George Orwell's The Three Little Pigs

Has it ever crossed your mind that Pigs are incredibly intelligent animals? Although they can be sloppy, they have broad minds and are very sociable with others animals. However, the story of The Three Little Pigs proves this fact otherwise on some terms. In the story, three Pigs are freed into the world to live on their own.
