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 the 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.
Moral of the Story:
Hard work pays off!
