Wild Pig is scandalised when a pink domestic pig comes into 'his' forest. It eats his acorns, gets to know his friends and sleeps under his favourite tree. He thinks it looks very odd - all pink and fat and hairless! Soon Wild Pig has had enough andhe chases the pink pig away into a swampy mud patch. But how odd - as the two pigs tussle in the mud, Wild Pig realises that having another pig in the forest, however different it looks, is good fun after all.
