It requires much care and knowledge to carry and nurture a child in the womb and to bring it to birth. A pig and a dog were arguing about successful delivery, when the dog said that she alone among the four-footed creatures delivers quickly. The pig answered, ‘But know when you say this that you give birth to blind offspring.’ The story shows that matters are judged not in terms of their spe<‘d, but in terms of their perfection.
