Basil, Rosemary and the Pansy sisters are lively, chatty little plants. They think they know some stuff, but when it comes to this animal, they know nothing. One wild assumption leads to another and gets them into big trouble.
Excerpt from the story -
The Pansy sisters lived in a red flowerpot in the town square. They shared the pot with Basil, Rosemary, and Pig.
팬지 자매는 광장에 있는 빨간색 화분에서 살았어요. 그들은 바질과 로즈메리 그리고 돼지와 함께 화분을 썼어요.
The Pansy sisters had beautiful blue coloured flowers. They looked very good next to the young green plants, Basil and Rosemary.
팬지 자매는 아름다운 파란색의 꽃이었어요. 바질, 로즈메리 같은 어린 초록색 식물들 옆에서 팬지 자매는 정말 멋져 보였어요.
Pig was different. Pig was an animal.
돼지는 달랐어요. 돼지는 동물이었어요.
