The owners Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter thought it would stay a cute little pig, never weighing more than ten kilograms.

The pig lives in their house, eats a lot of fruit, vegetables and corn every week and even enjoys a short sleep on their bed. Friends would come over and say Esther was getting bigger. But they would say no, refusing to admit (承认)the fact. But soon Esther began to steal things to eat from the kitchen. The sofa for it became smaller.

They just love it more. What else can they do? It isn’t its mistake（错误） and they will never give up their pet. At night, when they move to the farm, the pig sleeps beside their bed on the floor.
