# 2 Tongan Farmers Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
leo_walsh 22:52 UTC 17 Mar 2009 | Two Tongan farmers from a small town in the countryside were walking home together after each purchased a pig. One said to the other "How are we going to tell them apart?" The other answered, " We'll cut the left ear off of yours." After a while the pigs got in a fight and after they had both bitten off each other's ears. "Now what are we going to do?" one asked to the other. "We'll cut the tail off of mine." A little while later the pigs got in another fight and at the end of it they both were missing their tails. "What will we do now?" one asked again. After giving it some thought one said "We'll cut the leg off of yours." "That is not humane!" the other cried. So after some more thought he said "Well, lets just call the white one yours and the black one mine." |
