到了第二天，观看的人更多了，但是他们更多的是来看农夫的笑话的。演出开始了，两位表演者同时站在了舞台上。小丑表演完毕后，依旧赢得了大家的喝彩。轮到农夫了，只见他装出身上藏有小猪的样子（他确实这么做了），然后偷偷地揪了一下小猪的耳朵，感到疼痛的小猪马上就尖叫起来。可是，观众们都说小丑的叫声要比他的像得多，就要把他赶下舞台。不服气的农夫马上把藏在身上的小猪拿出来，对观众说：“看，这就是最公正的评判者。”
人们经常大肆称赞那些模仿者，而对那些真正的东西不屑一顾！
A rich nobleman once opened the theaters without charge to the people，and gave a public notice that he would handsomely reward any person who invented a new amusement for the occasion.
Various public performers contended for the prize. Among them came a Buffoon well known among the populace for his jokes，and said that he had a kind of entertainment which had never been brought out on any stage before. This report being spread about made a great stir，and the theater was crowded in every part. The Buffoon appeared alone upon the platform，without any apparatus or confederates，and the very sense of expectation caused an intense silence. He suddenly bent his head towards his bosom and imitated the squeaking of a little pig so admirably with his voice that the audience declared he had a porker under his cloak，and demanded that it should be shaken out. When that was done and nothing was found，they cheered the actor，and loaded him with the loudest applause.
