Chapter Two - The Tale of Little Pig Robinson By Beatrix Potter (Read Aloud)

In this episode of Once Upon a Storytime Podcast, we continue The Tale of Little Pig Robinson with Chapter 2, where we finally meet our hero—a polite and good-natured pig who lives by the sea with his two elderly aunts, Miss Porcas and Miss Dorcas. The aunts are practical and respectable, but there’s one small problem: they’ve grown far too plump to fit through the stiles on the way to town!

So, it’s decided that Little Pig Robinson must go in their place—tasked with selling their wares and picking up important household supplies. Unaware that his quiet errand will soon lead him far beyond the village, Little Pig cheerfully accepts the job.

This chapter is filled with Beatrix Potter’s dry wit, detailed domestic charm, and the gentle beginnings of an unexpected adventure. It’s the perfect setup for what’s soon to become a grand and faraway tale.
