“The Five Finger Strategy”

The Three Little Pigs

    First the main characters, the three little pigs decided to build  their own homes.  One house was made of straw, one of sticks, and one of bricks.  Next, a big bad wolf wanted to eat the pigs, so he blew the house of straw and the house of sticks down.  Then, the two the pigs who made those homes got away and ran to the house that was made of brick figuring they would be safe there. After that, the wolf tried to blow that one down, but it was too sturdy.  Finally, the wolf climbed down the chimney of the brick house to get to the pigs. Unfortunately for him, the pigs had a nice, hot pot of vegetable soup cooking in the fireplace. Needless to say. the pigs enjoyed a nice"wolf vegetable soup" that evening.
