Swine Love

SWINE LOVE Henry loved Penelope it was him that she adored but Henry grew quite restless she could see that he was bored. "Go take a break," she finally said "this farm is long and wide i know you've always dreamed to see what's on the other side" . Henry 's first encounter was Gabrielle the goose "want to have some fun,"she asked "go hog wild and hang loose?" "I'm going on a flight," she said, "come along and we'll glide high," "that won't work for me," said Henry, "pigs dont know how to fly." Daphne duck cruised on the water, calling for Henry to come in, "that wont work for me”, he snorted, "pigs don’t like to swim." Sadie the cranky pit bull, liked to be alone so Henry rightly decided to leave her on her own. The smart old owl flew overhead, to put Henry back on track, “Penelope needs you to come home its time that you went back." Henry agreed and knew the owl was powerful and wise for when he got back to Penelope he was in for a huge surprise. There were seven little piglets born playing, having fun, two daughters like Penelope and five were Henry’s sons . Henry is at home to stay he’s as happy as can be doing whatever pigs do with his barnyard family. P Liz Reilly
