Piggies' Stories No. 1 for Xmas
NOTE: Some names have been changed to protect the identity of the original character.
In England once there lived a big and wonderfully clever pig.
To everybody it was plain that Marpig had a massive brain.
She worked out sums inside her head.
There was no book she hadn't read.
She knew what made an airplane fly.
She knew how engines worked and why.
She knew all this, but in the end,
One question drove her round the bend:
She simply couldn't puzzle out,
What LIFE was really all about.
What was the reason for her birth?
Why was she placed upon this earth?
Her giant brain went round and round.
Alas, no answer could be found.
Till suddenly one wondrous night,
All in a flash she saw the light.
She jumped up like a ballet dancer and yelled,
"By gum, I've got the answer!"
"They want my bacon slice by slice to sell at a tremendous price!"
"They want my tender juicy chops"
"To put in all the butcher's shops!"
"They want my pork to make a roast"
"And that's the part'll cost the most!"
"They want my sausages in strings!"
"They even want my chitterlings!"
"The butcher's shop! The carving knife! That is the reason for my life!"
Such thoughts as these are not designed to give a pig great piece of mind.
Next morning, in comes Farmer Bland,
A pail of pigswill in his hand and Marpig with a mighty roar,
Bashes the farmer to the floor…
Now comes the rather grizzly bit,
So let's not make too much of it.
Except that you must understand,
That Marpig did eat Farmer Bland.
She ate him up from head to toe, chewing the pieces nice and slow.
It took an hour to reach the feet because there was so much to eat.
And when she finished, Marpig, of course, felt absolutely no remorse.
Slowly she scratched her brainy head and with a little smile she said,
"I had a fairly powerful hunch that he might have me for his lunch."
"And so, because I feared the worst, I thought I'd better eat him first."

Guess the Movie
Suddenly, a phrase pops into Marpigz mind:
"That'll do..."
Been thinking bout which movie it is from until todae when Marpig came across a book... Trying guessing the movie and giving the answer in the comments!
Hint: The scene depicts an old farmer looking at smthing kindly and saying the phrase...

To Santa: DESPERATE WISHLIST
Dear Santa-who-never-visits-Marpig,
Marpig wishes for:
1) Charlie & the Chocolate Factory DVD
2) Corpse Bride DVD
3) Mary Poppins DVD
4) Classic (i.e., those old old animation, not contemporary ones) Disney Feature Animation DVDs such as Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Bambi
4) Age of Mythodology: The Titans Expansion
5) Age of Empires III (Newly released)
6) Infinity number of wishes
Marpig is really not sure if you will include Marpig in your delivery list although for the past 24 years you haven and Marpig WILL not blame you since you might have difficulty getting out of your house with tt huge sack of presents (of cos, your belly will have to come out of the house before the sack).
Marpig understands that you travel far among the wintery cold (and itz a wonder you didnt freeze along the way).
Marpig understands tt Singapore might be too hot for you to travel to (where all your fats might melt and pollute the seas), thus, Marpig has since moved to London. Itz pretty damn cold for Marpig already so Marpig sincerely hopes tt this Xams you will manage to deliver ALL, if not some of the 6 items listed above (sequence of words is correct, no typo).
BTW, although there isnt any chimmney, you can try smashing the windows beside Marpigz bed, slot the presents into the post or even stuff them down the pipes leading to the bathroom and Marpig shall collect them at the other end (mind you, the other end is where most of our ends meet it)
*whispers* Although you haven been visiting Marpig for the past 24 years, Marpig still believes in you ok! HMF!
Thank you Santa,
Love,
Marpig
