Explanation:
The answer is a "Pig."
Until his grandson presents him with a Pig, Kibuka remains uncertain about the value of life.
In “The Pig,” Kibuka is the protagonist. His grandson surprises him with a Pig. It was an unexpected gift.
Lynda Metcalf, the author of “The Pig,” describes the moment: “Kibuka was more delighted than ever. He had never seen so small a pig before, and he spent a good ten minutes marveling at its tiny twinkling eyes, its minute hoofs, and its wisp of a tail. When his grandson drove away, he waved happily from the doorstep, the piglet clutched tenderly to his chest.”
The bond between Kibuka and the pig can be described as one of fascination.
