Pig swears to not lend even a thing


“What’s going on?” Robert said as he heard a loud argument from the next farm.

The voice became louder making him and I rapidly ran to the fence and focused our ears.

“What are they talking about?” Robert asked.

“Well, it is about money,” I replied. “Someone borrowed their money, and they didn’t pay back.”

“How can they do that? It’s not their money.”

“It’s nothing humans can’t do, especially bad things.” I strolled back to the garden.

Robert walked after me and asked me, “You seem to acknowledge this matter.”

“I know a lot about it,” I told. “I read the news and I listened to humans talking, there are a lot of money issues nowadays. Everywhere. A lot of people are in debt to the banks. Also, they are in debt to their relatives and friends. Most of them don’t pay back, and the lenders fall into big trouble. Recently, in Cambodia, there have been a few crime cases related to this issue - the debtors killed the lenders when they asked for their money back.”

“Oh god! They borrowed their money and they dared to kill the owner of the money!”

“Yes! It’s human. As well, the animals can do that too.”

Robert chuckled, “Animals don’t use money.”

“Yes, but they can borrow other things besides money and they can do the same like the humans do towards their kind. Because I know about it, I don’t lend anything, even food; I give them if I feel I want to; if I don’t want to, I will say I don’t have.”

“I see.” Robert wagged his head.
