Pig Likes to Paint – level 2

Pig Likes to Paint

15-07-2021 15:00

People saved a sow in South Africa from slaughter, and now she lives in an animal sanctuary. Her keeper noticed that she was very intelligent, so the keeper gave her a few balls and paintbrushes.

The keeper noticed that the sow was interested in the paintbrush, and that she likes paint. People now call the sow ‘Pigcasso’ for her talent and love for painting. Her work is abstract expressionism.

Difficult words: sow (an adult female pig), slaughter (the killing of animals for food), sanctuary (a safe place).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
