WHY<br />
DO...?!?<br />
Read Jacob’s theory about why pigs have flat noses. Then<br />
try writing a story yourself, asking... Why do zebras have<br />
stripes? Why do giraffes have such long necks? Why do<br />
beavers have a flat tail? Why do frogs have such a long<br />
tongue? Why, Why, WHY?!?<br />

Why Pigs<br />
Have Flat Noses?<br />
by Jacob, Age 12<br />
12 B! <strong>Maggle</strong><br />
A long time ago, pigs used to have noses just like us! I’d like<br />
to tell you a story of how all that changed.<br />
Once there were four pigs and their names were Piglit,<br />
Luiziana, Tyson and Bony. They were playing tag, when Piglit<br />
accidently ran into a hay stack face first and bounced back<br />
about a foot! Luiziana instantly had an idea for a game.<br />
The game she thought of was that you run into the hay<br />
stack as fast as you can and see how far you bounce back<br />
after hitting it.<br />
Bony suggested that they should all make a nose-guard so<br />
that they wouldn’t hurt themselves. Tyson said he didn’t need<br />
a nose-guard because he was tough!<br />
They all had lots of fun playing this game but Piglit wanted<br />
to show off like Tyson, so he took off his nose-guard. Luiziana<br />
and Bony said to Piglit, “Why are you taking off your noseguard?”<br />
Piglit said, “Because I want to be tough like Tyson.”<br />
But Luiziana and Bony said, “But you’re not as tough as<br />
Tyson, you will break your nose!”<br />
Piglit said, “I can be as tough as Tyson, just watch!”<br />
So Piglit ran as fast as he could and then CRUNCH!!! Piglit<br />
was curled up in a ball crying. Everybody ran up to Piglit.<br />
Piglit’s nose was flat. Piglit said, “I’m sorry I didn’t listen to<br />
you guys. I’m not as tough as Tyson. I guess I learned my<br />
lesson.”<br />
And ever since that day, pigs have had flat noses! b THE END
