"Pig Envy" Once there was a pig named Harold. Harold was a bitter and depressed pig who was full of jealousy. You see, there was another pig, his rival, named Wilbur, who had enjoyed worldwide fame. He had a book written about him and even an animated movie. People all over the world loved and adored Wilbur, but no one knew who Harold was. Harold knew that all he was good for was to be slaughtered and turned into bacon, and that caused him to sizzle with rage. "Damn that Wilbur! Damn him!" thought Harold. Unfortunately, when pigs sizzle in such a manner as Harold, the scent they make turns human beings into crazy, ravenous lunatics. Farmer Nelson, smelling bacon fat in the air, suddenly got an idea. "I’ll slaughter a pig for bacon," he thought. And with that, Harold’s fate was sealed. And that’s what comes of jealousy, boys and girls, that’s what comes of jealousy. THE END |
