Pig is scared of human’s society


There was a sound coming from the neighbor’s farm.

“What’s the matter?” Robert asked.

“I don’t know. I’ll go to see.”

After telling him, I walked out of the house.

Five minutes later, I came back.

“It’s the son of the master of the duck. He was cheated by a woman who he met online. He lost his savings.”

Robert raised his eyebrows when he heard it, “He has graduated. How can he get cheated?”

“Well, I can say he is too careless. He should know people are good and bad. He can’t trust anyone easily. People who have known each other for many years, see each other face to face, still they can betray; how can he believe in someone he just met through the internet?”

Robert opened his eyes big.

“You know!" I continued, "Some men leave their country for another country and get a wife in that country in order to make it easier for him to find money. Even though he is a married man. And his wives in his homeland don’t oppose - because they want money from their husbands. Some ladies know that the men are already taken, still they agree to be a third party because they want the men to take care of their living expenses. To get money, humans can do everything, especially people online. Some people act they are poor to get help from viewers, some people act they are rich to gain popularity or to scam other's money, some people create fake stories and post on social media to get views, some people act they love each other to get views etc. In current society, the community of people who love the same sex is new and it is famous. Some people fake their identity by pretending they love the same sex in order to be famous, some do it to cheat on same-sex-person to offer them money. There is more than that about the bad things that humans create inside their own society.”

Robert shook his head, “They become scarier.”

Why pig chooses to be a gardener


“Pig, how can you earn money to support your life after you left your master?” Robert asked.

“When I was living with him, I learnt how to grow vegetables. When I left his farm, I grew vegetables then I took them to sell to the merchant,” I responded.

“Why did you choose to grow vegetables instead of doing other things?”

“Because it is the only job that doesn’t need much money to spend on and it can grow even when I am sleeping.”

“Really?”

“Yes.” I smiled. “I just need soil to put it in, water it regularly, then it can grow on itself.”

“I see.” Robert wagged his head.

What pig does towards friend


The moon was half in the sky.

I sat in the lounge and drank warm tea.

Robert went out of his house and came to lay on the ground next to my lounge. He looked at the moon and said, “The moon is alone.”

“Yes,” I nodded, “but I think she is happy to be alone.”

“What about you? Are you happy?”

I turned to him, “Why do you ask me this question?”

“I just wondered because I didn’t see you have a close friend.”

“I do, but I don’t see her.”

“Why?”

I took the cup to drink before I told him, “She and I were pigs in the farm of my ex-master. When I left the farm in the early days, we usually met, but then I decided to stop meeting her.”

“Why do you do that?”

“Because if I stay near her, she will not have any chance to improve herself since she loves to ask me to help her with every works. Furthermore, there are a lot of animals envious of me. They want to attack me but they can’t so they turn to her. Unless they see she is not my friend, she will be safe.”

Robert wagged his head, “I see.”

Very good friends of Pig!!!


When I was coming back from delivering vegetables to the merchant, I saw cow, duck and twin piggies sitting under the tree.

“Hello pig,” they said.

“Hello,” I said.

“Come to join us.”

It has been many days already that I haven't met them; hence, I thought I should not refuse their friendly invitation.

When I sat among them, they began to talk about everything, but they didn’t talk about the sugar cane, the corn and the tomato. Since they didn’t talk about them, I didn’t raise it either. However, I was not pleased because mostly they discussed rumors about their relatives, their neighbors, their friends and animals around them. I felt bored, so I said to them, “I have work to do, so I go now.”

They nodded their heads.

When I left about five steps, I heard them whisper…

“Who asks her to bring Robert! See, she has to work to raise that dog.”

“Right.”

“It’s her karma.”

Though I didn’t put their words in my mind. It was reality in this world. If you sit among the people talking behind the other, you will be their topic when you get up from your seat.

Pig enjoys dog’s game


It was a good, shiny day. 

At the lake, I and Robert played together. I threw a stick then Robert ran to catch it and brought it to me. Next, he threw it and I ran to catch it and brought it to him.

Cow, duck and twin piggies saw us. They yelled, “Are you crazy, pig? You are not a dog.” Then they laughed.

I didn’t care, I carried on playing. 

Following, I played with him by jumping over the bushes. Whoever won would get to sit on a cart and the loser would pull the cart home. And Robert was the winner.

“Ha ha ha, you are a crazy pig.” All my friends laughed at me strongly.

Pig wants to fight with wolf more than with friends


It was a quiet night. I sat in a lounge and looked at the fireflies in the bush before my house.

Robert was laying on the ground next to my lounge. When I raised a cup of hot tea to drink, he said, “These few days I didn’t see your friends coming.”

“I will see them when they bring me the seeds of vegetables they want me to grow for them, the soil to grow those vegetables and the well to water the vegetables,” I said and put the cup on the table.

Robert wagged his head. “I see,” he said.

We were silent for a few seconds then he asked, “Why do you give rose apples to crow?”

“She helped work for me. Actually, I paid her already but I still gave it to her for an extra.”

“Why do you make friends with her? She is a crow. A crow is not a good bird.”

“Though she is an honest informant who tells me about the wolf.”

“I heard about you and the wolf. He is your enemy. You think a lot when you need to fight with him, but I notice you were relaxed after that. Different from telling your friends to bring the seeds, the soil and the well; you look not relaxed.”

I showed a tired smile, “Fighting with an enemy is easier than fighting with a friend. I use a lot of energy - because my friends are toxic.”

Pig fights with toxic friend


“Hello pig,” cow said.

“Hello cow,” I said.

“I am hungry. I want to eat sugar cane.”

“Why do you tell me?”

“Please grow sugar cane, and when it is done, please bring it to me.”

After saying it, he left for his cage. I was standing still because of the surprise. 

Then duck came. She said to me, “Hello pig, I want to eat corn.”

“Then?”

“Please grow it for me.”

Again, she left after saying it.

“Hello pig,” twin piggies said.

“What’s the matter?” I said.

“We are hungry for tomatoes. Please grow them and bring them to us.” 

Like cow and duck, they left after telling me what they wanted, but didn’t wait for my confirmation.

I felt they were too much, but I could not refuse directly since I knew their personality clearly.

Next day, I called them and said, “Cow, you want sugar cane; duck you want corn; and twin piggies, you want tomato. In order to achieve it, you must find the seeds for me, you must buy soil and you must build a well for me to get the water to water the vegetables.”

“You are a good friend. We believe you can help us,” all of them said and tried to show a pitiful expression. However I was a strong mind pig. I said by stressing each of my words, “Bring me the seed, soil and the well” and I left without looking back after I finished my speech.

Pig got insomonia

"You look not well, pig?” Robert asked. “I didn't sleep for a few nights,” I said. “Why?” “I don't know. I just knew that I wan...
