Why the Warthog is Ugly
A Story from East Africa – Part Two
Meanwhile, Warthog enjoyed a good meal, followed by a drink at the waterhole and a long wallow in the mud. Then along came Lion. Warthog was feeling so pleased with himself that he couldn’t resist telling Lion how scruffy his mane looked, compared to his own fine bristles. “I’ll teach you not to be rude to me,” roared Lion angrily. Warthog realised he was in trouble. He clambered out of the water as fast as he could and ran towards home with Lion at his heels.

As Warthog came in sight of his den, he breathed a sigh of relief. He shot inside, thinking he was safe. Unaware that there was a visitor inside, he crashed straight into Porcupine and got a face-full of sharp quills. Out he came again, howling with pain.
“Let that be a lesson to you,” said Lion as he walked away.
It took Warthog a long time to remove Porcupine’s quills. None of the other animals would help because he’d been rude to them all. To his dismay, his swollen face was left covered in ugly warts and bumps.
From that day, Warthog lost his handsomeness – and always entered his den backwards!
