Piglet had been taken from his home by the S.A.R.F.P., a radical splinter group believed to be headquartered in the jungle of Astoria. He was returned unharmed on Sunday.
First on the list of government witnesses was the Grade A Prime Minister himself. Mr. Pig gave testimony that he had been approached by the family of the missing oinker and asked by them to intervene.
He stated that he had "taken a firm line" with the radical group, and that the "Government of Pooh's Corner does not negotiate." He further testified that any actions taken by Trixie, Piglet's baby companion, were undertaken without official government sanction.
The baby, called by the Ransom Commission to testify, agreed with the Grade A Prime Minister's statement.
Drooling on the quilt, the baby declared that her actions were taken without notifying the Government and thus she was totally ignorant of other efforts on the porker's behalf. She added that, though she had perhaps acted impulsively to free Piglet, it was all right now, since he was back home. In conclusion, she burped quietly and spit up.
The Ransom Commission meets again tomorrow to announce its findings.
The two clandestine canoodlers went public with their relationship, arriving together at the premiere of Bathtub Productions' new movie, Drain Killers and posing for paparazzi.
