And here are some of the initial responses...
It is another hot day in a far away foreign country and it is already humid and boiling hot for the ground staff of the airport who have got . The rope is being used to pull the cows into the crate they are being transported, in as part of aid relief in Sub-Saharan Africa. They are going into the holding compartment of the passenger plane set to take off later in the day. The cows are dreading it because they know as soon as they arrive in Africa there due for the feast and they are not good flyers.

A herd of cattle ( or is that goats ?) getting rounded up by being lasooed ( not sure if thats how u spell it) slaughtered & there meat shipped abroad

The rope is used in a lasso type roll to tie round the cows necks to act like a lead. These are then used like a lead on a dog to pull the cows onto the plane - I envision a Noah's ark type of scenario....

BREAKING NEWS...
Today it has been confirmed that the reasoning behind the Hudson plane accident was not that of birds in the engine but three texan passengers had actually each tried to ship their "prize bulls" which they had won in an American lasso competition. With the increased weight in the hold the aeroplane finally succumbed to the pressure in the hold as the plane made its way over New york making the plane plummet to the ground landing in the icy water of the hudson river. All cowboys have now be warned that lassos and cows should not be placed in the hold as a manner of shipping.
It is a lesson to be learned by aeroplane charters across the american nation.

As a plane was taking off from the runway a long piece of rope got caught on the wheel, the end of the rope were tied round the hooves of four cows, and it flew away with them, it was all part of a joke.

Due to new research done by scientists, farmers have begun to throw cows out of aeroplanes and kept in the air by ropes, it is said to improve the taste and creaminess of their milk.

An elderly farmer had the chance of a lifetime - to see his daughter, who now lives in Australia. It has been 10 years. His daughter came into a small sum of money recently and her first purchase was a plane ticket for her father. He would move there in a heartbeat but he couldn't bare to part with his cattle.

I received quite a variety of stories. At the moment I am still quite unsure of what the meaning of polysemy that was talked about by Barthes is. I think that this may become more clear when I add another picture for Activity D or text in Activity E as try to get the stories to match. Till next time...
