1. Slide 1
Pig Goes to the Party
A Tale from Puerto Rico
What do you think it would be like to have a pet pig? What kinds of trouble might a pet pig get into?
Once there was a boy named Little Juan who lived with his mother. Little Juan was not always a sensible boy, as you will soon find out.
One day his mother was going to a party. “Little Juan,” she said, “you can come to the party with me, or you can stay home and take care of your pet pig. She is still quite young and has many needs.”
“I will stay home and take care of the pig, Mama,” said Little Juan.
But as soon as Juan’s mother left, the pig began to squeal. “Do you want to go to the party, too?” asked Little Juan.
“Oink! Oink!” squealed the pig.
So Little Juan took one of his mother’s dresses and put it on the pig! The dress was too long, so Juan ripped off the bottom part.

“Oink! Oink!” the pig squealed.
Little Juan said, “Now you need a scarf. Mama always wears a scarf when she goes to a party.” But Little Juan couldn’t find a scarf, so he cut up a hammock and tied it around the pig’s head.
“You look adorable,” Little Juan told the pig. “But I think you could look even better!”
So Little Juan put his mother’s shoes on the pig’s feet. Then he put earrings on the pig’s ears. He even sprayed some perfume on her!

“Now we’re ready to go. I will train you to walk on a leash,” said Little Juan. “That way I can keep you out of trouble!”
But the little pig had a different idea. With a happy squeal, she ran off.
The pig ran until she came to a big mud puddle. She decided to have a good time and roll in the mud! As the pig rolled around and around, she tore the dress. And off came her shoes, her earrings, and her scarf!
Meanwhile, Little Juan’s mother was walking home from the party. When she saw the pig rolling in the mud, she couldn’t believe her eyes. She grabbed the pig and pulled her all the way home.
When they arrived at the house, Little Juan’s mother was so upset that she could hardly speak!

Little Juan looked at his mother. Her dress was splattered with mud. Then he looked at his pet pig, whose torn dress was also covered with mud.
Little Juan smiled at his mother and said, “Mama, I didn’t know that you play in the mud at a party! It looks like you had a lot of fun! Next time, I would like to go to the party with you!”
His mother just shook her head and said, ”My dear Little Juan! What am I going to do with you?”
