is keeping it forever.
