Chapter 1 Before Breakfast Where's Papa going with that axe? said Fern to her mother

as they were setting the table for breakfast. Out to the hog house, replied Mrs. Arable.

Some pigs were born last night. I don't see why he needs an ax,

continued Fern, who was only eight. Well, said her mother,

one of the pigs is a runt. It's very small and weak,

and it will never amount to anything. So your father has decided to do away with it.
