Once upon a time, in a small kingdom, there lived a handsome prince named Philip. He was rude, disrespectful, and enjoyed hurting people's feelings. He was just like his mother, but not like his father. People hated him because of his behavior.
One day, on a sunny afternoon, Prince Philip decided to take a walk in the kingdom with his friend Henry. As they walked, they bumped into an old man who was ugly, tattered, and feeble. The old man fell to the ground, and Prince Philip didn't care about his condition. Instead, he yelled at the old man and Henry helped him stand.
The old man blessed Henry and cursed Philip. He told him that he would be hunted like an animal by humans for food and would turn into the animal he wished Philip would become. Prince Philip didn't believe him and insulted him more before leaving.
On their way back to the palace, Prince Philip suddenly transformed into a talking pig. Henry was startled and didn't believe what he was seeing. Prince Philip begged Henry to take him to the old man, but Henry couldn't remember where he lived. He promised Philip that he would help him. As they walked, a man saw the pig and offered to buy it from Henry, but he turned him down, saying the pig wasn't for sale. Philip was ashamed, and they started going back into the kingdom to search for the old man. Henry made fun of him, but Philip ignored him.
As they walked into the kingdom, people kept pleading with Henry to sell the pig to them, but he refused. Suddenly, they saw the old man sitting at the church gate with a bowl in his hand. He looked sick, but Henry and Prince Philip went to talk to him. Both of them pleaded with the old man to turn Philip back into a human again. Philip promised the old man that he would be a better person.
The old man smiled and agreed to help Philip, but he gave him some conditions. "From today on, you must do these five things if you don't want to turn back into a pig again. One, you must learn how to greet your elders. Two, you must apologize when you are wrong, especially to your elders. Three, you must respect people. Four, you must learn how to use please when necessary. And five, you will never insult people again. Do these five things and you won't turn back into a pig."
The old man stretched out his hand on Prince Philip and muttered some words. He told them to go, and they left. On their way home, Prince Philip transformed back into himself. He was grateful, and Henry was happy for him.
The next day, Prince Philip went to the church gate with a lot of gifts for the old man. When he got there, he didn't see the old man again. He asked people about him, but no one knew anything about him. Prince Philip went back home, but he kept doing what the old man told him. He gained people's love again.
