PIGS DRAWN WITH YOUR EYES SHUT.
BLIND PIGS.
The other evening, seated around the table as usual, we had a hearty laugh over a new idea that Bob had learned from one of his school-mates.
"Now you all take a pencil and piece of paper," he directed, "and try to draw a pig with your eyes shut."
"I can't draw a pig with my eyes open," said Mamie.
"That's just the reason," said Bob. "Now look here: begin at the ears, then draw the nose, and go on drawing the legs and the back, and when you think you've got round to the ears again, put in the eye, and then the tail; but you must keep your eyes shut tight."
So we each tried a pig, and—well, I would never eat roast pork or fried ham again if I thought real pigs were shaped like ours.
Just try making one some dull evening, and see if you do not have a good laugh, that is all.
