, First edition
Fatina, a little piglet, has a cherished dream to become a famous ballerina. Her friends did not understand her great desire and only asked Why? You'll become a great ballerina when pigs learn to fly. But Fatina simply ignored their comments. She often dresses up and dances around the house to entertain her Mother. Fatina would dearly love to take dancing lessons to reach her goal, but her Mother has no money for the lesson. That makes the Mother sad. Although she didn't sing very well, she joined the local animal choir, hoping to further her great career. Fatina learns of an old woman, who also lives in Swine Cityo. She lives down by the dock and every day at four o'clock serves tea and tells success stories that seem magical. Fatina's Mother agrees to take her to talk to the old woman. The old woman patted Fatina on the head and told her, The magic to succeed is within you. Fatina was so disappointed.... that was not what she had expected. Eventually Fatina realizes that she could entertain and she would by dancing the Irish Pig Jig.
