violated the law by throwing it into the river to save money.
At first, all the changes to the factory’s infrastructure created more revenue. But soon
many stores could no longer sell the factory’s goods at retail. It seemed that the machines
couldn’t make products as well as the workers. The customers were disappointed with the
factory’s merchandise.
There were other problems, too. The animals had told their friends and family to stop buying
the factory’s goods. Officials discovered the factory’s rubbish in the river, and when they
audited the company, they discovered that Pig had manipulated the law in order to get more
money.
All transactions with Pig’s factory stopped. The factory
lost money, and Pig lost his job. He realized his mistakes too
late. He had tried to become rich by saving money any way
possible, but the cheapest way was not always the best.
