and such an addition to the barnyard.
But still, see your point, Sammy.
I can understand that it is nice to
hear things said that are Interesting
even II we know them already.
<NOw, take myself for example. If
anyone came up to me and said:
Brother Bacon, you're a fine pig.
You're one of the finest pigs in these
parts. You're great addition to the
barnyard,' I'd know it was all true.
It would be no news to me. Still it
would be interesting and nice to hear"
you're wrong, Brother Bacon,
you're wrong" said Pinky Pig. II
agree with you about it being nice to
hear the truth, but I'm not at all sure
that you're such an addition to the
barnyard. In fact, I don't think you
are. But see what you mean, and
the point that you make.
"Now, for example, if someone came
up to me and said:
why. Pinky Pig, you're the finest
pig that ever laid my eyes upon I
would consider it very interesting
and 1t would be true and no news
to me-"
"Put myself in your place." said Mas
ter Pink Pig, "and have that talk adj
dressed to me, and it would be quite
true, quite"
you're wrong" said Porky Pig,
'the only one to whom such a thing
could be said, so it would be inter-
esting and true, would be to myself,
Grandfather Porky Pig"
''Oh. no." said Miss Ham, sit would
be to me, the Miss Ham of the barn
yard"
''It's much more superior to be q
Mrs. Pig" said Pinky's mother. "Now
! am an addition to the barnyard."
Dear me, dear me-" said Miss Ham,
II started in by asking Sammy what
he meant by saying it was nice and in
teresting to hear things we knew al
ready and each one Of US, in pig fash
ion, have started off to praise our
selves. We are the incest of pigs.
Each one is as greedy as possible.
Yes. we're all nice pigs, but I'm the
incest of the lot"
Pm the incest of the lot" squealed
each pig in turn, and everyone forgot
It was hot until finally Porky Pig
grunted and said:
1--WE started in to argue about the
heat, and now we're arguing about cur
own good points"
$50 much more interesting" said
Miss Ham. "and so much more piggish
and natural and sociable, too!''
And all the pigs agreed that talking
about pigs was very, very interesting
