The story I'm going to tell is how the saying 'a dog ruins the work of the pig' comes out. Why did this story come out? A long time ago, a family bred a pig and a dog at home. One day, the house owner ordered both the pig and the dog to go to the farm. He told them, "Go to the farm and plough there!" He told them to work there. As soon as they arrived at the farm, the dog went to the shadow, took out his tongue and slept there. The pig was hardworking and ploughed the farm. It finished ploughing soon. It told the dog, "My friend, let's go home. The work is done. Wake up! Let's go home." It woke the dog up. The dog woke up at that time and ran on the farm, which the pig had ploughed. His footprints were on the farm. After that, they went back home. The house owner asked them, "Have you finished ploughing?" They answered, "Yes, we have." He asked them, "Did both of you work?" They said, "Yes, both of us ploughed it together. You can go and check." When the house owner went to the farm, he saw only the dog's footprints. Then he thought, "Only the dog has worked." In fact, the dog erased the pig's footprints and left his footprints. That's why the dog can eat rice from the same pot where people eat. The dog has had the chance to eat rice from the same pot that people eat. The dog can live with people in the same shelter. He didn't see any footprints of pig, so he fed only leftovers to it. The pig had to stay inside a sty and was killed as food for people. We have learned about it through this story. Therefore, people who don't work hard, destroy others' work, are lazy, work lazily, dabble in others' work are compared to the dog. They are compared to the dog. The dog ruins the work of the pig. We use this story to teach people who are like the dog. We told our children and grandchildren not to behave like that dog. This story teaches people not to behave like the dog.
