A retelling of Henry David Thoreau's humorous journal entry from August 8, 1856 when his father's pig escaped. It recounts the struggles that Henry experienced trying to catch and return the pig to his father. Henry did not have a day quite as he expected: rowing on his boat and searching for rare flowers. He returned home with no boating, no wild flowers, and was covered with mud and grease.
