CHARLES WRITES LETTER OF LINCON AND THE PIG Dear Juniors: I will now tell you the story of Lincoln and the pig. When Lincoln was going to court he saw a pig stuck fast in a mudpuddle. Lincoln had just bought a new suit. He said "I must get that pig. He took a look at nm siussy im, So he said: "No, I will not spoil my clothes." He went on about a mile. But he was thinking about the pig all the way. He said: "I must get that pig and I will." So he turned his horse and went back where the pig was. He got a couple of rails and placed them where he could reach the pig. Taking it by the fore leg he pulled it out. The pig grunted, "I thank you." He went back light hearted.
