The year turned round and it was apple season again. But this year Fall was rainy just like summer. The apple harvest was sadly small. It was so small that the pigs ate it almost all in one day.
The family had a picnic in the backyard. Dozens of small children were running around, petting the pigs and throwing them apples. Arnold and Tillie barely knew where to look for the next apples. The kids threw in all the apples in the baskets, and all the apples on the ground, and they even shook the trees so that more apples fell down.
Arnold and Tillie had so much fun with the kids that day and ate so many apples that they could barely make it back up the hill. But still they didn’t want to go to sleep, hoping that some small child might still appear with just one more….apple.
