0:19 Good evening. My name is Beverly Wilkerson. I'm president of the Cullman County Historical Society.
0:26 And tonight I'm going to be reading the book Pig the Star. Pig was a pug and I'm sorry to say
0:34 he just loved attention. He showed off all day. He'd shout, "Look at me. I'm the best.
0:41 I'm a star." But then came the day that he took it too far.
0:47 Yes, Trevor and Pig had a big photo shoot. They wore little costumes. They looked
0:55 really cute. "Isn't this fun?" giggled Trevor with glee. But Pig pushed right past him and
1:04 yelled, "Look at me. Aren't I just fabulous? Aren't I divine? Now back off, salami.
1:16 These costumes are mine." Yes, Pig ruled the photos. He hogged every shot. He whispered to Trevor,
1:27 "I'm in and you're not." And under the lights as the camera went snap,
1:33 Pig felt like a rock star and started to rap. "Yo, I'm a star, y'all.
1:41 Yeah, dog, I'm the best. Now get me a donut, you sausage-shaped pest." But then something happened that changed
1:51 the whole shoot. The man with the camera said, "That dog is cute." "Wow, Trevor's a star." the photographer
2:02 said. He couldn't believe it. And then he saw red. He shrieked, "I'm the star."
2:12 And he knocked Trevor flat. But Trev bumped his rocket and the rocket went
2:21 splat. These days it's different. I'm happy to say Pig's dreadful antics have gone all
2:30 away. He's not such a show-off. He's not such a swine. And although it annoys him
2:39 he lets Trevor shine. That was the end of that story. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Thank
2:47 you. Goodnight.
