The two primary characters - Gerald and Piggie.
They call each other to play outside on a sunny day.
Gerald and Piggie run to a water fountain to quench their thirst. They were playing near an orange statue.
Gerald likes to pour water into the pool with his trunk.
Gerald and Piggie try to cross a street. They are at the intersection of 'Elephant Boulevard' written as 'Elephant BD' and 'Pig Street'. They are headed for 'Hedgehog Street', as you will learn soon.
Note the many signals at the intersection - One needs to be really careful when crossing! In addition, they are close to a railroad crossing.
Gerald and Piggie come by the railway track.
Gerald has a blue car. Piggie has a red car. They are going past 'Mayhem Street'. The author spent quite some time debating whether the name of the street should be 'Mayhem' or 'Doodlebugs', but finally settled on 'Mayhem'. The characters are not clearly visible in their cars.They are driving within the speed limit of course.
Finally, they reach Hedgehog street. Their destination. Sigh of relief!
