‘The Three Little Pigs’ Revisited
Resulting from their predecessors’ experiences, all three of these pigs chose to build their homes of brick right from the start. Of course, that didn’t keep the Big Bad Wolf from taunting them.
The wolf approached the dwelling of the first pig. He said something to the effect of, “I will huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house down!”
“Oh, no! I’m not supposed to be bothered by these things anymore! This is not fair! What will I do?” exclaimed the first little pig. So he frantically ran outside his home, headed toward the wolf, shouted some obscenities—and the Big Bad Wolf ate him.
The wolf came to the second pig’s home barking out a similar salutation. Since he didn’t think the bricks were enough, this little piggy went to the market to purchase some goods. He returned, built a fence around his house (complete with barbed wire and electric shock capacity), installed a security system, and never left his little home again. So the Big Bad Wolf consumed him.
The third little pig was no less a victim of this predator’s intimidation tactics, but he remembered what his house was made of—so he oinked out a plan. Safely from within his home, he watched the wolf through a window. When the wolf fainted from all of the huffing, puffing, and blowing hot air, the pig tossed him off the lawn and enjoyed life again.
Now every so often, the wolf returned with the hope of trapping and eating the third little pig. Nevertheless, he knew what his house was built of, so the pig was always provided with a way to evade the perils of the Big Bad Wolf.
