THE PIG. 
Dear me ! I see no less than ten Pigs in the road ! 
I must own I am not very fond of Pigs, but they 
are much used for food. Pork is not the very 
best kind of meat, for at that time of the year 
when it is very hot, as in June or July, it is apt to 
make any one ill who eats much of it ; a Jew or a 
Turk will not eat it at any time. The Pigs in the 
road look as if they were on the way to some fair 
to be sold ; you see a boy is with them who has a 
long pole in his hand, to poke them on with when 
they stop to rout in the mud, and they are so lazy 
that they need this.
