## Summary

Giggles and Cuddles must rescue the three little piggies, who escaped from their pig pen, before Lifty swipes their special gifts: blue ribbons!

## Plot

Giggles and Cuddles visit a farm, where they wanted to meet the three little piggies. The pigs were affectionate Giggles and Cuddles, with the latter naming the smallest pig "Oinky." Giggles and Cuddles then check Purse for a very special gift to give the piggies: blue ribbons for each of them. Giggles and Cuddles stop Lifty from swiping the blue ribbons, but the gate gets left open, causing the pigs to flee. Giggles and Cuddles check the Map to see where the pigs are going. He tells them that one little pig went to the haystacks; one little pig went to the barn; and Oinky went "Wee-wee-wee-wee!" all the way to the apple tree. Giggles and Cuddles went searching for the three little pigs. They listen to find the first little pig. After they found her, Cuddles tries to carry her, but she was too heavy, so he and Giggles put her in a wagon. Then, it rolls on its own, down the hill, prompting Giggles and Cuddles to shout "abre!" to Nutty, causing him to quickly push the gate open. Then, Giggles and Cuddles continued on their quest to find the second pig, who was somewhere in the barn. They had to play a listening game to find her. They heard a "moo" behind the tractor, an "oink-oink" behind the barrels, a "baa" behind the haystack, and a "quack-quack-quack" behind the trough. Cuddles thought the second pig was behind the haystack but he was wrong, it was actually the sheep. The viewer tells Giggles and Cuddles that the second pig was behind the barrels. Sure enough, the second pig was found. So far, Giggles and Cuddles found the first pig in the array of haystacks and the second pig in the barn. All they have to do now is find third pig named Oinky who went "wee-wee-wee-wee" all the way to the apple tree. En route to the apple tree, Giggles and Cuddles could not get the wagon out of the mud, so the viewer at home helps the wagon get pulled out of the mud. They arrive at the apple tree, where Oinky was sitting on a branch eating apples and tossing them to the ground. The branch was about to break. After Giggles gets a net from Purse, she hurries over to the apple tree and catches him. After stopping Lifty once again, Giggles and Cuddles take the three little pigs back home to their pig pen.

## Trivia

* This is the 2nd episode where Giggles and Cuddles stopped Lifty twice.
* This is one of few episodes in which Giggles and Cuddles sing the places to go in the Travel Song at warp speed.
* This is the 8th episode of the show.
* Even though Giggles and Cuddles sometimes lose at Lifty whenever he swipes things from them, he’s always saying "you're too late" to them but when Giggles and Cuddles are singing We Did It!, they mention him saying he's is the one that is too late to swipe the ribbons, so they are technically stealing his catchphrase and saying he's too late trying to swipe the pigs' blue ribbons.
* This is the only episode written by Carin Greenberg Baker.
* When Giggles asks the viewer what his or her favorite part was, she does not say "What was your favorite part of the trip?", she instead says "What was your favorite part of the day?". This happens again in The Golden Explorers.

* The Fiesta Trio did not play their fanfare after finding the second pig at the barn.
* This is the first episode in which Giggles and Cuddles have the same favorite parts.
* This episode aired on Labor Day 2000.

"Journey to the Purple Planet", "The Pirate Adventure", "Cuddles' Cuddly Dinosaur", "The Fairytale Adventure", "Star Mountain", "Super Babies", "A Crown for King Juan el Bobo", "The World Adventure!", and some other later episodes.
