The pig named Cloe was the most respected among domestic animals in Goroshyno village. Being a careful mother of her large family, Cloe managed everything – to feed the little piglets, to clean up in the stable, to look well and to chat with friends from other farms. The first question she was always asked when meeting others was: “How do you manage everything?” To this, Cloe only oinked and smiled. She was pleased to be necessary and useful. Her great and generous heart never let her pass by a suffering being.

So one day, returning from a neighbor’s garden with freshly dug turnips, Cloe noticed in the grass near the fence a small lump of life, which made the squeaky sounds. The good-natured mother moved apart the grass to better examine the creature, and exclaimed plaintively when the baby started to move:

– How did you get here? And where is your mom?

The baby, apparently, was a newborn. He was still blind. He was so small that the pig could not find out what kind of animal he belongs to.

– Whose baby is this? – Several times loudly asked Cloe.

But there was no one nearby. So the pig, in the motherly way, gently took the creature by the scruff and carried it to her stable, where she was waiting for a dozen more piglets.

The mother pig put her find next to the other children, and she lay down on her side, so that they could drink milk. The piglets, pushing each other, quickly tried to take the best places and began to suck as hard as they could. They smacked lips loudly at the same time, creating a pleasant noise that lulled Cloe. Her eyes became heavy, when suddenly she saw that the baby she had found could not get to her, because the other piglets did not want to give up the occupied places. Then the mother pig took one of the biggest piglets by the scruff and pushed it away.
