There was a man who loved to show off his possessions. One day, after acquiring a new shirt, he put it on and stood outside his door, hoping someone would pass by and compliment him. He stood there all afternoon, but nobody noticed him, and he felt quite sad. Suddenly, a hurried passerby ran up to him and asked loudly:
– Have you seen my pig run by here?
The man then lifted the hem of his shirt and replied:
– Since I put on this new shirt and stood here, I haven’t seen any pig run by!
