Little Yellow Wang-lo

Little Yellow Wang‑lo lives on a modest houseboat with his father, a duck merchant who tends a colorful flock of quacking ducks, drakes and ducklings. One bright morning his father sends him to town to sell the birds and buy a pig for a promised feast, and the boy eagerly dons his Sunday best and rows toward the bustling market. The lively stalls soon see him trade his feathered wares and choose a mischievous black pig with white feet, which he straps and begins the trek home.

The pig, however, refuses to cooperate, darting away and dragging the boy through the countryside in a chaotic chase. Exhausted and chased, Wang‑lo finally catches the animal at a farmhouse, only to discover a noisy litter of piglets that soak his clothing and turn his return into a slapstick scramble. As he finally slips away, an eager eagle swoops down, snatches him up, and then releases him high above the river, sending him spiraling toward an uncertain splash.
