The Farmers' Meeting

The farmers had a meeting. It was early morning and lasted until night. There was a lot of animosity toward Mr. Johnson for giving the piglets freedom papers. The other farmers felt this caused the piglets to run away from their farms.

Concerns and Questions

How would they stop the pigs from running away from their farms? Would they need bigger fences, more guards or farmhands, and more restraints? The piglets would feel like jailbirds.

What do you think would happen now if one of their piglets ran away? What would the penalty be? What about freedom town? Will the population grow?

Life in Freedom Town

As a matter of fact, the population was growing. The pigs continued to do all of their daily chores and activities as usual. This caused them to forget all their worries about the farmers' concerns. Life was so good.

Some families built new homes. Others decorated their homes with new colors, but they still had their share of problems.
