Flower, crown, one, sow: Each year, just before Christmas, one sow is selected among many to wear a crown adorned with flowers. Unknowing of her fate, there is a party in her honor that evening. Near the end, the lights suddenly darken and a lot of noise can be heared. When the lights go on again, the sow has been slaughtered and is ready to be baked for Christmas dinner.
