The Tragic Story of the Double Life of Citizen-Consumer
Blue Beard Industry alternatively flogs poor Pig Sister and fattens it by injecting hormones; Coward Consumer, binging ham, stands next to the scenery but behaves as if he hasn't to do anything with this by looking away and whistling. Government Servant runs nervously from one side of the dark and stinking shed to the other screaming out regulations and lawlike formula. Pig Sister screams and screams for his Sister Anna. Finally, just when the pigs is on the brink of collapsing, Knight Citizen on her white horse appears, and with one mighty blow of her civilian courage pierces Blue Beard; the government servant suddenly realizes its legitimized task and fines the dead body, and Coward Consumer grudgingly delves into his moneybag. There he finds his mirror image: Knight Citizen. They embrace each other. The Happy End.
