Mr. Johnson notices one particular pig and casually tells Sammy, Looks like she s ready for auction. Sammy s heart sinks. Please don t take Gabby to the auction, she s not that kind of pig! But Mr. Johnson, unfazed, reminds Sammy to finish his chores and moves on to other farm duties. Feeling the weight of his responsibilities, Sammy checks on his mischievous baby goat, Beckett, who s been warned to stay out of his mother s garden. As if keeping Gabby off the auction list wasn t enough. Later, Beckett meets Gabby, and as he leaves the pig pen, he calls out, I ll come visit you if you re still around. But as he walks away, he feels a pang of regret, noticing the worry on Gabby s face. Unsure if he has upset her, Beckett decides to seek advice from Alexander the mouse.
