I like this story very much. Babe is a pig but he want to become a sheeping-dog. And finaly he become to be a sheeping-pig!

Babe is a very clever pig. One day he became sheep-pig and works at a farmer.
Many people think that dogs are cleverer than sheep. But sheep in this book have minds. Babe is a very kind pig. So I felt a clam mind.
