Ah, the grass is always greener on the other side or so thinks Little Runt who can't sleep in a bed crowded with very active sleepers. When he finally roots everyone out of the family sty he discovers that he is lonesome and cold and gets everyone to crawl back into 'bed." Children will laugh hysterically at the antics of the colorful pigs as you read this during your next story-time!
