Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there lived a pig named Porky. Porky was the leader of all the animals in the barnyard and was always in charge of keeping everyone in line.

One day, a cow named Bessie wanted to go out and play, but Porky told her she had to stay in the barnyard. Bessie was disappointed, but she did as she was told.

Just then, a mischievous cat named Whiskers snuck into the barnyard and started causing trouble. He chased the dog, Rusty, all around, knocking over anything and everything in his path.

Porky was getting fed up with Whiskers’ antics and decided enough was enough. So, he chased after the cat, shouting, "Get out of here, you silly cat! You're causing too much trouble!"

Whiskers was so frightened that he ran out of the barnyard as fast as he could. Porky, feeling proud of himself, turned around to find Bessie and Rusty giving him a round of applause.

Porky realized that sometimes, the best way to deal with troublemakers is to simply show them the door. And with that, Porky went back to his barnyard, content knowing that he was still the leader of all the animals, in and out of the barnyard.

The end.
