The Chicken and the Pig

Common card · No. 443580

The business fable of The Chicken and the Pig is about commitment to a project or cause. When producing a dish made of eggs with ham or bacon, the pig provides the ham or bacon which requires their sacrifice and the chicken provides the eggs which are not difficult to produce. Thus the pig is really committed to that dish ("has skin in the game"), while the chicken is only involved, yet both are needed to produce the dish.
