『BABE ~pig in the city~』


　This book is a sequel of ‘BABE the sheep-pig’. This story is about Mrs. Hogget and Babe’s trip. After took part in the British sheepdog trial, Babe and Mr. Hogget would be famous. And they live in a farm. But one day, Mr. Hogget was injured because of Babe. After the accident, Mr. Hogget stayed in bed. He can’t work, so Mrs. Hogget worries about money.
Then few days ago, the letter from bank reached. The letter said that if Mrs. Hogget and little pig work in the city, we will pay some dollars. Mrs. Hogget decided to go to the city with Babe. Animals of Mr. Hogget’s farm said that don’t go to the city. Chatty duck, Ferdinand was sad about this thing. Because, he is best friend of Babe.
Then Mrs. Hogget and Babe’s long trip was started. But plans can go wrong. When she and Babe leave the farm for the city, they have to stay at the Flealands Hotel. This is a hotel with much kind of animals in a room. For example, there are monkeys, chimpanzee, many dogs and mice.
First time, Babe was bullied from animals in the hotel. Mrs. Hogget goes to jail, because of chimpanzee’s mischief. Then also Babe takes part in the magic show. And chimpanzee tells Babe that people of the city is very cold. But one day Babe helped drowning fierce dog, so Babe called ‘boss’ from other animals.
And then Babe helped other animals with Ferdinand. In fact, Ferdinand followed Babe. Ferdinand and Babe released a animals from bad people.
Last, all of animals go back to the Mr. Hogget’s farm. And live in a farm with them.

After reading this book, I really enjoyed. BABE was written by Dick King-Smith. He is an Englishman and was a farmer. So, most of his literature is about farm.
