Anyone with any information is urged to come forward.

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."
 
For those interested to find out how they can volunteer to take part in the Piggleton Scrub trials, contact the Professor Owl Institute for Magical Medicine on: Pink Tiddliwink 007.

Mystery Woman Leaves Slipper at Ball, by Liz Mackley

Royal Guards are looking for the owner of a glass slipper which was discovered in the early hours of this morning following the annual Prince's HulaHula Ball.
 
The slipper is thought to belong to a woman in her early-twenties who was seen dashing from the Palace Ballrooms close to midnight last night. It is thought the shoe slipped from her foot in her hurry to leave.
 
Prince Charming, who had danced with the woman in question for a number of hits, is particularly keen to reunite the footwear with the owner.
 
He said: "She left without telling me her name."
 
"She was such a fantastic dancer, she really took my breath away. I wanted to recommend her for the Deep Dark Dancing contest which I'll be judging later this year."
 
The palace has asked for anybody with information concerning the whereabouts of this woman to come forward.
