'This is the pig rowing away from the sailors, it is squeeling because it sees the knife & fork.
This is the pig living on Robinson Crusoe's Island. He is still rather afraid of the cook & is looking for the ship through a telescope.
This is the same pig after he has lived ten years upon the island: he has grown very very fat and the cook has never found him.'
