The Three Little Pigs

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

The first little pig built his house of cornhusks.

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

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

Then the peacock said, "Then I'll whistle and I'll pray and I'll blow your house in."

And the big bad peacock whistled and she prayed, and she blew the first little pig's house in.

The second little pig built his house of cork.

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

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

Then the peacock said, "Then I'll breathe and I'll hum and I'll blow your house in."

And the big bad peacock breathed and she hummed, and she blew the second little pig's house in.

The third little pig built his house of styrofoam.

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

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

Then the peacock said, "Then I'll chuckle and I'll hang around and I'll blow your house in."

But no matter how much the big bad peacock chuckled and hung around, she couldn't blow in a house made of styrofoam. The big bad peacock felt miniscule. "Yay," she said, and went away cheerfully.

From that day on, the big bad peacock never appeased the three pigs again.
