A city fella was driving on a country road and while passing
by a big farm he saw a pig with a wooden leg.
This made him very curious so he drove up to the farm house
and asked the farmer why his pig had a wooden leg.
The farmer replied, "This is a very valuable pig. One day our
little boy wandered down to the creek and fell in.
This pig came running up to the house just a-gruntin' and a-oinkin'
and making such a racket and we followed him down to the creek
and we jumped in and were able to save our little boy.
Another time, our house caught fire after we had gone to bed one night.
This pig ran around under our window just a-gruntin' and a-oinkin' and
making such a racket that we woke up and got out alive. Yes, sirree.
This is a valuable pig". The city fella said, " But why does your pig have
a wooden leg". "Well", said the farmer, "when you have a valuable pig
like this, you don't eat him all at once".
