Three Little Pigs – Different Ending
The wolf stumbled to the last home on the road. Upon seeing the brick home he knew he had not the strength to blow it down. So he knocked on the door. And in his sweetest little girl voice he said:
- "Little pig, little pig, let me come in. I'm running away from the big bad wolf."
The door swung open but the little pig was nowhere to be seen.
- "Shut the door, my deary, that wolf is but a stone's throw away, I'm sure."
Upon hearing the voice, a suspicion grew inside him and he knew the little pigs were hiding under the bed. So he gently padded to the bed and withdrew the curtains, to see the little pig lying in bed wearing a bonnet and nightdress.
- "Why little pig, what small nose you have."
- "The better to avoid the smells of the barnyard."
- "Why little pig, what small ears you have."
- "The better to avoid the noise from the cows."
- "Why little pig, what small eyes you have."
- "The better to see only the truth in people's souls."
Feeling weary from travel and tired as could be, the wolf seized the moment to pounce on the pig's weak frame. When out from under the bonnet, Little Red Riding Hood sprang.
- "Oh no! Not this again!"
The pigs were so thankful to have Red as their friend that they baked her a wolf's pie to take to her gran. Then they fashioned her a new fur cloak, red from the blood and sent her on her way.
- "We may look tired, weary and weak, but we're not dumb."
- "True, though two of us did lose our homes."
- "But at least we're never alone!"
Red smiled and hugged each of her little friends goodbye. As she turned to disappear back into the woods she waved a bloody hand.
- "If another wolf bothers you, just come get me. And please do not distress. I'm actually getting quite good at this!"
