Pigs Might Fly, by Liz Mackley

Scientists at the University of Woodpecker have discovered a herb which may help a species of pigs to grow wings.
 

The team, led by Professor Owl, has discovered that combining Leerdamer Cheese, raven feathers and and Belladonna causes a chemical reaction which could allow grounded piggletons to reconstruct their shorn wings. 
 

Professor Owl said: "We're still in the final stages but we hope to have a remedial scrub by the end of the year.
 

"Pigs may really fly again."
 

The breakthrough will be welcomed by members of the piggleton community, who were among many victims targetted during the Wolf Wars. Today, only 25% of piggletons still have their wings, and there have been recent fears that the skill could be bred out.

 

Sophie Honk, a spokesman from leading charity, Save the Piggleton, said: "We at Save the Piggleton are very excited to hear about this new treatment.
 

"The scrub will revolutionise the therapies we've been using to support affected piggletons, and will help to resurrect this ancient ability to its former glory.
 

"The work of Professor Owl and his team has been much appreciated."
