Nishika Jain, Class VII G
Porter Pig was a very famous pig on farms all across the world. Not only could he lift a barn above his head, but he also had the best snout that anyone had ever seen. Porter Pig was the best at sniffing out trouble. He could smell trouble from fifty miles away. Whenever Porter Pig found trouble, he was always able to fix the problem and make everything okay. Farmers all over the world asked to see Porter Pig, hoping that they would be able to use his strength and snout to make their farm peaceful. One day, on a farm in the south, Porter Pig was sniffing for trouble when he smelled the worst smell he could ever imagine. Porter Pig rushed over to the barn where the smell was very strong. He lifted up the huge barn above his head, and there it was staring right into his eyes. Porter Pig had never seen anything like this before.
The story continued…
Porter Pig had seen a very dangerous thing. It was a black slushy and spongy thing. The animals at the farm had never seen, read or heard about it but Porter Pig was very clever. He knew what the thing was and also how much harm it could cause to the farm, its surroundings, the animals and every living creature present around it.
He was wise so he didn’t want to hurt the farmer and the animals by telling them about their worst trouble. He thought about it for sometime and then called his brother Dr Sciency Pig for help.
Dr. Sciency Pig arrived in about two hours and asked, “What trouble do you have brother?” Porter Pig revealed the secret to him. Porter told his brother that the slushy-spongy thing was none other than the slush of death. It was an unlucky token for everyone around it. It always brought some trouble for its owner and tried to kill him. Scientists had proved that it couldn’t be destroyed by any chemical or acid.
Porter and Sciency both thought about it and at last Sciency had an idea. He had read somewhere that it grew faster in an environment of hatred. So, based on this, Porter decided to expose it to so much love that it reduces in size.
Both Porter and Sciency applied this idea. The farmer and the animals also joined in. They spoke nicely to each other and were kind to each other. It worked and the slush broke into tiny pieces and died. This was the most difficult problem that Porter had to solve in his life.
