The Smart Pig

A man was driving through the countryside when he noticed a farm with a very unusual sight: a pig with a wooden peg leg walking around the yard. Intrigued, the man pulled his car over, walked up to the farmhouse, and knocked on the door.
A proud farmer answered. The visitor asked, "Excuse me, sir, but I couldn't help but notice your pig out there. Why does he have a wooden leg?"
The farmer’s face lit up. "Oh, that’s no ordinary pig! That is a very special animal. Let me tell you about him. Last year, I was out plowing the field when my tractor flipped over. I was pinned underneath, suffocating. That pig ran all the way from the barn, dug me out with his snout, and dragged me to safety. He saved my life!"
"Wow, that's incredible!" the visitor said. "But why the wooden leg?"
The farmer continued, "Wait, there's more! Just three months ago, our house caught fire in the middle of the night. That pig broke through the kitchen door, woke up the whole family, and made sure we all got out safely. He's a hero!"
"That is truly an amazing pig," the visitor agreed. "But you still haven't told me why he has a wooden leg."
The farmer looked at the visitor like he was crazy. "Well, look here, fella. A pig that special? You don't eat him all at once!"

A cold, heavy snowstorm hit a rural county, and the local veterinarian was called out to a remote farm in the middle of the night. A prize-winning dairy cow was having a very difficult delivery, and the farmer was desperate for help.
The vet arrived, threw on his coveralls, and got straight to work in the freezing barn. The farmer’s eight-year-old son, curious about all the commotion, came out to the barn, wrapped himself in a heavy blanket, and sat on the top rail of the wooden fence to watch.
The vet worked tirelessly for over two hours in the dim light, pulling, straining, and using all of his strength to assist the cow. Finally, with one massive heave, the vet successfully delivered a healthy, bouncing calf.
The vet wiped his brow, completely exhausted, and looked up at the young boy sitting on the fence. He smiled, wanting to see what the kid thought of the miracle of nature. "Well, son, did you have any questions about what you just saw?"
The boy looked down at the calf, then at the tired vet, and blinked. "Just one. How fast was that calf running when it hit the back of that cow?"
