  5. Section 1 What’s the Story (Script for Reference) • There once was a famous pig. One day a newspaper reporter visited the pig’s farm to research the famous pig. The reporter saw a 3-legged pig hobbling around the barnyard. Is that the famous pig, asked the reporter. Yes, said the farmer, now that is one very smart pig. It can do math and even do the multiplication tables all the way to 12 x 12! Impressive, said the reporter. Tell me – why does the pig have only 3 legs? Once that pig caught a thief breaking into my farmhouse, said the farmer, the pig knocked the phone off the hook with its nose and dialed the police, then sat on the thief until the police got there to arrest him.

  6. Section 1 What’s the Story (Script for Reference) • I see, said the reporter, but why does the pig have 3 legs? And another time, continued the farmer, that pig saved the life of my own son. The pig saw my boy drowning in the pond, and it jumped right in and rescued him. Wow, said the reporter, I see why your pig is so famous. But you still haven’t told me why it has only 3 legs. A pig like that, replied the farmer, you don’t eat it all at once.
