  1. An Old Story

    Share Share Post
    A man was driving pigs one day. He was making his way to the town. There was a gentleman on the road too. He had an umbrella. The gentleman gave a slap of the umbrella to the pig. The pig went in between his feet and he took the man on his back. The owner of the pig was very angry with the gentleman. When the man could not get the pig he began to fight with the gentleman. It was the owner of the pig that won because he was the strongest.
