Then Señora Gonzalo snorted. Then giggled. Then let out a cackle so loud and wheezy that all the kids fell over. She laughed so hard her glasses fell off. She laughed so hard she sat on a forgotten squeaky mushroom and didn't even care.
Just then, the ground rumbled. A fountain of green glitter shot out of the town well. And a voice, deep and snorty, echoed:
“It remembers everything,” Lola whispered. The Snortlepig was invisible, but you could see its path: teachers’ chalk would turn to cheese, stairs would become slippery with jam, and every time Pepito tried to apologize, his own pants would fall down.

“Ay, Pepito,” the old man whispered. “You didn’t just pull a prank. You pulled a prophecy .”
“The first squeak is a warning. The second will wake the Snortlepig. – The Old Pranker.” “What’s a Snortlepig?” Lola asked.
“Exactly,” Don Ramón said. “You’ve reached Level Two funny. The Snortlepig just woke up. And it’s hungry for the biggest embarrassment of all: the prankster’s own.” She laughed so hard her glasses fell off
