The Story of Piggie Pie
Get ready for a funny adventure with Gritch the Witch! Gritch loves to cook, and her favorite dish is "piggie pie." But there's a big problem: she doesn't have any pigs!
So, Gritch decides to visit Old McDonald's Farm. She hopes to find some pigs there for her special recipe. However, the clever pigs on the farm have a trick up their sleeves!
To avoid becoming "piggie pie," the pigs dress up in funny costumes. They pretend to be other farm animals and even Old McDonald himself! Gritch the Witch is totally fooled and can't find any pigs.
Feeling frustrated, Gritch leaves the farm. On her way, she bumps into the Big Bad Wolf. They both decide to go back to Gritch's house. But here's the twist: each of them secretly thinks they will eat the other for lunch! What do you think will happen next?
