Once upon a time, in a land not too far,
Lived a little pig with a straw house, oh la la!
One day, a knock on his door made him aware,
Of a big bad wolf who wanted to share.

The pig was warned of the danger ahead,
So he huffed and he puffed and he quickly fled,
To his friend's brick house for a place to stay,
And he prayed the wolf would go away.

But the wolf was cunning and he knew his way,
To the little pig's new home where he could play,
So the pig, in despair, thought of a plan,
To blow the wolf away, with all he can.

He gathered his strength and blew with all his might,
And the wolf flew off into the night,
The little pig was safe, his home was secure,
And he knew he could handle danger for sure.

So remember little ones, when you hear a knock,
And danger lurks around like a ticking clock,
Don't be afraid, just warn and be tough,
And if you need to, just blow and huff!

Reflections

Here are a few questions that kids can think about after reading the story:

1. How did the little pigs use their different houses to protect themselves from the wolf?
2. Why do you think the wolf was trying to get inside the pigs' houses?
3. What do you think the pigs learned from their experience with the wolf?
4. Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to use your strength or wits to protect yourself or someone else?
5. What would you have done if you were in the pigs' situation?
