On The Road With Violet: Pig Out
For a few minutes Violet walks along as if nothing is amiss. Then, suddenly, she spins around to face whoever is following her.
There, in the grass at the side of the road, she sees a small red pig. Both she and the young swine are caught by surprise for a moment. For Violet’s part, well, one seldom finds oneself being followed by pigs. The pig, on the other hand, has come to learn that when humans suddenly turn to face you, it can mean a long chase and a quick return to the pig pen…or worse.
After a moment’s silence, Violet speaks up.
“Well, hello there. I’m sorry if I startled you, but you were giving me a bit of the creeps, following me all stealthily like that. My name is Violet and I’m pleased to meet you.”
Now, it may well seem odd to most of us to strike up a conversation with a pig. After all, it’s not the sort of thing that most people (pig farmers excepted, of course) would do. However, Violet is determined not to be bound by conventionality, so chatting up a pig is not all that strange for her.
The pig steps out of the grass and Violet can see that it is a young female, weighing around 50 pounds. After approaching to within 5 feet of Violet, the pig gives forth with a few grunts and a subdued squeal, then curtsies. Violet, who was taught good manners by her Granny Ingrid, curtsies back.
“My, what a well mannered young lady you are”, she says to the pig. “Would you like to travel along with me? I’d enjoy someone to talk to, and we girls probably shouldn’t travel alone.”
The pig nods and then she and Violet set off down the road. After a minute or so, Violet says “So, Miss Pig, what is your name? I suppose I’ll have to guess, since I don’t speak Swinish. Is it Alice?”
The pig shakes her head.
“Ann?”
Another shake.
