Pigs is pigs

This is a humorous book about a railroad station agent insisting that the fare for a pair of little guinea pigs is at the same rate as regular farm pigs. "Pigs are pigs," the agent says. By the time the fare dispute has been resolved, the guinea pigs have multiplied so many times that the agent had to stuff them into crates and boxes. This funny story shows what happens when incompetent people and bureaucrats get together and try to figure out things. Ellis Parker Butler was a prominent humorist in the early 20th century. This book would be perfect for both younger and older generations of readers.
