Turning of the Tides

Once upon a time there lived a family of piggies on the banks of the river Ganges, in Howrah. As is usual, they lived in the dirt and squalor of a dumping ground made by the neighboring factories and slums.

One day as the tide was ebbing; the piggies decided to go on an adventure and dived into the river. They swam out to the mouth of the Ganges and the tide pushed them out further, into the Bay of Bengal.

They swam ashore and walked up the beaches of a 5 star resort in Mondarmoni. They went in and ordered themselves the deluxe suite at the resort for the night.

The man at the reception laughed and asked them “But do you have the money to pay for the room?”

And the piggies replied, “Of course! Why don’t you turn us around and look in our belly?”

To the utter disbelief of the man, the piggies indeed had coins in there. He took the money and lent them the suite.

The piggies had a fabulous time at the resort, lapping up the sun, swimming in the sea and eating good food.
