Summary

When Babe, the little orphaned piglet, is won at a fair by Farmer Hogget, he is adopted by Fly, the kind-hearted sheep-dog. Babe is determined to learn everything he can from Fly. He knows he can't be a sheep-dog. But maybe, just maybe, he might be a sheep-pig.

THE SHEEP PIG 🐷

Thank you very much for a joyful night. For a whole week I couldn't stop listening to this therefore I give you a 10/10.

I gave this audible a 10/10 because it had a bit of drama some emotional moments it had everything
Which means I don't need to give you feedback
Absolutely great job. Well done 👏
