Once upon a time, a mother pig gave birth to five little piglets. One of the piglets was born with only three legs. “Put it to death,” the villagers said. “It won’t survive anyway, with only three legs.”
An old woman spoke out against the crowd. “Spare the little pig!” she said. “I will take him into my home.” The villagers told her that it was just another mouth to feed and that she would never see any gratitude from a three-legged pig, but the woman was determined. And eventually, the people agreed that the pig could be hers. It wasn’t worth anything anyway.
The old woman wrapped the poor piglet in the shawl from her back and carried it in the crook of her arm, while her other arm leaned on the support of a walking cane. She hadn’t been walking well for many years, herself, and felt sorry for this piglet that would never even have memories of what it’s like to run and jump with all his brothers and sisters. “You’ll be safe with me,” she whispered gently. And the little three-legged pig smiled as it slept nestled in the warmth of her shawl.
A few days passed and the woman tended to thepiglet’s needs. She fed him warm milk from a bottle, made sure that he stayed warm and clean. And as the piglet grew, the woman began to notice good fortune coming her way. At first it was simple things… small items turning up that she thought she had lost, or the ingredients in her pantry never seemed to spoil as fast as they used to. And by the time the piglet learned to stand on his three wobbly legs, the luck became undeniable. One day, her son came to visit with wonderful news that his business was finally doing well! He was making enough sales to fix his house, and was even able to hire more help. As if that wasn’t fortune enough, shortly after the repairs had been made, his wife conceived their first child—something they had been wishing for a long time. It seemed that everything was finally turning in their favor. And as her son embraced her with joy, her eyes fell on the three-legged pig, who sat quietly in the corner, smiling wide and knowingly.
