The Three Little Pigs

Once upon a time, there were three little pigs who wanted to live alongside a stream, but first they needed to build their houses. Down the road from the three little pigs lived a big bad sloth who enjoyed questioning little pigs more than she enjoyed having them as neighbors alongside the stream.

The first little pig built his house of cardboard.

Along came the big bad sloth, and she said, "Little Pig, Little Pig, let me come in!"

The first little pig replied, "Not by the hair of my skin!

Then the sloth said, "Then I'll beg and I'll nod off and I'll blow your house in."

And the big bad sloth begged and she nodded off, and she blew the first little pig's house in.

The second little pig built his house of dreams and visions.

Along came the big bad sloth, and she said, "Little Pig, Little Pig, let me come in!"

The second little pig replied, "Not by the hair of my front tooth!

Then the sloth said, "Then I'll turn blue and I'll throw up and I'll blow your house in."

And the big bad sloth turned blue and she threw up, and she blew the second little pig's house in.

The third little pig built his house of graham crackers.

Along came the big bad sloth, and she said, "Little Pig, Little Pig, let me come in!"

The third little pig replied, "Not by the hair of my waist!

Then the sloth said, "Then I'll doodle and I'll sniff and I'll blow your house in."

But no matter how much the big bad sloth doodled and sniffed, she couldn't blow in a house made of graham crackers. The big bad sloth felt powerful. "Yowsers," she said, and went away unnaturally.

From that day on, the big bad sloth never questioned the three pigs again.
