What is The wind in the wallows about?

On a peaceful summer afternoon, the animals by the river enjoy the quiet countryside. Then suddenly: BANG! POP! POOP! PARP! A terrible smell drifts across the water, and everyone starts blaming someone else. The cows blame the sheep, the sheep blame the pigs, and even a fox with a sausage insists he is innocent. As more animals join the search, all wearing pegs on their noses, they finally discover the surprising culprit behind the outrageous pong.
