Everyone on the farm thinks Thomas and Joseph are sloppy, dim-witted pigs. Thomas and Joseph are content, but the other animals are not. The hens want the pigs to paint their pen, the rabbit wants them to eat healthier food, and the duck wants them to dig a water hole andtake a bath.
Even though the other animals try to show them how it's done, the pigs can't seem to do anything right. Maybe being lazy isn't as dumb as it seems.
