"chester the worldly pig" is the story of an ambitious little pig. chester knew his fate as meal but wanted more. chester said "a pig is no better off than a cabbage or a carrot, just something to eat. but before i end up as so much as sausage and ham, i intended to try to amount to something". chester had a dream of being in a circus so he taught himself to balance on his snout.
he tried to get the attention from a passing circus train but it didn't work. chester than decided to go to the circus and so he could be discovered. and he did!
but he fainted before he did his act and was put into the clown act. he hated it so he ran away.
chester was then chased by a bear.
and almost became a meal for some hobos.
chester even ended up in the city but discovered that it was not safe for him.
he then returned to a farm and accepted his fate as a pig.
but then a carnival man bought him for the farm because . . . chester was a very special pig!!! he had the map of the world on his belly!!!
so chester ended up a star!!!
this book caught my eye because i love ending pigs but it turned out to be a great little book about never giving up on your dreams! i also kind of feel bad because i would have totally ate chester.
