His Best Friends

In Eighteen Seventy Eight , P. T. Barnum established his famous circus, and Pigeon Point Lighthouse, which about a century later would have its vicinity patrolled by a Pig named Lester, appeared in Pescadero , silently promising to prevent ships running aground on the rocks. One evening , Franklin did nothing to interrupt this by saying 'Barnum was right. Sucker born every minute. You warn all those ships but you never warned me. Oh I know. My issues are outside your remit. Oh , hallo Lester. I'm not troubling it. Just chatting. How about some potato rinds? Lester snorted appreciatively.
