  Alice fetched the three-legged pig and plopped it down in the middle of the food, where it snorted and grunted and gobbled, collapsed on its back and wiggled its legs at Alice as if it hadn't even noticed that she'd gi ven the food to the turkey first. Alice sighed. What a forgiving pig. A generous pig! 'I wish I could take you home with me, ' she said sadl y, and for a moment she could have sworn she saw the pig wink. Alice's s older brother is good at everything, and he teases her mercilessly about her difficulty in pronouncing words. Her baby sister is a toddling tornado who gets into everything. In-the-middle Alice wants to learn to speak properly so Oliver will stop teasing her. She also wishes for a real pig for her eighth birthday, something of her very own. When her birthday finally ar rives, Alice receives more than she could have wished for
