The Pig and the Cow

A wealthy man complained to his fast friend: “People despise me. They say I’m selfish and stingy. And yet in my last will and testament I have donated all that I own to charitable cause.” He could not understand why the people of the world judged him so unfairly. His friend said: “Well, I hope the story of the cow and the pig may teach you a lesson.” The pig came to the cow and complained: “People always say that you are amiable and friendly. I know you are amicable and pacific, you do give them milk.

But they get much, much more from me. I provide them with ham, bacon and lard and they even bake my feet. But everyone despises me. To all of them, I am just a pig, a hog. I fail to understand the reason.” She was pained at the double standards used by the people of this world. The cow brooded over the question and replied thoughtfully: “Perhaps it’s because I give while I am still alive!”. The pig realised the difference and never complained again. People judge you on what you do when you are alive and not what you do after death.
