High in the forest, an Ozone Warbler makes a nest.
Soon, perhaps, a mate will come.
Then, perhaps, an egg!
Unfortunately, no egg was found.

Four taxidermists, closely watched by two cooks from a nearby North Korean restaurant, lower an Ozone Warbler from its nest.
"Hey, putting that backpack over its head really calms it down," says a novice taxidermist, amazed.
"I give you fifty dollar!" says one cook to the master taxidermist.
"No," he says firmly. "This Ozone Warbler is not for sale. We are going to stuff it."
"Fifty dollar and breakfast special!"
"The breakfast special? Hmmm... Nah, we already had breakfast. Besides, your soy sauce sucks."
"What? What you say?" demands the cook, enraged. "Who say soy sauce sucks?"
"I said your soy sauce sucks," repeats the master taxidermist. "Your soy sauce sucks. It sucks."
"Fifty dollar! Or else!" says the cook angrily, carefully slipping on a blue glove laced with VX nerve gas.
Unfortunately, no egg was found.

After a long, tiring climb up the flimsy ladder, the novice taxidermist reaches the nesting Ozone Warbler.
"I don't think it likes me," complains the taxidermist as the Ozone Warbler, disturbed from its slumber, angrily snaps and clacks at the intruder.
"Grab it by its ankle!" shouts the master taxidermist from below. "That calms them down. Then we'll stuff it!"
"Okay. I got it," says the novice. "Now wadda I do?"
Unfortunately, no egg was found.

High in its arboreal abode, an Ozone Warbler is captured by a telephoto lens.
"Judging by its posture," says a professor from the university, "we believe it is trying to lay an egg."
Unfortunately, no egg was found.

Suddenly the novice taxidermist seizes the sleeping Ozone Warbler by its ankle.
The creature stands and looks around, confused.
"I got it!" he yells down to the other taxidermists standing below. "Wadda I do now?"
Unfortunately, no egg was found.

An Ozone Warbler, snapping and clucking, taunts Norse taxidermists as they arrive with ladders to capture it.
"We could hear it clacking from our longboat," said one taxidermist.
Unfortunately, no egg was found.

A professor from the university provides a photo of an Ozone Warbler concealing itself in a tree.
"This photo," says the professor, sagely, "shot by an amateur bird watcher, provides evidence that there may be a lot more Ozone Warblers hiding in the trees than we previously thought."
Unfortunately, no egg was found.

Taxidermists capture an Ozone Warbler nesting on a rooftop and nibbling on potted plants.
"It was clucking and clacking and disturbing the neighbors, so they called us," said one taxidermist.
"I can't wait to stuff it!" said the other.
"Wait!" said a third. "Let's turn it upside down and shake it."
"Okay."
"Do you see an egg?"
"Nope."
Unfortunately, no egg was found.

After removing the Ozone Warbler from its nesting crater and a tedious plucking, three cooks from a nearby North Korean restaurant and a starving peasant prepare it for a pit roast by wrapping it in foil.
"Foil wrap keep Ozone Warbler galmaegi savory!" says one.
"So many Ozone Warbler! So little time!" says another.

Serving Ozone Warbler galmaegi with the egg that was found.
