The Pigs are hungry, but there's no food in the house.  They want to go to a local restaurant, but don't have enough money.  They begin searching the house, finding money in some of the strangest places.  They finally find enough money, and go out for a nice relaxing dinner only to return home to their disaster of a house.  The book contains a page at the end detailing the money they found, and challenging readers to figure out how much they spent at the restaurant.
