One day, a man was driving by a farm, and he saw an amazing thing:  there
in the field was a pig with a wooden leg.  He was so suprised at this unusual
sight that he stopped to ask the farmer about it.  "That's no ordinary pig,"
said the farmer.  "That there pig is a hero!  One day last fall, my son was
riding the tracter, and it fell over on him.  That pig saw him, and dug
under his fence, ran over to the tracter and dug my son out from under there."
The man was amazed at this story, but the farmer continued: "And then, last
month it was, our farmhouse caught fire one night, and that pig dug under
his fence again, broke into the back door and woke us all up.  Saved our
whole family's lives, he did."  This was just too much to beleive.  The man,
who still hadn't had his curiosity satisfied said, "well then how did that
amazing pig get a wooden leg?"  "Well," the farmer replied, "with a pig like
that, you wouldn't expect us to slaughter him all at once, would yeh?"
