¡Ash, la Flor Parlanchina y el Plan de Emily!

Ash, un cerdito curioso, escapa de su granja y encuentra una flor parlanchina llamada Pepina. Emily, una ex-citadina, ve una oportunidad de negocio en la peculiar flor y en Ash, pero su plan cambia cuando descubre la soledad de Pepina y el cariño de Ash por la flor.

A partir de: Once upon a time there was an English farm where a family of pigs lived, the mother and eight children. They were happy because they had all the necessary things for a healthy and comfortable life. However, the little of the brothers, the smart Ash, used to ask her mother "mom, I want to go away and walk free on the field". "You cannot. It is dangerous" was every time the answer. But one sunny spring afternoon when his brothers and mother were taking a nap, Ash went toward the gate of the farm, opened it firmly, and he bravely went away. Ten minutes later, the little pig was walking calmly through a green and great field. He liked to smell all the plants he saw on the ground. As it was spring season, there were many flowers of various colours and sizes. Our dear Ash smelled them with satisfaction and then nibbled on the ones he liked the most. As he was walking, he suddenly saw a flower that was not like the others he had seen up to that moment. The animal was really shocked. What a beautiful and pretty flower! How wonderful! he thought as he slowly approached her. But when he tried to touch it, suddenly the whole field was able to hear: STOP, STOP, What are you doing? Why do you want to kiss me? Go away immediately, you smelly bastard! The pig Ash was very scared. He could hardly say anything. That was the moment when he saw Emily. For years, she had lived in the vibrant centre of New York, surrounded by tall buildings and a constant stream of people. But after some life-changing events, Emily started to desire a more peaceful and calm life. She inherited a charming farmhouse from a distant relative, set in the serene hills of rural Asturias. Emily had always been interested in leaving the citys chaos, but she never thought she would actually take that step. But there she was, in the middle of the nature. Emily stared at the pig, who seemed to be talking to the plant. She thought about going closer, but curiosity prevented her. In her head she kept thinking that she could get the pig, raise it, and at slaughter time, she would have some good hams and sausages. Our little Ash was still enjoying his walk in the field, far from imagining Emylys dangerous thoughts, when suddenly, he saw his mother running towards him. Oh my God, Ash thought, my mum must be very angry. Emily stepped forward to get a good look at the situation. Before she could react, Ash’s mother came running in. “Ash! How dare you run away?” she scolded, pulling his ear. “But mom, the flower talks!” Ash protested. Suddenly, the flower screamed, “Finally, someone is listening! Leave me alone, you rude creatures!” Ash smiled proudly. “See? I told you!” A frightened Emily, who had heard the flower scream, began to think how much money she could make with a talking flower… and maybe a well-bred pig too. As Ash was dragged back home, the flower screamed, “Bye, stinky pig!” Emily smiled. “This is going to get interesting…” Emily decides to take the plant home, transplants it into a container, and begins to create a plan to steal the pig. While thinking about the plan she drinks cider and eats chestnuts. She offers cider to the plant and she accepts, the plant gets drunk and tells her name, Pepina. In the conversation, Emily realizes that Pepina has her own family and she must be with them. She apologizes to the plant and returns it to its place. Pepina smiles drunkenly and thanks her. Once she planted Pepina in the same place, she realized that Pepina was alone. She didn’t have family. The next day she returned to the same place to meet Pepina and she found Ash crying because Pepina had died. He looked at the ground and saw that some seeds had fallen from its flowers and, with Ash’s tears, a lot of small plants, had begun to sprout. Emily thought: “My business is going to go very well”
