The Three Little Piggies

Michelle Leung gives voice to the wolf in this retelling of the classic fairy tale


The Three Little Piggies

 

Once upon a time, there were three yummy fat pigs that moved into my town, Wolf Ville. I could tell that they were somewhat ignorant, since those delicious foods moved into a town full of wolves! The minute I saw them, I felt a sudden urge to immediately bite their heads off, but then I thought of what my wise master would say, "Patience my young pup!" And so, I was patient.

Slowly, I tried to convince them to come to my house, but instead they just ignored me and said, "Sorry. We’re not allowed to talk to strangers, especially a wolf!" As I heard those words come out of those tasty pigs' mouths, I was angry and thought that they were very stupid. I wondered, if they didn't want to talk to a wolf, why did they move to Wolf Ville anyway?

I calmed down and tried to think up another plan to lure the pigs near me. Plan A was to go to each of their houses, knock on their doors, and ask them if I can come in. But if they refused, I would blow their house down, and when it collapsed, I would eat them. I chuckled at this idea and thought how smart I was to think up such a great scheme.

And so, I started it. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!!

"Little piggy! Little Piggy! Let me in! I yelled.

"Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!" The scrumptious pig refused.

"Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house down!" I replied.

And so I huffed and I puffed. Amazingly, the weak house collapsed exactly how my plan was suppose to work. As it did, the appetizing pig ran and ran. Of course, I could outrun him, but as that pig ran, he seemed to have thrown a rock at me which made me trip! For no pig has ever tried to do that to me, the most powerful wolf of all!

But anyway, back to my story. So the yummy piggy ran and ran over to this other pig’s twig house, and I did the same to his house. It blew down, as usual, and those stupid fools ran to another pigs house which was made out of brick. And so I tried to do the same to that pig’s house. But this time, it was harder that I thought to blow that house down. After 15 minutes, I was tired and out of breath. And so, I passed out. When I woke up from my unconsciousness, I was in a jail cell. The police told me I was there because of my attempted murder of the three little piggies. And I told myself, I guess they were smarter than I thought!
