The Pig and the Chicken
Mark 12:41-44

A discussion was taking place in Farmer John's barnyard between a pig and a chicken. The pig said, "I've noticed that Farmer John is walking around very depressed these days. The farm isn't doing so well, and he seems very upset. Let's think of some way we could cheer him up." "I know," said the chicken. "He loves to eat, so let's fix him a great big breakfast! How does ham and eggs sound?" The pig pondered a moment and then said, "Well, the breakfast idea sounds good but the menu bothers me a bit." "Why is that?" the chicken asked. The pig responded, "That breakfast represents a single donation on your part, but of me it requires a personal sacrifice."
