Capturing a Pink Pig

by Tatiana

We are driving to the Pittsburgh airport. It is snowing. Let me introduce myself. My name is Tatiana Ballreich. My crew and I are going to Hawaii on a mission to find and capture the exotic flying PINK pig. After driving through this icy snowstorm in the mountains of Pennsylvania, we will take an airplane to Hawaii. From the airport in Hawaii, a waiting helicopter will take us to our hideout, which is located deep in the rainforest jungle of Hawaii. We finally get to the hideout, and then we discuss our final plans to find and capture the exotic flying PINK pig. We plan to use bait for the capture. We will tie a beehive to a tree because bees are the exotic pig's favorite food. They eat the bees and not the bees' honey. When the PINK pig falls for the bait of bees, we the crew will cast a net over the PINK pig from the helicopter. Once we trap it with the net, we will load it onto a truck and transport the PINK pig to the airport and then by airplane to San Francisco and to the San Francisco Zoo. It is not easy to capture one of these creatures. There are problems. They are gigantic in size with a ten-foot wing span. Also they may attack people who bother them, especially their babies. These pigs actually lay eggs as birds do. This is unusual for a mammal. However our plan to use bait, a helicopter and a net should work. At the zoo we shall study the exotic PINK pig, to understand how a pig can fly, lay eggs like a bird and still be a mammal. This capturing of the exotic PINK pig and the study of it shall be a most important event in animal science.
