THE THREE LITTLE PIGS by Thomas Dobbs

Once upon a time, in a faraway rainforest, there lived a family of 4 little pigs. There lived Daddy pig, Andy pig, Randy pig, and their sister, Sandy pig.

Now one day, while Andy and Randy where playing in the field, Daddy came out and said, “Andy Randy stop that! Now today is the day that you get ready to go out into the world and build homes of your own.”

“All by ourselves? Out among the wolves?” The two pigs replied. “Now, now you have nothing to fear for you are strong smart boys who can take care of your selves,” Daddy replied back.

Then Daddy went to Sandy pig saying “Sandy today is the day you get ready to go out into the world to build a home of your own.” Sandy replied “O Daddy I am ready, but first I want to show you some drawings. You see these are my plans for my plans for a state of the art brick house.” But the only response she got from Daddy was “Well, isn’t that cute. It’s a picture of a house. Well don’t you worry darling daughter. Your brothers will take care of you.” So the very next day the three little pigs went out into the world to build homes of their own.

Andy’s home was built of straw, Randy’s home was built of sticks, and Sandy’s home was a state of the art brick house.   When the three houses were finished, Sandy came to her two brothers saying “Dear brothers that house of straw over there, and this house of sticks. Well they will not keep you safe when the wolf comes to call.”

Then Andy and Randy replied “We have nothing to fear for we are strong smart boys who can take care of ourselves.” Then Sandy just turned away shook her head and mumbled quietly to herself “I cannot believe those are my brothers.”

That very night the wolf came up to Andy’s house of straw and said “Little pig, little pig let me come in.”

All sacking in fear Andy responded “n-n-n-not by the hair on my ch-ch-chiny chin chin.”

The wolf said “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house down.” And just like a hurricane upon a village in just a few seconds the house was turned to rubble on the ground. All filled with panic and fear, Andy ran as fast as he could to Randy’s house to hide. Then the next day the wolf found them and said: “Little pigs, little pigs let me come in!” Then the two pigs replied together “NOT BY THE HAIR ON OUR CHINY CHIN CHINS!” Then, just like Andy’s house, the wolf took a deep breath and blew Randy’s house of sticks to the ground.

Getting desperate, Andy and Randy ran over to their sister’s house of bricks and started pounding at the door until they heard Sandy saying “Coming. Oh can’t a girl get a decent night’s sleep?” Then the moment the door opened Andy and Randy both came rushing into the house screaming “Oh Sandy dear sister save us from the wolf.” Then Sandy replied “Oh from the wolf? I couldn’t. I am just a girl.” Then Andy and Randy both said together “Oh no-no-no-no-no! You are just as strong and smart as we are. Stronger, smarter, much smarter.

We are just numskulls, dimwits, chuckle-heads.”

Hearing the panic in their voices she agreed to let them in. The wolf, getting tired of blowing the houses down only to have his prey escape, he thought he would try to trick the pigs into coming out. After all how intelligent could a pig be? So that night at around midnight the three little pigs heard a voice coming from the chimney saying “Ho-HO-Ho it is I Santa Clause with presents for three good little pigs. Ho-H-Ho” Hearing this Andy and Randy both got really excited and started jumping in joy. Then Sandy said “Boys think. Christmas is in December and this is the middle of summer.” Taking a moment to think it over Andy and Randy shout together: “HE’S EARLY!” And then started dancing around in circles like idiots. Then Sandy said to herself “They couldn’t be my brothers.” And then she grabbed a rocket from her basement that she had been saving from the fourth of July and shot it up the fireplace. Then as the three little pigs stood outside Andy asked Sandy “Where is Santa going?” Randy asked.  “Will he be coming back?” Then Sandy said to herself, “Definitely not my brothers.”
