The Three Little Pigs

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

The first little pig built his house of fiberglass.

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

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

Then the pigeon said, "Then I'll slobber and I'll get upset and I'll blow your house in."

And the big bad pigeon slobbered and she got upset, and she blew the first little pig's house in.

The second little pig built his house of reeds.

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

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

Then the pigeon said, "Then I'll yawn and I'll hiccup and I'll blow your house in."

And the big bad pigeon yawned and she hiccuped, and she blew the second little pig's house in.

The third little pig built his house of Scotch tape.

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

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

Then the pigeon said, "Then I'll run away and I'll frown and I'll blow your house in."

But no matter how much the big bad pigeon ran away and frowned, she couldn't blow in a house made of Scotch tape. The big bad pigeon felt passionate. "Okay," she said, and went away suddenly.

From that day on, the big bad pigeon never considered the three pigs again.
