The wise Pig was asked:
- Why do you put your feet in the food when you eat?
“I love to feel food not only with my mouth, but also with my body,” answered the wise Pig. “When, when I’m full, I feel the touch of food on my legs, I get double pleasure from it.”
- What about the manners inherent in a decent upbringing?
- Manners are for others, but pleasure is for yourself. If the basis of pleasure comes from my nature, then pleasure itself brings benefit,” explained the Wise Pig.
- But manners are also useful!
“When manners bring me more benefit than pleasure, I don’t put my feet in food,” the pig answered proudly and went about her business.
