  1. THEPIGGYBANK BY:RICHARD

  2. Dogs bury bones. Squirrels gather nuts to last through the winter. Camels store food and water so they can travel many days across deserts. But do pigs save anything? No! Pigs save nothing. They bury nothing. They store nothing. So why do we put our coins in a piggy bank? The answer: Because someone made a mistake. 1. During the Middle Ages, in about the fifteenth century, metal was expensive and used for seldom household wares. Instead, dishes and pots were made of an economical clay called pygg. Whenever housewives could save an extra coin, they dropped it into one of their clay jars. They called this their “pygg” bank or their “pyggy” bank. Over the next two hundred to three hundred years, people forgot that “pygg” referred to the earthen ware material. In the nineteenth century when English potters received requests for “pyggy” banks, they produced shaped banks like a pig. Of course, the pigs appealed to the customers and delighted children.
