Predicates

I was teaching my students about subjects and predicates today. I gave them some silly sentences and they were supposed to tell me the subject and predicate of the sentence.
The sentence was, "The pig flew away."
I said, "What is the predicate?"
They said, "flew away."
I asked, "What is the subject?"
One of my students:
"Well... It could have been a cockroach!"
