Once upon a time, there was a family in a village that raised a big fat pig. This pig was chubby with big ears, its whole body was covered in fat, and it waddled when it walked, adorable. The children loved to surround it, feed it, and play with it. One day, the village chief's child had a birthday, so the chief had this fat pig slaughtered and prepared a sumptuous feast for the guests. At the feast, the adults ate happily and the children played merrily. Although this fat pig passed away, it brought joy to the people and became a delightful anecdote in the village.
