It's the Chinese New Year of the Pig! (Tuesday's Truths WK 113)


On this first day of this Chinese Year of the Pig, I thought you would appreciate this passage (short) re Wilbur, the pig from Charolette's Web, a book by E.B. White:

"I worry about Fern. Did you hear the way she rambled on about the animals, pretending that they talked?' (Mrs. Arable the wife of Wilbur's owner speaking about her daughter to her husband.)

''Mr Arable chuckled. '''Maybe they do talk,''' he said. "I've sometimes wondered.

'''I don't think it's normal. You know perfectly well animals don't talk.''' (Mrs. Arable replied).

'''Maybe our ears aren't as sharp as Fern's," "Mr. Avery said."

I featured this passage within an entry here on Blogger a few years ago (2016) when I explained that Cam, the Northern cardinal who used to visit my (featured in the photo directly below, where she is in my garden) always believed that it is important for everyone of us to have sharp ears and she spent time taking care of hers!

CAM

Cam included her philosophy in her volume one of her book series, Words In Our Beak.

Moreover, FAA can also print them on the covers of spiral notebooks and on an array of surfaces for wall art. ALL of these items also make a great Valentine's Day gift and as of this posting, that holiday is nine days away! Info @ http://bit.ly/2Gbyrka
