Once upon a time, there was a little pig named Peter who lived on a beautiful farm. Peter was the farmer’s pet, with a rosy face and shiny little eyes.
One day, Peter spotted a large mirror in the farmyard. It was the biggest mirror he had ever seen. Curious, he approached it, and the pig in the mirror smiled back at him.
Seeing his own reflection made Peter happy, but he began to wonder if he could look even better. So, he started making funny faces, wiggling his ears, curling his tail, and even jumping up and down.
No matter how hard he tried, though, the pig in the mirror mimicked his every move, as if making fun of him. Peter felt puzzled and couldn’t understand why the pig in the mirror kept copying him.
In the end, he decided to give up and went back to the other animals on the farm. They smiled at him and said, “Peter, you don’t need to look any better because you’re already the cutest little pig we know.”
Peter felt very happy and learned an important lesson: that he should cherish himself and be loved and accepted for who he was. From that day on, he didn’t worry about the pig in the mirror anymore, knowing that his true worth was not just in his appearance but in his heart.
