Once upon a time there were three little pigs
who were
baby boomers
and who grew up in
Cabbage town
,decided to build houses.
Now since they had moved from
Cabbage town
to the middle of the
wheat belt
The first little pig who was a bit of
a cut up
,decided to build his house out of straw.
Straw? Can you believe that?
The second pig who was a bit of
a card,
laughed at his brother for being so foolish and
built his house with sticks . Sticks?
Can you believe that?
The
first two pigs built their houses in no time
at all
and then decided to
hang loose
with each other and sang and danced all day.
The third little
pig was
a regular brick.

He was the kind of pig who studies and goes to the gym and was a
pocket Hercules.
He decided to
hit the books
and learn about house building.
His brothers laughed at him, but he hired
a
big rig
and brought in a load of bricks and built his house with bricks.
His
brothers again laughed because the cost of bricks were
a little steep.
While they danced and sang, he said that there is
no rest for the wicked
and worked all week long building his house.
Now there happened in the land big bad wolf.
He saw the two little pigs while they danced
and played and thought, “What juicy tender meals they will make!” He chased the
two pigs and they ran and hid in their houses. The big bad wolf went to the
straw house and said,
"
Little , little Pig, let me come in."
The first little pig was
a bit of a mad cap
and
decided to
crack a joke

and said,
"No, no, not by the hair on my
chinny chin chin."
He sat in his house and decided he would just
stonewall
the wolf.
The wolf said,
"Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house
in."
He huffed and he puffed and blew the house
down in minutes.
You can bet your bottom dollar
t

he first little pig knew that his house was a
lemon.
The frightened little pig decided to
play dead,
but quickly realized that that was what the wolf wanted.
He jumped up and
ran to the second pig’s house that was made of sticks. The big bad wolf now came
to this house and said,
"
Little , little Pig, let me come in."
Now the second little pig was a bit of a
yoyo
and decided
to egg on
the wolf by also saying,
"
No, no, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin."
The wolf said,
"
Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house
in."
and he huffed and puffed and blew the house down
in hardly any time. The second pig's house was also a
lemon. Now, the two little pigs were terrified
and sent out an
SOS
to their brother who told them to come to his house.
They ran to the third pig's house that was made of bricks.
They hoped that the bricks would
keep out
the big bad wolf.
The wolf chased them to the third pigs house and said,
"
Little Pigs, little Pigs, let me come in."
Well all the pigs were now
all in the same boat.

The third little pig decided to
take a poll
of his brothers.
They were all certain that the bricks would hold.
So instead of saying ,
No, no, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin." All the pigs were real
jokers and they shouted back to him,

"
What ever floats your boat."
"
Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house
in."
The big bad wolf tried to huff and puff and blow the house
down, but he could not.
The three little pigs shouted, "
don't go away mad just go away"
He kept trying
for hours
and would not
let up
.
The three little pigs shouted to him to "
cut it out".
The house was very strong and the little pigs were safe inside and
it kept the
wolf
at bay.
He tried to enter through the chimney but the third little pig had a boiling pot
of water on the fire inside the chimney.
The wolf fell into it and died.
The two little pigs now felt sorry for having been so lazy.
They felt guilty about
picking on
their brother for working so hard!
They both decided to go back to
square one

and build their houses with bricks.
They got together and wrote a
tell all
book about their experiences and the third little pig would never
bring up
how silly
his brothers were.
They all lived happily ever after.
