The Doll and the Little Porcelain Pig
One day, Pangpang brought home a little porcelain pig and placed it on the toy shelf. That night, the toys on the shelf started chattering loudly. “Hey, where did this ugly creature come from? It’s bald and has a little hole in its back.” The one making the most noise was the pretty doll.
The beautiful doll shouted, “Why did our little owner put this ugly thing next to me? Could it be more valuable than I am?” The kind little dog overheard and said, “Woof woof! Hmph, don’t look down on others and bully it just because it’s quiet. It’s a friend that our little owner brought home, so it should be our friend too. Regardless of its value, you shouldn’t despise it.”
The doll twirled her dress and said, “I’m prettier than it is, so I must be more valuable. I certainly won’t be friends with it!” The noise from the toys woke up the old book on the bookshelf.
The old book said, “The little dog is right. A person shouldn’t be judged by their appearance. Outer beauty or ugliness doesn’t matter; what’s important is a person’s inner value. Although the little porcelain pig doesn’t have a beautiful appearance, it has inner value. If you don’t believe me, take a look.”
The little porcelain pig shyly shook its body, and a clinking sound was heard. “Clink, clink—hey, where is that sound coming from?” Everyone turned to look at the little porcelain pig.
The old book told everyone, “The little porcelain pig is the little owner’s piggy bank. It helps the little owner save all his pocket money to donate to the Hope Project for children in need.” Knowing the little porcelain pig’s purpose, everyone gave it a thumbs up. The doll lowered her head in shame. “I’m sorry, little porcelain pig. I won’t make fun of others anymore.” Everyone smiled knowingly.
As the sun rose, the toy shelf became quiet again. From that day on, there were no more arguments in Pangpang’s house, and all the toys became good friends.
