The Folly of Wrestling a Pig in the Mud
“A man was angered by a pig and, in his fury, jumped into the mud to fight with it. In the end, the man did not get justice and had to exert effort cleaning the mud off himself when he returned home. Meanwhile, the pig happily continued to roll around and play in the mud.”
The Man Who Wanted to Outplay a Pig
Once, in a big, green farm, there was a man who didn’t like a pig. One day, feeling very mad, he jumped into the pig’s muddy playground to show the pig who’s the boss. They played and rolled, and soon, the man was all covered in mud!
When the man tried to leave, the icky, sticky mud wouldn’t let him go easily. It took a long, long time to get all cleaned up.
But guess what? The pig loved the mud! It kept playing and having fun, while the man wished he’d never jumped in.
Lessons from the Mud
It’s not always a good idea to jump into a situation without thinking. The man learned the hard way that sometimes, it’s best to stay out of the mud and let pigs be pigs.
