The Smoke...

last week, the three little pigs were seen in the countryside building their houses when the wolf came to attack. Two of the houses were tragically blown by the notorious wolf, but one was strong enough to protect them form the staving wolf. " I saw smoke coming out from the brick house's chimney. I wonder why...." said an eye witness, Mrs. Clucky, a neighbor of the pigs. From what the eye witness heard, the Wolf was being boiled alive!!

It all started when the wolf was trying to blow the brick house down. He failed. So, he tried going through the chimney. Obviously, you all know what happened next... He fell in a scorching pot of boiling water. That's how the smoke started. The wolf was found dead and according to the three pigs, they will never be hunted or disturbed again. Or will they? The pigs can only hope.
