有一天，太阳光火辣辣地照着大地，天啊，可热了。猪妈妈对小猪说：“噜噜，你到咱们的地里摘个大西瓜回来解解渴吧！”小猪噜噜高兴地说：“好吧！”说完就往西瓜地里跑。到了地里一看。呵，到处躺着大西瓜，水灵灵的，真惹人喜爱！噜噜挑了个最大的摘了下来。它双手搂着西瓜，想抱起来放在肩上扛回家。“哟，好重呀！”噜噜试着抱了几次都没有抱起来，还累得满头大汗。它直起身来，擦了擦脸上的汗水想休息一下，再去试试抱西瓜。突然，它看到小猴皮皮在山下边的马路上滚铁环玩呢。小猪噜噜一拍后脑勺高兴地说：“有了，我有办法了。”什么办法呢？小猪噜噜心想：铁环是圆的，可以滚动。西瓜也是圆的，不也可以滚动吗？想到这儿啊，小猪噜噜

顾不上休息，把大西瓜放在地上。咕噜噜，咕噜噜地向前滚，一直把西瓜滚到家里。

猪妈妈看到小猪噜噜把又圆又大的西瓜搬回家，夸奖噜噜是个爱动脑筋的猪娃娃！
