A Certain Unruly Piglet (Pt. 1)

            You see, my friend, there once lived an unruly piglet with a peculiarly straight tail. The wise, fat hogs all said the same thing to him, to concentrate his tiny tail muscles on the beautiful art of curving and if that didn’t work, use a curling iron. But the more the piglet tried to follow their advice, the more he started thinking maybe he liked his straight tail. In fact, it became very useful for fly-swishing. The piglet wondered and blundered around the pigsty each day with his straight tail while the hogs conjectured solutions from their muddy old minds.
