Patches, the Jack Russell, sprinted into the barn. "Primrose, you're having a special treatment today," he said. Primrose, a piglet, asked, "What treatment?" "You're getting shorter," Patches explained. Primrose's tail twitched. "How?" "Your tail!" Patches blurted. Primrose whimpered, loving her tail for its many uses. Beatrice, her mother, sighed from the corner. "Another generation without their wigglers," she grumbled. "Wigglers?" Primrose asked. Beatrice explained that pigs' tails were natural, meant to wiggle and curl. Primrose cried, "But what if I need it?" Beatrice shared humans believed they were better off without them. Patches chimed in about the usefulness of his own tail but resigned, "It's just what happens to pigs."
