re: #105 Feline Emperor of the Conservative Waste

OK, I’ll spoil it. But it’s still worth reading.
In Ancient China…
1. Farmer’s barn burns down with pig inside
2. Son accidently pokes finger into cooked/burnt pig
3. Son licks burnt fingers and discovers excellent taste
4. Repeat of #2 and #3 - done on purpose
5. Rest of family converted after some plot development
6. Family and other farmers start burning down barns with pigs inside
7. Profit!!!

Well, that begs the question: why was the farmer keeping a pig in the first place? What other use would they have for it if they didn’t eat it?
