Snorfle the House Pig

Meet Snorfle

Tempest in a teapot,
Red’s socks in his shoes,
A Valley full of Daffodils
What’s a child to do?

Snorfle's here to nuzzle you,
He's got something up his sleeve,
Robin writes the silly tales,
To make you laugh and sneeze.
Snorfle’s Home’s for everyone
We’re here both night and day.
Drop by when you have the time
To read, and sing and play.



SNORFLE THE HOUSE PIG
by
Robin Hall

Snorfle was a beautiful baby. His sister and brother and father and mother and grandfathers and grandmothers were all beautiful too. And smart. And they are not just beautiful outside they are beautiful inside as well. All pigs are taught at a very early age that outer beauty is a gift, but inner beauty must be earned and takes much work.

Part of this work is their wonderful knowledgeof the history of their Clan, the Vietnamese potbellied pig. Every pig learns the history, myths, and legends of pigdom all the way back to the mother and father of all pigs, Thanh and Cadao, for a pig with a history knows he or she has a place in the world and knows where love comes from.So by the time pigs are two weeks old, each one knows the story of how Thanh and Cadao met, fell in love, married and had a family.

When he was three weeks old Snorfle learned to talk to other pigs and began to understand the history of humans and other animals. Young pigs learn that human history was sometimes very dark. And the way they treated pigs was unspeakable.

But for some people, and their numbers are growing, an open heart is helping them to have a better relationship to pigs and other animals.Which brings us back to Snorfle and his family. Their mission is to help bring more love into the hearts of humans.

When Snorfle was four weeks old, a very special part of his training began. Snorfle was learning to enchant humans. As with all pigs, Snorfle learned to extend his love and beauty all around him. Humans are naturally affected, and if their hearts are open, they are enchanted.

Finally at eight weeks old, it was Snorfle’s turn to adopt his human family. Now Snorfle was born on a beautiful small farm near Cassadega which was owned by the Birdsong family. Snorfle was very lucky. So were Jerry and Cary Cherry, but they did not know it yet. The boy’s mother Merry Cherry had had her heart opened by a potbellied pig named Winston who lived near the Cherry’s home in Lake Swenson, so when Merry Cherry saw the Birdsong’s announcement of a pig open house, the stage was set.

When Sunday came, Merry Cherry, her husband Red Cherry and the twins Jerry and Cary Cherry all piled into their van and set off for Cassadega. Snorfle was waiting for them.

For pigs begin learning telepigathy at 5 weeks so they can understand humans and so they can contact pigs all over the world. As they get older and stronger, they can join the PIG GRAND COUNCIL, but that is another story.

All the Cherrys were very excited when they drove into the the Birdsong’s driveway for while one pig is full of love and beauty, dozens of pigs are overwhelming and love extends outward as far as hearts can hear.

Of course it was love at first sight. Jerry, Cary, Merry and Red Cherry were instantly enchanted by Snorfle and vice-versa.After a bit of bargaining by Red and Mr. Birdsong, humans feel compelled to buy and sell precious things, Snorfle got into the van and went home with the Cherrys.

The neighbors knew something wonderful had happened. Snorfle’s love and beauty are quite powerful, and the Cherry house was filled with joy.

And this is how he became Snorfle the House Pig at 1440 Highridge Rd., in beautiful Lake Swenson and had many adventures with his newly adopted family Jerry, Cary, Merry and Red Cherry.

The End, for now.
