Pip in the Mud

Pip the pig was in his pen. He did not like his pen. Pip ran to the top of a log. He saw mud. "I can run in mud!" said Pip. He ran and ran. His legs got wet. Pip fell in the mud. A red bug sat on a cup. The bug said, "You are in the mud, Pip!" Pip sat. A big dog ran up. The dog had a net. "I can help," said the dog. He put the net on the log. Pip got on the net and ran to the top. Pip was not in the mud now. He sat on the log with the dog. The red bug sat on his cup. It was a fun day.
