About this ebook

This delightful, funny story is written from the point of view of pigs! Pigs are the only intelligent life form on a planet called Terra Porkorum, and they are very happy living on Terra Porkorum. In fact, they are so happy, they don’t realize that they are running out of food. Fortunately, they have good friends, some orangutans who come to visit often, especially in the springtime. The orangutans talk about strange beings called humans, who can only walk on two legs. They are so strange that these humans stick little metal things on their ears. They also wrap themselves with things called clothes. The orangutans tell the pigs about things they never heard of before. Things like school, work, cooperation, and how to grow food. The pigs have never gone to school or to work either. But things are about to change on Terra Porkorum! The moral of this story is timeless. Everyone must appreciate and take care of their beautiful planet, assure there is enough food for everyone, and most of all, know the importance of education.
