Brad went to the pen to feed Pip the pig. Brad held a sweet plum in his hand. He wanted to see his pig munch on it. But Pip was not there. The gate was open, and Pip was gone.

"I need to find him," Brad said. Brad took three fast steps past the shed. He walked past a tall weed and looked around. Pip was a quick pig, and Brad had to run just to keep up with him. Brad heard a buzz and saw a fat bee, but he did not see Pip.

Brad went down the hill and into the deep grass. He stopped to peek past a big green tree. There, he spotted his lost pal! Pip was resting by a big rock. The sweet plum was still in Brad's hand. He ran to meet his pig. "I found you!" Brad said. He knelt down and fed Pip the plum. Pip munched it up fast. Brad gave him a big hug. He led Pip back up the green hill and kept him close. Brad shut the gate tight so Pip could not get free again. He felt glad to see his pig safe at last.
