Well, for a start, Mr.&Mrs. John Lewis, who own a small general store in Wood burn, Berks Would.Three years ago Mr. Lewis found a small cygoet wobbling along in the road by the local stream. He had been forsaken by his parents and the Lewis's promptly adopted him. They called him Ziggy and he soon became one of the family. Ziggy loves to sit by the fire in the sitting room, he loves coffee and mashed potatoes and, would you believe it, takes an occassional trip to the local and gets pie-eyed on a pint of bitter. It took many months to persuades him to go into the water, and for a long time Mrs. Lewis had to wash him every day in the kitchen sink.
