Strange. Why did not the pig live happily-ever-after in the nice new pigsty with him and all the intellectual pig posters posting intellectual posts back and forth and generally considering the mutual and inestimable worth of theirselves? Seems like paradise to me. So why did these special pigs bother to return to the gutter and kick the drunk pig lying there? Like I said - strange.

At one point she was going on about a wonderful piece of pork sent them by some better-off family, forget who, and she turned to her mother and cried, "PORK, MOTHER!" PORK! is almost as good as "goo!"
