Summary:
The story is set in one little farm. One day, Farmer Hogget took a little pig to his farm. The name of the pig is Babe. Mr. and Mrs. Hogget wanted to kill and make a dinner because he wouldn’t be a good sheep-pig such as Fly which is a good sheep-dog they had. But there were one good point that Babe had and Fly didn’t have. Babe was polite to animals such as sheep and ducks Famer Hogget had. Fly made fools of them. This is why Babe was loved by all of them and he worked surely and steadily as a sheep-pig. Then, one day, a sheep-dog contest took place in the village Farmer Hogget lived in. One of the rules of contest said animals will enter the contest are not always dogs, so Farmer Hogget decided to enter Babe for the contest. Babe showed wonderful performances at the contest by politeness for sheep. Babe won the contest.

Evaluation: 5 stars
This story made into a movie in 1996 and it is very famous story. However, I didn’t know the story until I read the book. I’m well impressed by Babe’s politeness for all of animals and bravery of facing anything villain. I wanted to treasure the fighting spirit such Babe has.
