PIGGY PORK AND CATHERINE CAT
"There have been a spate of copycat robberies in this neighbourhood", grunted Piggy Pork.
"The cat burglar could only be my neighbour, Catherine Cat, it looks like a feline handiwork!"
"That's hogwash! Don't be so pig-headed! Do you have any proof, you dork?!"
"There's more than one way to skin a cat!" insisted Mrs. Pork, "Let's take her to the pigeons!
She won't have a cat in hell's chance to escape judgement, hope they throw her into the dungeons!"
Cat is thrown among the pigeons who preside over a jury.
Midway through, Piggy Pork ambles in apologetically with her pearl necklace, much to everyone's fury
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I found my necklace in the pigswill. Catherine Cat…I'm truly sorry…"
"That's what happens when you cast pearls before a swine,
You made me a guinea-pig for your carelessness, my reputation reduced to a dime…"
Catherine Cat is found faultless and acquitted.
She walks away like a cat that's got the cream, the compensation for damage done—Piggy's necklace around her neck fitted.
