Why Pigs are Fat

There was a time when pigs were thin. At that time, there lived a princess named Cessy who was the “spoiledest” brat in the whole world. She had everything she needed but these weren’t enough to satisfy her!

One night, as she was seated at the dinner table, she observed all the delicious food displayed on it. She lazily yawned and asked her maid if there was more food even if the table was already full! The spoiled princess started to eat everything served on the table and each time she asked for more food – again and again and again! The maid was about to serve Cessy the 151st batch of food when, to her surprise, there was no one at the table! The princess was nowhere to be found! Then, a strange oink-oink from under the table was heard. The maid bended over and saw this fat pig with Princess Cessy’s rings on its stubby hands.

Up to know, no one really knows what happened to the princess for no one believed the maid who kept on insisting that Cessy became a pig. Despite the mystery, there’s one thing that’s for sure: after that remarkable event, all pigs, for some reason, became fat too.
