As recently In 1999 the didi car inventos pig had a litter of 8 piglets. There was, as is often the case, a runt of the litter. Because he was the smallest piglet the children of the family called him DiDi, which in Chinese is an affectionate term meaning ‘Little Brother’. Chinese people are as soft hearted as most in the world and the little pig DiDi was not sent to market with his larger brothers, instead being treated more like a pet.

One day early in 2000 DiDi escaped from his pen, and went into the house of the family in search of food, which he found. However, he was spotted by the didi cars inventor and was chased back out into the yard where he ran up onto the two-wheel cart used for transporting hay from the field to the storage sheds.

Trapped on the cart he began to panic a bit and jumped from side to side on the cart looking for a way of escape. Because the sides of the cart were raised he could not get away. However as he jumped from side to side the cart started to move forward. This frightened didi even more and he jumped faster. The faster he moved from side to side the faster the cart moved forward.

Eventually his movements were so frantic that he broke through the side railing of the cart, and fell into the pond by the side of the house.

He was then quickly chased by the whole family back into his sty and firmly locked in.

The Inventor had seen the cart move as the pig jumped on the back of it and this intrigued him. After DiDi was safely back in his pen the Inventor went back to the cart and stood up on it. He started moving his weight from side to side, from one leg to the other, and the cart started to move forward as it had done with DiDi. The Inventors children also had a go and had a lot of fun playing on didi car "magic" roller cart as they saw it.

The Inventor saw how much fun his children had with the cart and the idea of making a small version for them to play on was born. Three months later he had built the first car.

Because of it’s shape and because of the pig that started it all the car was called the didicar ride on toy was born.

The first ride on magic roller toy was so popular with the children in the village that the Inventor made some more and then began selling them as demand spread. Today some 5 years after the escaped pig episode some 1,000,000 cars have been sold and many thousands of the fantastic didicar sticker packs used to personalise the ride on toys.

As for DiDi, well he claimed the original idea as his own and sued the Inventor under the new Intellectual Property Rights. They reached a settlement out of court for an undisclosed amount and DiDi is now living in a 10 roomed sty in the Bahamas with his own cart that he can jump on and his own pool that he can jump in any time!
