Pig uses dog’s game to escape from wolf

I delivered the vegetables to the merchants. When I was walking back home, the wolf jumped from the bush to stand before me in the middle of the road. His face showed a glee and his smile revealed his sharp teeth. 

“It's the end of you, fat pig,” he said, then he stepped one by one towards me. His face was full of happiness. 

“No, no,” I made my voice trembling, made my face pale, and made my feet quake to tell him I was scared. But I was not scared at all. When I saw him thinking he could get me, I opened my eyes and said, “Robert!”  

Hearing the name, the wolf turned his face to look at his behind. Like a flash, I escaped behind him and when he returned his face as he saw no one, I quickly ran on the ahead road. This method surprised the wolf and it made him late for a few seconds before he rotated his body and started chasing me. Since the wolf was a good hunter, I couldn't win over him by running straight on the road. I had to run once to the left and once to the right. There were bushes and there were rocks, luckily I trained running for the stick and jumped over the rocks with Robert, I could pass them easily. It surprised the wolf big, and it caused him to chase me more late. Not long after, I ran out of the jungle. The sun was shining, adding the pressure on the wolf making him slower his speed. Differently, I added my gear till I saw the gate of my house. 

I yelled, “Robert.” 

Hearing my voice, Robert came out of the house. When he saw the wolf was behind me, he ran at full speed and barked like thunder. The wolf paused his feed when he saw Robert, then he ran back to the forest.

How pig earns money when it doesn’t have money


It was a warm night. I sat in the lounge and watched the fireflies in the bush before my house.

Robert was laying next to my lounge.

“Our vegetables are fresh,” he said.

“Yes.” I nodded. “I will take them to the merchant tomorrow.”

“This is how you get money.”

“Yes.”

“Well, I wondered when you did this job the first time. How could you find a merchant?”

“Well,” I took a cup of cool tea to drink, then I told him, “I didn’t find them. They came to me.”

Robert raised up his head, “Really?”

“Yes.” I put the cup on the table. “I didn’t do anything. I just sat in the house, smiled and laughed from the morning till night, then a merchant came to knock on my door and asked if I had anything to sell to him. I said I had vegetables, he said he bought them. After that, I always take my vegetables to him and other merchants.”

Pig is afraid of someone’s smile


Robert and I were gardening.

From a distance, duck was coming.

“Hello pig, hello Robert,” she said, then she left.

After that, cow came. 

“Hello pig, hello Robert,” he said, then he left.

Next was twin piggies.

“Hello pig, hello Robert,” they said then they left.

I took a heavy sigh.

“Why do you look so upset?” Robert asked.

“I’m not upset. I’m worried,” I replied.

“Why? They were coming with a smile.”

“I better want the mean face of the wolf because at least I know that he is my enemy. But those four guys, I cannot guess what they hide behind their beautiful smiles."

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.
