Synopsis

Freddy the pig is writing a poem. It is about how useful tails would be if pigs could wag them. Just then, something bites Freddy’s tail. Eeeeeeyow!  J.J. Pomeroy the robin is very sorry. His eyesight is bad, and Freddy’s tail did look like a plump worm. Putting aside his poem, Freddy decides to help the poor bird solve his nearsightedness. But the solution just leads to further adventures for the inventive pig. Soon he is designing hats and arranging a jousting tournament!
