One day brother pig looked at sister pig and said, "You look mighty ugly". So sister pig ran off and started to cry. Brother pig felt good. He felt big and bad. He made it a habit. All the little sister pigs felt so sad and so ashamed. Some of them made fun of each other to ease the pain. But nonetheless when they went home and looked in the mirror they saw pig. For a pig is but a pig.
One little sister pig who had some black spots on her pink skin started making fun of all the other sister pigs who had brown spots. She laughed and joked all day long. She thought brown and pink are so ugly together. And when she looked in the mirror all she saw was a pink little piggy who had the glossiest black spots around town.
One day a tall and shiny donkey came rolling around town with his new family. All the sister pigs and brother pigs had never seen a donkey in real life before. Such a dream. The very first time. The mean little brother pig could not contain himself. He ran as fast as he could. He ran to the little sister donkey. He said to sister donkey,"You are the most beautiful donkey I have ever laid eyes on." "Thank you," said sister donkey. "Can we go out some time?", asked brother pig. Sister pig replied, "You know all the pigs I have come across are so ugly and pink but you are so sweet that I am willing to give you a chance." Brother pig felt so ecstatic. He felt special because sister donkey liked him best.
Brother pig found a new sense of confidence. He walked around bashing all the other sister pigs. He says to them," why can't you be more like sister donkey." The sister pigs felt so sad they could do nothing but cry. For how could they change from pigs to donkeys. They could not understand.
One day the little sister pig with the glossy black spots strolled through town with a new brother donkey. She said to the other brother pigs,"If y'all were as handsome as brother donkey y'all would be able to take me on a date". All the brother pigs ran home crying. For how could they change from pigs to donkeys. They could not understand.
For what will it take for the little sister pigs and the little brother pigs to understand that when they look in the mirror they are but little pigs nothing more and nothing less. Let the donkeys be donkeys. You are a pig go be pig. If a pig makes fun of you for being a pig then they haven't looked in the mirror. For a pig can never birthed a donkey. And pig is pig regardless of the colors of its spots. Making fun of another pig's spots does not make you less of a pig. A pig is a pig as a donkey is a donkey. They all bleed red.
