A stingy peasant built a latrine so that the sewage, pouring into the barnyard, would partially end up in the pigs' feeder.
One day, a goat, grazing behind a fence on lush green grass, could not stand the disgusting sight of the feeding pigs and addressed them with contempt with the following speech:
- How can you lose your face and eat this vile liquid, the mere smell of which can kill a bird in flight?
At that time, in this herd of pigs, the Wise Pig was visiting her aunt, who was making a pilgrimage to India and stopped here to rest and gain strength before the long journey. She answered the goat with the following words:
“Food that seems disgusting to you does not contradict our nature, but strengthens it.” So you, while happily eating grass, will not eat the soil that serves as food for plants, and a pack of hungry dogs will always prefer your meat to the juiciest and most delicious greens...
So in the world of people, what is not suitable for one can bring invaluable benefit to another.
