Pink and new

I am a piglet. I have just been born. So have my six brothers and sisters.

We squeak and squeal because we are wet and cold. Our legs are very wobbly.

This is me!

Mom lies down and snorts when it is time for us to drink her warm milk.

Sleepy pigletsI am two days old and my ears get bigger every day.

Sleepy pigletsI am two days old and my ears get bigger every day.

Sometimes a cold wind blows into our sty. We all snuggle together to keep warm.

My sister wants to play with me. But I am cozy here.

Trotting aroundToday we are two weeks old. We are trotting around the farmyard. Here comes the farmer. Let’s follow him to the gate.

Big pigs

We feed from the trough, just like the big pigs.

I am six weeks old. So are my brothers and sisters.

Big pigs

We feed from the trough, just like the big pigs.

Am I as big as Mom yet?

When I am sleepy, I make a soft nest out of straw.

No. Not quite.

Mud pies

We find tasty things to eat there. The mud is cool and wet.

I am six months old now and I am getting chubby. I like playing in the mud.

It is almost time for supper.
