Mother pig steps on her piglet’s stomach and opens up a wound. Grandma Vera, who is a seamstress, takes the piglet into her care. She carefully sews up his wounds, creating beautiful patterns of old Slavic tablecloths on his skin.

Mama pujsa stopi na trebuh svojega pujska in odpre rano. Babi Vera, ki je šivilja, ga zato vzame k sebi. Pozorno zašije njegove rane in mu na koži ustvari čudovite vzorce starih slovanskih prtičkov.
