One morning, Pig gets a leaflet through the letter box, saying 'Gardening Competition. Grow Big things and win Big prizes!' 'Hooray!' thinks Pig. 'I'll win Easily!' And he sets to work, making a special growing mixture which he puts on Everything. Then he waits to see what will grow the most. Eventually he grows a beautiful and absolutely Enormous plant. But when the judges see it, they aren't impressed...Fortunately, almost nothing can dampen Pig's Spirits, and his friends come up with a wonderful way of making him a winner after all!
