Hamlet is a little pig that just doesn't seem to fit in. His mother and father don't understand why he wants them to read to him, and his sister teases him because he writes poems. So one evening after supper he wanders off to the nearby pond and spots his reflection looking back at him. Hamlet imagines this other pig to be his "twin" and starts reading his poems to him. The moral of self-assurance is gently realized as Hamlet finds his audience. Every pig has a dream, right?
