A high school student stands at right, in the middle of a pigs' pen. Barn doors pass behind him. He faces left and looks down towards the ground as he rests a hand each to his knee and hip. To the left of him, a large sow lies on the ground and against the pen's fence. About five piglets feed from her. One piglet does not feed and instead walks up to the sow's face. One of the feeding piglets climbs over its siblings.
