In the town of Pigglywiggly every 

piglet was excited because today 

was the first day of school.

Today was Polly's first day of kindergarten. 

Polly is eager to get to school, to meet other 

pigs, and to take eat his first snack with his 

whole class. Polly ran all the way to school.   

Miss Piggy Elementary School

Polly approached the school. 

"Wow," Polly said," This is a big school with 

a lot of big kids."

Polly found her class and sat down with all her 

classmates. They all looked the same. And her 

teacher, Mrs. Hog, looked like them too. But 

Polly couldn't put her hoof on what made her 

look different than them?

During storytime one of the pigs 

whispered to Polly. His name was Pete. 

"You look funny," Pete hissed to Polly 

as his friends laughed. "Your spots are 

weird and ugly." 

Polly was crushed. She never had a 

problem with her spots before. She 

thought they were pretty.

"I think my spots are pretty," Polly said.

"Yeah, pretty weird," Pete retorted.

Polly's spirits fell. This was not a good first 

day of school. 

Polly waited in line for her snack patiently. She 

was very hungry and hoped that there would 

still be crackers left when it was her turn. 

Pete and his friends had been waiting behind 

Polly. Suddenly, they budged her in line. 

"Hey!" Polly exclaimed. "You guys have to wait 

your turn!"

"Pigs with ugly spots go to the back of the 

line," Pete said as he took the last of the 

crackers.  

"I think that my spots are pretty," Polly said. 

But she didn't sound as sure anymore.

Near the end of school Pete was chanting, 

"Polly has weird spots! Polly has weird spots!"

Polly was no longer hurt by this. She was just 

plain mad. 

"STOP IT!" Polly yelled. Pete immediately 

became quiet. 

"Why are you teasing me? Because I'm 

different than you? Well I like being me and I 

would rather be me than you because you are 

mean. My spots are what make me original 

and my spots are pretty."

All the pigs were quiet. 

"I'm sorry," Pete said."I was jealous of 

how you were different than all of us and 

I didn't want you to think you were 

special. I am ashamed about how I acted 

because I was wrong. You are special. We 

are all special. No matter what we look 

like we are all pigs."
