THE PIG THAT LOST HIS OINK
BY
JANICE D ENGLE COPYRIGHT 1992
Elmer pig was slopping around in his mud puddle.
Oink. Oink...;he said as he rolled around. Farmer John emptied a bucket of slop over the pen. Now Elmer pig , was a very greedy pig.
He was also more rounded than the other pigs. This was because he ate up most of the slop. This day , Elmer ran quickly to the slop , then pigged out , not leaving anything for the others.
Suddenly his face started turning green and his oink went out. He began to choke , and roll on the ground. Gomer pig gave him a sharp wacky on the back .
suddenly , a corncob came flying out of his mouth. The nice pink color came back in his face and he could breath again.
that's what happens when greedy little pigs eat it all !quit; said another pig.
Elmer pig, felt bad He didn't like being called names
;Thanks, for saving my life,; he said as he turned to Gamer pig.
;Oh, that's ok,;he said happily.
All the other pigs started to oink , but Elmer pig , couldn't get out a sound at all. No oink came , no matter how hard he tried.
;I’ve lost my oink ! he cried. All the others came over to see where his oink had gone.
That's what you get !said a pig.
Oh, stop that! Elmer cried. I must find my oink !
They all looked around for Elmer’s oink. Nobody could find it!
I'll never be greedy again ! Elmer said as he walked off alone.
Poor Elmer pig; they all said. He'll never be the same again.
Days passed by and no one saw Elmer pig. He had run away, they all thought. Then suddenly there was a loud inking in the barn.
Oink! oink! oink! it went. And they all ran to see where it was.
Why , it's Elmer pig; they all yelled.; and he's found his oink!;
here was your oink?; they asked.
;It was sick ! I found it just now , as I started to feel hungry.;
Everyone was glad to have Elmer back, and he never ever pigged out again
