female symbol
_____Ursa had a pig. A nice big white one. She put it in the chicken coop, but it tried to eat the chickens.

“Knock it off,” Ursa said.

The pig said, “I can’t help it. I need sunlight or I will die.”

Ursa led the pig to a pasture. The chest-high grass looked juicy, deep and green. The pig thanked Ursa by biting her leg.
