Practice makes perfect? submitted by FordAlpha on August 12, 2018, 9:56pm In this "Elephant and Piggie" installment, Gerald is annoyed by Piggie's freewheeling approach to ball-throwing; Gerald has practiced to throw the ball well, and wants Piggie to understand this accomplishment, but Piggie just wants to have a good time and is unconcerned by her lack of skill. As usual, Gerald learns an important lesson about the virtue of relaxing, using one's imagination, and having fun; but does Piggie learn the equally important lesson about the virtue of working hard to improve a skill? Well, no.
