Plucky, review and new episode...

He was starving, hoping for the smallest morsel to keep him alive,

barely escaped being banged on the head to put him out of his misery,

had 2 fine meals and a nice long sleep.

Then he woke up and felt a lot better.

He felt so good, that he thought about taking a little walk-about.

That brings us up to date.

Now today's episode...

Plucky was wandering around sniffing for little bits of nutrition.

He had his nose down, because that's the best way if you're looking for scraps.

Plucky's eyes were turned down, too. What he couldn't sniff, he hoped to see.

All of a sudden...

When Plucky came to he was back at the side of the road.

He was the victim of a hit and run driver.

Plucky sat up and thought about his life.

He thought pig thoughts and it went something like this,

"Oin-oink-oink, grunt-grunt-grunt."

Then he opened his mouth to actually say what he was feeling.

What a surprise.

Glorious operatic squeals emerged from his throat.

When Plucky wandered onto the road, he was a normal little pig.

After being hit by a car, his vocal cords were jarred loose and now he was an

operatic soprana.
