SUNDAYS TWO-CENTS WORTH: #35:




Since today is the Orthodox Palm Sunday, I thought that I would post on something pleasant. So after much soul searching and pondering, I have decided to post on


PORK CHOPS:


Well sort of any way. Let me explain:


In a California zoo, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Sadly, due to complications during the pregnancy (the cubs were born prematurely) and due to the tiny size of the cubs, they died shortly after birth.


After recovering from the delivery, the mother tiger started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarian concluded that the loss of her litter had caused the mother tiger to fall into a depression. The Veterinarian decided that if the tiger could surrogate another mother’s cubs, perhaps she would improve.


Well, after checking with many other zoos across the country, the news wasn’t good, there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veterinarian made the decision to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of the infant offspring of a different species. The only orphans’ that could be found quickly were a litter of weanling piglets. The zoo keeper and the vet wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed them around the mother tiger.


Now, the question is, will they become cubs or will they become pork chops? Take a look for yourselves; you won’t believe your eyes!!




Now, please tell me one more time… why the rest of the world can’t get along?
