| A travelling salesman of agricultural machinery was on a three week tourthrough the hinterlands of southern Arkansas and was visitingone particular farmer. He was standing, alongside of the farmer,leaning on the corral rail - as he always did before pitching "the newline of tractors" - and looking at all of the farm animals in thebarnyard. Seeing one particular pig, he said: "Say, that sure is a finehog, but, you know, I have never seen a pig with one wooden leg before."The farmer said: "You see, that there pig is one valuable animal, I cantell you. That there hog saved my life three times.""The first time was about a month ago. My wife fried potatoes forsupper, just the way I like them, and left the frying pan on the stove.About midnight or so, the pig must have smelled the smoke, but be brokeout of his pen, butted the house door open with his snout, woke us upand we got out of the house just in time.""And it wasn't but two weeks later and I was mowing on the back fortyand I tipped the tractor over and it pinned me under the rear wheel. Gaswas leaking out of the tank onto the hot manifold and that pig must haveheard me yelling, because he broke out again, ran up to me, saw what hadhappened, ran to the neighbour, got help and the neighbour came with histractor and pulled me free.""And just last week, I was leading the old dairy bull out to pasture,and he raised up and pulled the ring out of his nose and, quick as twoshakes of a dog's tail, he knocked me down. He jumped on me andstraddled me with his horns and was about to gore me, when the old pigheard what was going on, broke out again,aion gold, ran up, got a firm hold on theold bull's tail and I got away."Having heard the explanation, the salesman said: "All well and good,but that doesn't explain why that hog has got a wooden leg."The farmer replied: "Well,FFXI Gil, in a way, it does. A pig that is thatvaluable is way too valuable to eat all at one time". |
