Pig says, "Oh my gosh! Look! A beached whale! What do we do, Zebra? What do we do?" Zebra says, "I'm afraid there's not much we can do, Pig. Even large boats have trouble dragging whales back into the sea." Pig says, "Why do whales do this?!" Zebra says, "No one knows, Pig. There are theories about chasing prey too close to shore, echolocation problems, illness...but the truth is we may never know what they came out of the ocean for." Pig says, "What did you come out of the ocean for?" Whale says, "Caramel Macchiato." Pig says, "They're very popular drinks." Whale says, "Whoa. I thought I said extra caramel."
