The people of Flomborn found the slaughter cattle levy levied by the occupiers after the Second World War to be too high. This tax was measured by live weight. When it was the pigs' turn, the villagers led the same pig to the scales each time until it completed the procedure almost independently. The pig was the leanest in the entire village, so the taxes were very low.
