Tackling Water, Perky-Style

For some reason, Perky was on a side trip to a bridge on the way home from New Hampshire. Billy Bob was afraid of heights, and Sparkle....well, who knew where Sparkle was?

"Wow, that's a lot of water...."

Wanting to get closer but not wanting to jump into the water, Perky settled for sitting on the bridge that rose just above the water.

"I can't fall....right?"

Another bridge later, Perky was really ready to fall, this time from a high stone under the bridge onto a beach.

"How'd I get up here in the first place?"

 Yet another sight caught Perky's eyes on the highway home, and its name was Silver Cascade. Being the curious pig he was, Perky had to check it out.

"If you could see how high up it actually was, you'd be a curious pig too!"

The river was only a mile away, yet it managed to drag Perky's eyes a very long distance as he raced to sit on top of a rock before the current got to him. As he reached the top, he told himself that this would be the last body of water he explored.

"THERE'S SO MUCH WATER! Good thing I know how to swim...I think...."

As soon as Perky scrambled off of the rock, Billy Bob and Sparkle were there with a map, ready to help the traveling pig find his next location.

"I'm not so sure we're going in the right direction...."

Sparkle then saw a bridge and suggested that the trio visited it. When they got there, however, it was obvious that Billy Bob would not be able to make the journey. So Sparkle stayed behind with him while Perky ventured on alone.

"Can I do the 'Gangnam Style' across the bridge?"

Once assured that, no, he could not do the Gangnam Style across the bridge, Perky, Billy Bob and Sparkle decided to take the better view from a rock high up on a mountain.

"ARE YOU SURE WE'RE NOT GOING TO FALL??????" -Billy Bob

It took several attempts to comfort the poor hippo and coax him down from the rock. After, several cookies were needed to calm him down and restore him back to his chipper self.

"Mmmm...who would've thought that mint cookies would taste so good?"

At that point, Perky thought that there had been enough adventure for one day, and decided that a rest for the group was in order.

"Why am I the only one sleeping on a rock?"
