In January 1998 twp pigs escaped from west of London. The gigs were going to be killed for meat. For almost a week, they hid in the woods around the town of Malmesbury.

When the local police began to look for the pigs, newspaper reporters from all over the country joined them. Soon people everywhere were reading about the adventures(历险记) of Butch and Sundance with great interest. The owner of the pigs said that if they were found, he would sell them to anyone who would give them a home. A number of newspapers tried to buy the pigs, and finally The daily Mail paid a lot of money for them.

One rainy night, six days after the escape, a reporter from The Daily Mail and some people from the town found Butch in the woods. They caught her and put her in a cage. The next day, Sundance was caught, too.
