"Hey guys! Come and look at this." calls out Bella Piggyfriend. " We have a postcard all the way from Bermuda."
"It is from the Piggyville Plushies, who are there on holiday. What's that, Rafael? No. I don't know where Bermuda is, but I think it is further away than Brighton. Please do not chew the edges, Rafael. We all know what happens to your name cards. Look where you have eaten the "R" from your own name!"
Meanwhile, back in Bermuda, the Plushies are having to stay indoors as there is a huge storm raging outside. They managed to send a photo to Shannon and Ceilidh back home in N.C. before they all decamped to the basement to wait it out.
"We thought that we were having bad weather," says Bella when the Piggyfriends receive the photo, "but that looks really nasty. I hope that it doesn't spoil the rest of their trip."
As Pinky and Brownie cannot go out today to take more photos, they have sent Bella a text, which she is going to read out to the Piggyfriends....
"Hello Bella. We wanted to tell you that we have been to Bermuda before. Eighteen years ago, when Mom and Dad were married here, their Best Man and Maid of Honour gave us plush piggies to them as little wedding gifts. We have stayed with them ever since, so we would like the Piggyfriends, together with the Piggyville Girls back home, to join us in saying a big piggy hello to James and Donna, who might be reading this story."
"Ready, guys and girlies," says Bella. " All together now....HELLO JAMES and DONNA!!!"
" Aaah!" says Bella. "Aaah!" chorus all the Piggyfriends.
The Prairie Pigs have been following this series with great anticipation. What a sweet tale --- we were glad to hear the "origin story" of the Plushies, too. They are intrepid little explorers!
ReplyDeleteHow nice that the Piggyfriends got such a lovely postcard, and what a great story about Pinky and Brownie! P.S. We love clouds, but those look very formidable.
