Petra the Black Swan, Paddleboat Mate Get Back Together

Friday, March 28, 2008

MUENSTER, Germany — Petra the black swan has been reunited with her beloved swan-shaped paddleboat after a failed romance with a real bird.

How disappointing, Walter!

The real thing is the best, of course. But to be abandoned like that ... what a cad swan, that's all I can say!
I guess the boat is more reliable?

These are anxious days in the German city of Münster, where Petra, the famous swan that fell in love with a swan-shaped pedal boat, has gone missing. Her fans have distributed leaflets appealing for help and have been inundated with reports of possible sightings.

Petra the black swan who gained nationwide fame by falling in love with a large swan-shaped pedal boat has gone missing from her lake in the western German city of Münster, and her worried fans have asked the public to help find her.

The "Friends of Black Petra" society, which has 58 dues-paying members -- including one in Chile -- has distributed some 150 "Have you seen this swan" posters and leaflets throughout Münster.

1 swan (see note)
