I was once in the office and another professor called me over. She was teaching a course on global citizenship.

"I can't figure out what this student is writing about," she said. "She keeps using the phrase 'perspiration stores.' Perspiration stores this, perspiration stores that."

I glanced at the paper and read a paragraph.

The Monkey Police Special Baby Task Force is requesting the public’s assistance in locating Cloth Mother, who has reportedly abducted Baby Monkey amidst ongoing custody proceedings.

Cloth Mother was last seen at approximately 12:00pm. She is driving a Little Tike’s Cozy Coupe (witness photo below).

Cloth Mother stands at approximately 18” tall and weighs roughly 2.5lbs, she is made of a wire frame with very very soft terry cloth covering. It is not known whether Cloth Mother is armed at this time.

Any information, tips, or eyewitness photos leading to the arrest of Cloth Mother and the safe return of Baby Monkey will be greatly appreciated.
