A picture Is Worth A Thousand Words: The Magpie

In the picture is a domestic pig known as kunekune , a trough filler, and two magpies sitting on the pig's back. The hays on the floor tell of the place to be a pig farm. The picture shows a typical setting of a small pig farm.

Story

It was Tuesday morning, a very busy day for Mr. Felix, that he forgot to fill the feeder trough. It was already 3:30pm when it occurred to him that he had left the farm very early and the trough was empty, he quickly wrapped up with the duties he had at hand and hurried back home.

The pig wandered about the farm, each time returning to the feeder to check if there was feed in it. At a point it was tired of returning and stood there hoping to eat off the little feed hanging on the sides of the trough. The pig stood sneezing into the feeder can when two magpies came resting on its back picking out tiny insects that were hidden in its skin.

It was about dusk, the sun was already setting in the west when Mr. Felix arrived at the farm, the pig was lying around the trough with the magpies still pecking on it. He cursed as he hurried into the store and fetched enough feed to satisfy the pig. He ate hurriedly trying to fill the stomach paying no attention to the magpies that kept pecking on its skin.

A few moments later, the can was almost empty, it grunt and started looking for a better place to rest for the day. Mr. Felix felt relaxed now knowing the pig had eaten to its satisfaction. He set a reminder at 6:30am everyday to remind him to fill the trough before going out for his other jobs. He sighs in relief and takes a rest for the day.
