How guinea pigs got their squeak.
How guinea pigs got their squeak.

Once a long long time ago
There was a guinea pig named Oreo. Guinea pigs were silent animals. Oreo loved to go on morning walks. But at the end of her walk, she had to run from a dog. The dog tried to get her. Nobody knew what it would do with Oreo. Then Oreo’s friend, Carrots the rabbit told her that she should get a noise. A screeching noise.
“Dogs hear noises higher than other animals. The dog will be really scared!” said Carrots.
Oreo couldn’t because she couldn’t make a noise. So Carrots went to the sky god and asked “Oh god of the sky, Could you give Oreo a screeching noise?”
The sky god agreed. Carrots asked if the noise will frighten dogs. In return she got the sky god some peaches. So the sky god gave Carrots some lettuce.
“Give this to Oreo. It will give her a noise,” the sky god instructed.
So Carrots thanked the sky god and left.
Meanwhile… Oreo is at Carrot’s house.
Carrot said, “I brought you a surprise!”
Oreo ate the lettuce. The next day, while Oreo was walking, the dog came and chased Oreo. Oreo got annoyed about it and then something incredible happened.
“SQUEEEEEAK!”
The dog got really scared and ran. The dog never annoyed any other guinea pig again.
That’s why Guinea pigs have a squeak!
