    A pig once made its way into the courtyard of a lordly mansion,where he sauntered at its will around the stables and the kitchen,wallowed in filth,and bathed in slops.Then he returned home from his visit looking every bit of a pig.“Well,Kavronya,what have you seen?”said the swineherd to the pig.“They do say that there is nothing but pearls 1 and diamonds inrich people's houses,and that there each thing is richer than the previous one.“I assure 2 you they talk nonsense,”grunted Kavronya.“I saw no riches at all—nothing but dirt and offal;and yet you may suppose I didn't spare my snout,for I dug up the whole backyard.”

    God forbid that I should hurt any one by my comparison;but how can one help calling those critics Kavronyas who,in whatever they have to discuss,have the faculty 3 of seeing only that which is bad?

    Exercises:

    ① Where did the pig make its way?

    ② What did the swineherd think of rich people's houses?

    ③ What can we learn from this?
