A Prince or a Pig

Dedicated to my first born son, Spencer.  May you ever choose to become a Prince.

One day there was a little boy who lived with his family on a small farm.

Every day the boy’s Mom would teach him that one day he would become a man. 

She told him that his actions today would choose what kind of man he would become.

She also told him that to become a Prince in the future, he would need to act like a Prince now.  She taught him a prince is kind and generous, and always remembers to think of others.   She taught him that a Prince knows who he really is and remembers that one day he will become a King.”

She also told him he could choose to become a pig.  Pigs were greedy, selfish, and mean.  A pig rarely looks out for other people and doesn’t care how his actions make other people feel inside.  A pig doesn’t know who he really is and has forgotten what he could some day become.

Every day as the little boy grew his mother would remind him to make his choice wisely for today would decide if someday he would become

A Prince or a Pig.

I am open to suggestions for changes if you have any.
