A traveling salesman stopped at a farm and saw a pig with a wooden leg sleeping on the front porch. When he got out of his car the pig awoke and greeted him with a grunt, walking up and wagging his little curly tail and in general acting just like a pet dog. The salesman noticed the pig walked with a slight limp and then discovered it was because the pig had a wooden hind leg. Totally charmed by the little pig, the salesman knocked on the door and when the farmer answered, he asked him if the pig was for sale. "I'd love to take this little fella home to my kids. They'd love him." The farmer said, "We love him, too and the pig is not for sale at any price. He's a hero to our family. Last month our house caught on fire and the pig went from room to room, waking us all up and warning us to get out of the house. Thanks to him we were able to save our home." The salesman then said, "So I guess that's how he lost his hind leg, in the fire?" The farmer answered, "No, the pig was not hurt in the fire." The salesman then asked, "So what happened to his leg?" The farmer answered, "Well, when you've got a valuable pig like that you don't want to eat him all at once."
