BREAKING NEWS! The Fox family have been holding the ducks of Grubtown captive, and now, finally, the truth of the Duck piper has been revealed. Derek Fox, father of the family, was actually the Duck piper. He bought a Duck piper costume from the costume shop and a flute from the Accessories for Tramps shop. He then planned to lead the ducks out of town, but they fell in to a ditch, and that's when Police inspector Grabby Hanson came to the scene, and Derek ran away. Now the family are holding the ducks hostage until the town agree to sell them. Bunty Fox has this to say, "If we don't get what we want then we're going to feed the ducks half-meal bread!!", which we all know makes the ducks ill, because they only eat whole-meal bread. Grabby Hanson and mayor Flabby Gomez are both trying to reason with them.

The official duck gatherer Jilly Cheeter says this, "(weeping) Why?! Why?! Why half-meal bread why couldn't it be 3/4-meal bread!?!?" Read the latest on this story in tommorow's issue of The Grubtown Daily Herald.
