The Pig Pen

My favorite story about a pig is a Reading Rainbow choice book, written by Susan Jeschke. The book is entitled "Perfect The Pig".



"PERFECT THE PIG is featured on Reading Rainbow, the acclaimed PBS-TV series celebrating books and reading. Consultants to this award-winning series include the American Library Assocication, the National Education Association, and the National PTA." It is a darling book and one every child should have read to them, no matter what their age! "It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...Perfect the Flying Pig."

My favorite pig is Petunia Pig, the girlfriend of Porky Pig. She was my childhood favorite cartoon character. She is a Warner Brothers cartoon cutie of fame. I have little Golden Books featuring her and a glass which I keep in my china closet.

Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes about pigs....

To Market, To Market
To market, to market to buy a fat pig,
Home again, home again, jiggety-jig;
To market, to market to buy a fat hog,
Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.

This Little Pig
This little pig stayed at home;
This little pig had roast beef;
This little pig had none;
This little pig said, "Wee, wee, wee!"
All the way home.

TEST - please follow directions

YOU MUST NOT SCROLL DOWN! NO CHEATING! YOU MUST DRAW A PICTURE OF A PIG ON A BLANK PIECE OF PAPER FIRST!

THIS IS QUITE INTERESTING! YOU MUST NOT SCROLL DOWN UNTIL YOU DRAW YOUR PICTURE. NO CHEATING, NOW. YOU WILL FIND THIS VERY INTERESTING IF YOU DRAW YOUR PICTURE FIRST!

On a blank piece of paper draw a pig. Then scroll down and read the interpretation of your pig!!

Draw your pig first! And don't look at the next part until you are done! It won't be fun if you look first.

*******************************************************************************

YOU'RE CHEATING! DRAW THE STUPID PIG!!!

*******************************************************************************

The pig serves as a useful test of the personality traits of the artist.
If the pig is drawn:
Toward the top of the paper, you are positive and optimistic.
Toward the middle, you are a realist.
Toward the bottom, you are pessimistic, and have a tendency to behave negatively.
Facing left, you believe in tradition, are friendly, and remember dates (birthdays,etc.).
Facing right, you are innovative and active, but don't have a strong sense of family, nor do you remember dates.
Facing front (looking at you), you are direct, enjoy playing devil's advocate and neither fear nor avoid discussions.
With many details, you are analytical, cautious, and distrustful.
With few details, you are emotional and naive, you care little for details and are a risk-taker.
With less than 4 legs showing, you are insecure or are living through a period of major change.
With 4 legs showing, you are secure, stubborn, and stick to your ideals.
The size of the ears indicates how good a listener you are. The bigger the better.
The length of the tail indicates the quality of your sex life!!!! ( And again more is better!)

OK, who didn't draw a tail?
