Billy Pig and the Red Coat in the Pasture

Billy Pig defies his mother by swapping coats and entering a pasture with cows. A chase follows as the cows notice him and he is knocked into a muddy puddle by a wall, then retreat determines his bravado. He returns home, claims a tainted lesson for Billy Goat, but is exposed when Goat mocks him and Piggie Brown scorns his tale. The story ends with Billy Pig punished and his red coat spoiled.
