"By the way, Piglet, I've been thinking about that sign by your house ... "

"You mean 'TRESPASSERS W'?"

"Yes. That was your grandfather's name, you said."

"Yes - Trespassers William."

"Well, he must have been a rather large pig to put up such a tall sign."

"Er .. Well .. He didn't put it up himself. A friend did it for him."

"A friend?"

"Yes, another sort of animal. A tall sort of animal."

"You mean, like a giraffe?"

"Yes, yes - a giraffe. That was it."

"It must have been an amusing friendship, a pig and a giraffe. I didn't know giraffes could be found around here."

"They can't, " said Piglet. "Ordinarily. But this giraffe was over here on an Exchange Program."

"Oh? What did we send in exchange?"

"Er ... A box of weasels."

"That doesn't sound like a very fair exchange."

"Well, it was a large box."
