And notices that the animal has a wooden leg. Curious, he asks the farmer how the pig lost its limb. “Well,” says the farmer, “one night the wife and me were asleep when the pig spotted the house was on fire. It broke down the door, ran up the stairs and dragged me to safety. Then it went back in and carried out my wife. Then it went in a third time and rescued my four children. We’d all be dead if it weren’t for this pig.”
“So did the pig get its leg burned in the fire?” asks the man.
“Oh, no,” says the farmer. “But when you’ve got a pig like this, you don’t eat it all at once.”
