CHAPTER 1
Before Breakfast
Where's Papa going with that ax?" said Fern to her mother as they were
setting the table for breakfast.
"Out to the hoghouse," replied Mrs. Arable. "Some pigs were born last night."
"I don't see why he needs an ax," continued Fern, who was only eight.

Mr. Arable smiled. "Certainly not," he said, looking down at his
daughter with love. "But this is different. A little girl is one
thing, a little runty pig is another."
"I see no difference," replied Fern, still hanging on to the ax. "This is the most terrible case of injustice I ever heard of."
