Which One is a Pig?

Suzanna surveyed the oinking, grunting shapes wallowing in the sty. “Are you sure they’re all actually pigs?”

“I only ask,” said Suzanna, “because Pig 3 looks like a stump with a tape recorder.”

Gazelle signalled Monkey, who draped a necklace of brown jasper around Rhino’s prodigious neck.

Rhino smiled softly. The stones matched his lovely Lioness’s eyes.
