While Mrs. Pig is at the grocery store one day, she comes up with a plan to solve her problem. The piglets are delighted when Mrs. Pig stocks up on ketchup, their favorite food, until they realize it's all they will be eating. They soon tire of ketchup for every meal, and beg their mother not to buy anymore the next time she goes to the grocery store.
