What is the theme of the following story? How do you know? What elements of plot help develop the theme? Mr. Pig and Mr. Dog were relaxing at the food court of the animal shopping mall. Mr. Pig was eating a huge feast of pizza and drinking a large jug of fruit punch. Mr. Dog was watching him eat. "Hey, Mr. Pig. If you give me a slice of your pizza, I'll let you have the next bone I find." Mr. Pig declined, even though it hurt his stomach to eat the last three slices of pizza. "I'm sorry, Mr. Dog," Mr. Pig said between grunts, "but I paid for this pizza and it's all mine." Mr. Dog sighed and waited for Mr. Pig to finish. Then they left the animal mall together. On the way out, a hunter spotted them and gave chase. Mr. Pig normally could have escaped the hunter, but he was weighed down by the large meal. Mr. Pig collapsed and the hunter seized him. Mr. Dog easily escaped. Later that night, Mr. Dog returned to the scene. He caught the scent of something delicious and began digging around a trash can. He found a large ham bone with lots of meat and marrow still stuck to it. Mr. Dog happily ate.

The theme of this story is "don't be greedy".

We can reach this conclusion from the way Mr. Pig acts. He was selfish as he ate although he was already satisfied instead of giving some to Mr. Dog .

The elements of the plot that help us identify the theme are the characters, the setting, and the conflict. We have two characters located in a shopping center. One of them did not want to share his food because he had paid for it. Then he died because of his selfishness.
