It’s a beautiful day After days of rain

the sun finally warms the air again

The kids meet at the local park

“Let’s go to the playground” calls Kitty

“Race you there” shouts Oops

full of excitement

The ground shakes as he lifts up his big legs and stomps quickly towards her

2

“Watch out!” warns Oink

“there’s a puddle”

But it’s too late

Muddy water splashes all over Kitty

Oops stops in his tracks,

“Oops!”

“I’m so sorry Kitty” he whispers sadly

“I didn’t mean to splash you”

3

Oink and Hooter go on ahead

while Oops waits for Kitty to dry off

When they reach the playground, Hooter is

waiting on the bright red seesaw

“Can you please play with me?”

he asks

Oops can’t wait “Hang on, Hooter I’ll play with you I love seesaws.”

4

With one big leap Oops lands on the seesaw

Hooter’s side shoots up and sends him

tumbling into the air

“Oopsie!”

“Good that you can fly already”

sighs Oops relieved

5

“I don’t think the playground works for me”

thinks Oops sadly

He walks slowly into the sandpit

“Who would want to play with me?”

“Hey Oops!”

calls Blossom the fox from the hill next to the sandpit

“Let’s play ball!”

6

“Kick it to me!” yells Oops

But as he turns around to kick the ball,

his tail smashes into little Bunbun’s

beautiful sandcastle

“Oops!”

“Please don’t cry little Bunbun”

begs Oops

“I didn’t do it on purpose.”

7

“Oiiink!” squeals Oink as the ball

knocks over his cup of water

“Please watch where you’re kicking the ball,

Oops! Now I have to get a new drink.”

Oops watches helplessly at the mess his

misguided kick had created

“Oops! I didn’t mean to knock over your drink, Oink.”

8

Oops is sad

“I’m breaking everything

I’m not good to play with

I wish I wasn’t so big and clumsy.”

“Don’t be sad, Oops”

comfort his friends

“You’re our friend

We love you the way you are.”

9

and just as they give Oops a big hug,

a dark raincloud sends wet, cold raindrops

showering down onto them

The playground is getting soaked

But the friends stay warm and dry

under Oops’ huge body until the cloud moves on

Finally, the sun comes out again

10

Everybody is happy

“Nobody else could have kept us dry”

states Kitty

“You’re our hero!”

“Thank you” smiles Oops

“I guess being big is good for something.”

-

“Now let’s go jumping in muddy puddles!”

11

”Oh, Oops” “Not everybody loves jumping in muddy

puddles ”

12

Oops and his friends are

heading to the playground

Everybody is having fun,

but Oops is sad

His size causes

all kinds of trouble

Who is going to play with him

ever again?
