Emma was fed all kinds of food to help her get healthy and plump before the babies arrived. Her favorite food was apples! Before they could get Emma better, the babies arrived. Four, Five, Six.... Seven, Eight, Nine... soon there were SEVENTEEN new hungry piglets for Emma to care for. Unfortunately she was too ill to properly care for the piglets.
