Porky the Solitary Pig: A Tale of Friendship and Distinctiveness

Once upon a time, there was a solitary pig named Porky. Porky was different from all the other pigs because of his distinctive snout. It was long, curly and much bigger than the other pigs. Porky was always alone and didn't like to join the other pigs for their daily aggregation. They liked to play and socialize together, but Porky preferred to spend time by himself.

One day, Porky was out for a walk when he stumbled upon a large apple tree. The apples looked delicious and Porky couldn't resist. He climbed the tree and started munching on the juicy apples. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise and realized that a group of pigs were coming towards the tree. Porky quickly climbed down and hid behind a bush.

The group of pigs gathered under the tree and started to eat the apples. Porky was curious, so he peeked out from behind the bush to see what was happening. He noticed that the other pigs were looking at his snout with amazement. Porky felt self-conscious and was about to run away when one of the pigs approached him.

"Hey, your snout is amazing," said the pig. "We have never seen anything like it. Can you help us get the apples that are too high for us to reach?"

Porky was surprised by the pig's kindness and agreed to help. With his long snout, Porky was able to reach the highest apples and hand them to the other pigs. They were grateful and thanked Porky for his help.

From that day on, Porky was no longer a solitary pig. He joined the aggregation of pigs every day and was loved by all for his distinctive snout. Porky realized that being different can also be a good thing and that it's always better to be with friends than to be alone.

The end.
