Catching Wild Pigs

>> In the midst of his story he looked at the

>> catch wild pigs?'
>>
>> The professor thought it was a joke and asked
>> for the punch line.
>> The young man said this was no joke. 'You catch
>> wild pigs by finding a
>> suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the
>> ground. The pigs
>> find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free
>> corn. When they are
>> used to coming every day, you put a fence down one
>> side of the place
>> where they are used to coming. When they get used
>> to the fence, they
>> begin to eat the corn again and you put up another
>> side of the fence.
>> They get used to that and start to eat again. You
>> continue until you
>> have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in
>> The last side. The
>> pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come
>> through the gate to
>> eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole
>> herd.
>>
>> Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom.
>> They run around and
>> around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon
>> they go back to
>> eating the free corn. They are so used to it that
>> they have forgotten
>> how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they
>> accept their
>> captivity.
>>
>> The young man then told the professor that is
