The dirt pigs in the barnyard all have disc-like snouts, running nimbly. They knee their hind legs when they eat. The pigs can smell me out from a long distance, as well as hear me coming, but they have poor vision. The pigs could not see me even though I stand very close to them. The pigs are not only smart also fascinating creatures. They share a common which is they almost eat all kinds of food just like our human being. The pigs are not filthy as you think. Sometimes they cover themselves with dirt from sunscreen. Every day their jobs are to eat, to sleep, to mate, and to walk around in the barnyard. My pigs are greedy as I have never seen any animals like that. Sometimes they fight for food. One thing that I don't like to hear from them is when they snort. I cannot bear to hear it. I like the way they talk when they say 'oink, oink, and oink’. Every year the pigs produce a lot of piglets for my family. Then my parent sell them to the street market where a mile from our farm. The street market has all kinds of ping meat. Moreover they are fresh because the community here has no modern appliances such as refrigerator.  

Are they correct?

Thank you

"Are they correct?" Why? Are you the author or you do not trust the source?Wink [;)]

The dirt pigs in the barnyard, WHICH all have disc-like snouts, ARE running nimbly. They knee ON their hind legs when they eat. The pigs can smell me out from a long distance, as well as hear me coming, but they have poor vision. The pigs CAN not see me even IF I stand very close to them. The pigs are not only smart BUT also fascinating creatures. IN common WITH EACHOTHER, they almost eat ANY (=WHICHEVER) kind(s) of food, just like HUMANS. The pigs are CLEAN, JUST AS YOU WOULD NOT EXPECT. Sometimes they cover themselves with dirt from sunscreen??. THEIR DAILY ROUTINES ARE eatING, sleepING, AND  matING. THEY  HAVE THE RUN OF the WHOLE barnyard. mY PIGS ARE GREEDY LIKE NOTHING ON EARTH. Sometimes they fight for food. ONE OF THE MOST ANNOYING SOUND THEY GIVE OUT IS WHEN THEY snort. I cannot bear to LISTEN TO it. I like the way they talk, when they say, "'oink', 'oink', and 'oink'".

NICE QUOTATION

YOU ARE FUNNY Yes [Y]

 Every year the pigs produce a lot of piglets for my family. Then my parentS sell them AT the  MARKET (where) a mile AWAY from our farm. THERE YOU CAN GET ALL KINDS OF PORK MEAT. Moreover, they are fresh because the FOLKS here haVE no  refrigerator.?  

BW2/3 , YOU MANAGED TO CHEER ME UP NO END.

Hi Incho

You've done a very good job.

ONE OF THE MOST ANNOYING SOUND ( Shouldn't it be "'sounds"?  I believe it is a typo. )

Hi BW

"What is 'cheer me up no end'?"

you are welcome

It means the powerful and breath-taking style of your writing boosted my mood very much (no end).

It is a compelling story that carries the reader along with ever-increasing interest and clarity.

Remember me to your piglets, please. Wink [;)]

Hi Yong Liat,

Actually 'Yong' is correct, but the Registrar of Births spelt it as 'Yoong', so I'm stuck with 'Yoong' for the rest of my life.

Best regards

I agree with you that BW's story is very entertaining. I also enjoyed reading it. He should continue to write interesting stories.
