Chapter Five
At the puddle, Pineapple was shuddering with distaste at sticking her leaf in something so disgusting as a mud puddle. Porky, however, was trotting around in the puddle, and kicking up her feet, splashing, and squealing with joy. Pineapple wrinkled up her nose. "Porky, this is disgusting!"
Porky bounded up to Pineapple, splashing her. "That's because you're not all of the way in yet, Pineapple, come on!" And with that, she pushed Pineapple into the mud with a splat.
Pineapple spluttered to the surface and gasped. "Porky, when I get a hold of you, I will kill you!" She threatened angrily.
Porky laughed. She knew Pineapple wouldn't really kill her.or would she? Porky carefully edged away from Pineapple. Then she came back. "Oh come on Pineapple, it's lots of fun, and we'll get to wash off soon, I promise. Watch this!" And with that she rolled over onto her back and kicked her feet up in the air.
She was sending waves toward Pineapple who was in the shallowest area she could get to. Finally Pineapple decided she should just get it over with. She was already soaking wet anyways. So she flopped over on her back, splashing Porky in the face, and rolled back and forth, her eyes squeezed tight as they would go. Finally she relaxed. This was kinda.fun. The mud was scratching her back, and it really did feel good to her hurt leaf. Plus it was just fun to do something that possibly no respectable pineapple had ever done before.
After a few minutes, Porky rolled over to face Pineapple. "Now wasn't that fun?" She asked.
Pineapple reluctantly nodded. "Yeah ok, it was fun. Now when are we going to wash off?"
"Right now! Let's go!"
Pineapple was curious as to where Porky planned on washing off. So she followed Porky across the farmyard, dripping mud everywhere, and groaned when she saw Porky's 'clean water.' It was literally Porky's clean water- her clean drinking water. "Porky! We aren't really going to bathe in your water are we?"
Porky already had a hoof in. "Of course we are? Why not?"
Pineapple folded her leaves. "Oh only because you're supposed to be drinking it?"
Porky laughed. "Oh don't worry, they change my water every morning and every night. The doofy humans always think that it's strange that my water is always muddy, but oh well. " She shrugged. She climbed in the water trough and sank into the cool, clear, fresh water and sighed happily as the mud was washed from her body. Pineapple sighed. 'Why me?' She thought. She closed her eyes and hopped into the water trough. Amazingly it felt absolutely wonderful. Her leaf didn't hurt a bit anymore and she relaxed. She and Porky splashed around for a bit, before climbing out to lie in the grass to dry, and to sunbathe. The two were soon asleep as the sun shone down on them.
