S.Calhoun – 2013 – Dervish Dancer No. 3
A boy, very attached to his pet pig, one day decided to enter it in a horse race. Much to his dismay the pig finished last and suffered the ridicule of all the horsemen. The boy was quite surprised, for, as he told one of the horsemen: “it makes no sense that a pig as fast as she was when she was a piglet shouldn’t grow up to be even faster!”
(I first heard this on a cassette of a lecture by Idries Shah.)
