A homeless man stops at a farmhouse to beg to spend the night.The farmer answers the door and says "Sure,we can put you up." \x0bThe vagrant washes up for dinner and meets the family downstairs.Sitting at the dinner table are the farmer,his wife,their son,and a gigantic pig who is sitting at the table like a human.Throughout the meal the vagrant tries not to stare at the pig,who sports three medals around his neck,as well as a wooden leg.\x0bFinally,he can contain his curiosity no longer.He asks "Would you mind telling me about the bronze medal around your pig's neck?" \x0bThe farmer says "Sure.It's really an incredible story.Little Timmy here was swimming in the lake when he got a cramp and started to drown.This pig heard his cries for help,busted out of his pen,ran to the lake,and saved our son's life.So,we gave him the medal."\x0bThe vagrant is amazed and says "Well,how about that silver medal?" \x0bThe farmer says "A few months ago our house caught fire in the middle of the night while we were all sleeping.This pig saw the flames,busted out of his pen and ran into the house,waking us up in time.To show our gratitude we gave him that silver medal."\x0b The homeless man says "While I'm at it,I might as well ask you about the gold medal."\x0b The farmer says "My wife was attacked by a burglar several weeks ago.This pig heard her cries,busted out of his pen,and chassised that man far away.To show my thanks I gave him that gold medal"\x0bThe homeless man sits in awe of the pig,who is happily eating his meal with a knife and fork.He asks "What about the wooden leg?"\x0bThe farmer says,matter-of-factly,"Well,you don't eat a pig that all at once!" \x0b

一个无家可归的流浪者来到一家农房前请求住宿一晚.农夫开门说:“当然,我们可以接待你.” 为了参加晚餐,流浪者好好清洗了一番,并下楼问候农夫一家.餐桌旁坐着农夫、农夫的妻子、农夫的儿子,以及一只像人一样坐着的大肥猪.整个用餐的过程中,流浪者一直努力不去盯着肥猪看,肥猪的脖子上戴着三块奖牌和一条木腿.最后,流浪者终于抑制不住自己的好奇了.他问道:“您能告诉我有关挂在你的猪的脖子上的那块铜牌的故事吗?”农夫说:“当然.那真是一个不可思议的故事.当时小提米正在湖里游泳,突然抽筋了,之后就开始下沉.这只猪听到的他的呼救声,冲出猪圈,跑到湖边,救出了我们的孩子.所以,我们给了它那枚铜牌.”流浪者觉得神奇,说道:“那么,那枚银牌呢?”农夫说:“几个月以前我们的房子在半夜突然着火了,当时我们都在熟睡没有发觉.这只猪看到了火焰,冲出猪圈,跑进了房子里,及时地叫醒了我们.为了表示感激,我们送给它了一块银牌.”流浪汉说:“我听得入迷了,我想我不得不问关于那枚金牌的故事了.”农夫说:“几个星期前,我的妻子被一个强盗袭击.猪听到了她的叫喊声,冲出猪圈,赶跑了那个强盗.为了表示谢意,我给了它那块金牌.”流浪者敬畏地看着那只用刀叉吃得正香的大肥猪,问道:“那那只木腿呢?”农夫说:“事实上,没有人能一下子吃掉那么大一头猪,不是吗?”
P.S.没良心啊!最后还是要吃可怜的猪猪……
