Now these pigs weren't like the pigs, which perhaps you children have seen on most farms. No, indeed! They were just the nicest cleanest, sweetest pigs you ever dreamed of -- not that pigs on a farm can't be clean, if they want to, but, somehow or other, no one seems to have time to see that they are clean. I guess it would take someone like Jennie Chipmunk to sweep and dust their pen for them.
Anyhow the pigs I am going to tell you about were very different from most pigs, and they had some very funny adventures.
