The story "Pigs is Pigs" is a humorous short story written by American author Ellis Parker Butler, first published in 1905. The story takes place at a railway station where a shipment of two guinea pigs is received, and the clerk in charge of the station, Mr. Mike Flannery, gets into a dispute with the company over the classification of the guinea pigs. The company insists that the guinea pigs should be classified as "livestock" and charged a higher rate, while Flannery argues that they are pets and should be charged a lower rate. The dispute drags on for weeks, during which time the guinea pigs multiply rapidly, causing chaos at the station. Butler's story is a satire on bureaucracy and the absurdities of classification systems. It is often cited as an example of his mastery of comic writing and his ability to create memorable characters. The story has been adapted into several films and stage productions over the years and is still widely read and enjoyed today.https://zzz.media/78Facebook - Instagram - YouTube - PatreonBackground Music Provided by THE SLEEP CHANNEL from Spotifyhttps://sptfy.com/MNb7Looking for a Headset you can wear while you sleep?https://www.sleepphones.com/Try out SleepPhones today!
