4. A pig with a wooden leg

Farmer Jones noticed a pig with a wooden leg at his friend's door. He asked curiously, "Fred, how'd that pig get him a wooden leg?" "Well, that's a mighty special pig! Once a wild boar1 attacked me while I was walking in the woods. That pig there came running, chased him away. Saved my life!"

And the boar tore up his leg? "No he was fine then. But a bit later we had a fire near the barn2. The pig started squealing3, woke us up. Before we got here, he had herded the other animals out of the barn and saved them all!" "So that's when he hurt his leg?" "No, he was fine after that, though. When my tractor hit a rock and rolled down the hill into the pond I was knocked clean out. That pig dove into the pond and dragged me out." "And that was when he hurt his leg?" "Oh no, he was fine."

OK, Fred. So just tell me. How did he get the wooden leg? "Well", Fred said "a pig like that, you don't want to eat all at once."

Notes:

1. boar 野猪

2. barn 谷仓，牲口棚

装了一只假肢的猪

农夫琼斯注意到朋友家门口有一只装了木腿的猪，好奇地问：“弗莱德，那头猪为什么有条木头假肢？”“啊，那是一只特别神奇的猪。一次当我在林中散步时，一只野猪攻击了我，它跑过来把野猪赶跑，救了我的命！”

“那么是野猪撕掉了它的腿？”“不，那之后他好好的呢。但是一段时间后我们有过一次火灾，火灾紧挨着牲口棚。那头猪开始尖叫把我们都吵醒了。在我们赶到之前它的叫声就已经把其他牲口赶出了棚子，救了所有的牲口。”“就是那时伤了腿吗？”“不，它当时很好。但有一次我的拖拉机撞上了岩石从山上滚进了池塘，我被撞晕了。它潜进池塘把我拖了出来，救了我的命。”“那么是那时它伤了腿吗？”“噢，不是，它那时很好。”

“好了，弗莱德，就告诉我吧。它是怎样装了木头假肢的？”“啊”，农夫告诉他，“这么好一头猪，你可不想一下子全部吃掉，对吧。”
