The Pig and the Bat by Cuinn Blair
There was a pig who lived in a farm , whose only true “ friend ” was a mangy old bat . The pig was forged of sun-scorched corn and the bat was made up of thrice-curdled milk . The smell of them both was matched only by that of their booming infernal yelps . They roared and squeaked , neither meek nor weak as the rest of the farm tried to retreat . One only hopes that one or both should have a stroke , and save the poor farm from collapsing on both .
