Content : In the heart of Oceania stretched Papua. In the shadow of its dense forest, the village of young Tahirou lived in perfect harmony.
Never a quarrel, never a conflict—until the day terrible pirates landed on the island...

Soon, the pirates reached the gates of the village. The siege began. Though provisions were plentiful at first, a time came when they grew scarce. Only one pig remained to feed the village... But that pig belonged to Tahirou. There was no way they could eat his pig friend.

During the night, the boy set him free.

On their side, the pirates were in terrible shape—they could not find enough to eat in the jungle. At dawn, when they saw the pig, they completely misunderstood: the Papuans must be mocking them! They must be sending a pig as a message—that their supplies are overflowing.

The pirates, humiliated, decided to lift the siege and leave.

Tahirou’s village was saved—and so was the pig!
