The Three Little Pigs

Once upon a time, there were three little pigs who wanted to live in a country meadow, but first they needed to build their houses. Down the road from the three little pigs lived a big bad shark who enjoyed misleading little pigs more than he enjoyed having them as neighbors in the country meadow.

The first little pig built his house of gravel.

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

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

Then the shark said, "Then I'll mutter and I'll clear out and I'll blow your house in."

And the big bad shark muttered and he cleared out, and he blew the first little pig's house in.

The second little pig built his house of carbon fiber.

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

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

Then the shark said, "Then I'll seethe and I'll grunt and I'll blow your house in."

And the big bad shark seethed and he grunted, and he blew the second little pig's house in.

The third little pig built his house of Scotch tape.

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

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

Then the shark said, "Then I'll grunt and I'll cheer and I'll blow your house in."

But no matter how much the big bad shark grunted and cheered, he couldn't blow in a house made of Scotch tape. The big bad shark felt tense. "Holy cow," he said, and went away hastily.

From that day on, the big bad shark never misled the three pigs again.
