a piglet with a fear of mud...

Fans of Charlotte's Web will get a kick out of a video from the BBC:

It features 'Cinders', a six-week old piglet that suffers from a rather unfortunate condition - she's afraid of mud!

Luckily, the farmer's daughter had the perfect solution to the problem - a pair of toy Wellington boots. Now Cinders can wander happily around in the mud without getting her trotters dirty!

The lovable hog has something else to celebrate too... whilst her siblings might end up as sausages, Cinders has been adopted as a mascot by the farmer, who has promised that she will be able to, "live a long and happy life."
