She was that coloured in that she looked more like a cartoon than a real person. She was known as Miss Piggy and would only talk to people via a big mirror that she carried in her handbag. She used to walk round Kwik Save supermarket eating the biscuits without paying for them, but the people who worked there were too scared to say anything. I think she ate all the profits as I’ve heard that all the Kwik Saves are now closed. The old woman in the zoo looked like she could have been good-looking when she was younger. Her husband wore a navy blue suit, which was a bit too big for him, complete with tie. I wondered why they’d come here so dressed up. Maybe they came here on their first date many years ago. Then I thought they looked like they might be Italian tourists, as Italians always seem to make an effort to look smart. I followed them into the reptile building. They never spoke. It’s odd how people who’ve been together for years do that. I could understand it if they were in a restaurant, sat quietly enjoying a meal, but here they were looking at a frog that can kill a man and they still had nothing to say to each other.
