A Piglet Called Truffle

Jasmin's dad is a farmer, and her mum is a large-animal vet, so Jasmin spends a lot of time caring for animals and keeping them out of trouble. Unfortunately, this often means she gets into hot water herself. Maya rescues a tiny little piglet from certain death. But Jasmin's parents don't believe in farm animals being pets and insist that Truffle must be sold as soon as she's big enough. So Jasmin begins a campaign to keep her one that doesn't seem to be going very well as Truffle gets older and ever closer to market. In the end, it takes two lost guinea pigs and one cold, frosty, nighttime adventure to save Truffle's bacon.
