== The Story of Wilbur the Warthog and His New Present ==
Wilbur the Warthog was in a bad mood. It was summer and the sunshine was blazing hot. All the other animals were playing in the sand. "Come and play, Wilbur!" They called. "No." Wilbur grunted. "I'm in a bad mood!" Wilbur was in a bad mood because the sun was too bright and it made him screw up his eyes, but most of all, Wilbur was in a bad mood because he couldn't do his favorite thing, which was getting muddy. You see, it hadn't rained for a long time so all the dirt was just dusty and a warthog getting dusty was not as much fun as a warthog getting muddy!  The other animals were worried about Wilbur's bad mood.  "How can we cheer him up?" Asked the Gazelle. "I know!" Shrieked the Monkey. "We'll get him a present. Presents always cheer you up." Later that day, they called to Wilbur. "Come and play, Wilbur!" "No!" Grunted Wilbur. "I'm in a bad mood!" "But we got you a present to cheer you up." "A present?" Said Wilbur. "For me?" "Yes!" They all shouted. So Wilbur got up and trotted over to his friends and what do you suppose he found? A paddling pool, full of mud! "A paddling pool full of mud!" Cried Wilbur. "Oh, the best present ever!" Wilbur jumped into the muddy pool and splashed about to his dirty heart's content. "Look at me, I'mnot grumpy anymore! I'm having fun with my new present!
