Each king was angry at what the other had said. “What did you mean,” Asked the second king, “by saying, ‘sending a blue pig with a black tail, or else——’?” “Why,” said the first king, “I could mean only one thing. I meant that I wanted you to send me a blue pig with a black tail, or else a pig of some other color.” “Oh, that was all, was it? I did not get the whole of your message,” answered the second king. “______!” “He ______.” “Ah, but I must know what you meant by your reply to my message,” asked the first king. “You said, ’I haven’t one; if I had——’” “Why, my answer is very clear. I meant that I hadn’t one; if I had, I should have sent it to you.” “Well, well!” said the first king, “We have been fighting about nothing. If we had only explained these things before the war started, then this ______ war must have been ______.” So the great war of the blue pig with the black tail was ______ in the histories of the two countries in order to ______ such a war happening again.
