Hic the Pig

Rufus Rides a Catfish, and Other Fables from the Farmstead, Fable #3

One of the noblest creatures to ever live on Rufus the Cat’s farmstead was Hic the Pig. He was a pig of modest means and very few words. In fact, he would not speak at all unless there was something to say. This humble characteristic was one that Rufus admired very much, especially when he considered the behavior of the dog. There was one very strange thing about Hic though, that made him unique in the world of domesticated farm animals, but nothing Rufus couldn’t handle … naturally.

This booklet is the third in a series of ten fables aimed at inspiring young minds and encouraging thoughtful discussion. Each book contains a student worksheet with ten vocabulary words (selected from the story) and five thought-provoking questions suitable for teacher-guided discussions. A Teacher’s Guide booklet for this series is available and highly recommended.
