When the pigs were in their sty playing in the mud they found a cassowary feather and one pig ate it and suddenly forty-nine more feathers fell on them and forty-nine pigs ate one each and all turned into humans.
They travelled around the whole world telling everyone to eat cassowary feathers but no-one believed them. One day a kid ate a feather but he turned into a pig and his mother put the story on the TV to warn everyone that eating feathers would turn humans into pigs.
The story went everywhere so all the people knew but everyone in the world ate a feather until the fifty pigs were the only humans in the whole world. The whole world was covered in mud from all the pigs and the pigs that had turned into humans didn’t like it.

In 2017 at the Calopudib Sanctuary, a boy started glancing at a unique plant that looked like gold. The little boy was a curious botanist and when he gazed at the plant he said, “Amazing, what is it?” He looked in his plant book and whispered, “Nothing? That is preposterous” and then he gently harvested a petal for studying. It turned into a bar of solid gold and the petal grew back which made him confused but now very rich. The gold plant from Calopudib Sanctuary made that diminutive boy the man he is today-Bill Gates.
