As I strolled through Grandma's backyard, the sweet scent of ripe mangoes filled the air. As usual, I expected to find her tending to her beloved garden. But what greeted me was a delightful surprise: Grandma's prized pigs, happily munching on fallen mangoes beneath the tree. I couldn't believe my eyes! Grandma, with a mischievous grin, explained how this pigs had developed a taste for the juicy fruits and eagerly awaited her daily mango feast. It was a quirky sight that warmed my heart and left me chuckling at the unexpected bond between Grandma and her pigs.

Grandma told me, pigs enjoy muddy water because it helps them to regulate their temperature and also protect their skin from sunburn
