water of a pond. He found he looked so
ugly that he started to cry, and his
tears soon obscured his image. Then he
heard a voice from above:
"No creature is more beautiful than
you are, pig," it said.
"That's not true!" cried the pig. "I
am even uglier than a toad!"
"But there's nothing more beautiful
than a toad," the voice replied.
"You see! You're contradicting
yourself! A toad and I can't both be
the most beautiful of creatures at the
same time."
"All my creatures are most beautiful
to my eyes, and all at the same time,"
the voice said.
It was then that the pig understood
he was talking to God. He looked again
at his reflection in the water, and
this time his heart felt light and
there was a smile on his face.
