Did you know pigs aren’t all the same?
Did you know pigs have feelings too?
A long time ago a pig was left behind. Left by his family and friends. Left by his old life. His happy life. He had nowhere to go, and nobody to visit. No one that made him laugh, just someone that made him cry. He had nobody to speak with and nobody to follow.
He was a black pig. No one enjoyed a black pig’s company. The black pigs were naughty. The black pigs were dumb. You’d be an idiot if you accepted a black pig for what it was. Black pigs can’t live. Black pigs can’t hide. If you’ve born a black pig, you’ll have to either kill it, or push it away from yourself. Nobody wants a retarded child, you know.
This is what happened with the black pig I’m talking about. He was pushed away from his mother. What will he do now? How could he move on without any help at all?
Sometimes you just have to do what you can to survive. Whatever’s possible is what you should do. Whenever your chance is there, reach it.
What if it’s impossible? What if the little black pig can’t reach it?
The black pig is sad. The black pig is angry. The black pig is tired. Anyway he won’t give up. He won’t let the pink pigs bully him. He won’t starve to death. He will make it.
Even though you don’t know what your goal is, you’re trying to reach it. The little pig will reach this goal someday. He knows he will. He trusts his faith as he is walking down this road, which follows him to his goal.
The little pig is even more tired now. All he wants is to get there. There where he can fit in. There where he can be somebody, and not just some black pig that nobody cares about.
This will happen, he just knows. This is his greatest wish, and it’s funny how your greatest wish comes true.
The pig is there. He’s finally there. He has reached his goal, and his goal was to be loved. He’s being loved by his new mother, who is accepting him for who he is. His gorgeous and pink mother. He’s being loved by his whole new family. A family who loves a black pig’s company. They’re dancing together and loving each other.
He’s somebody, and not just some black pig that nobody cares about.
