right yeah right that's right listen do
you remember the story of the three
little pigs and the big bad wolf
yeah yeah i remember how that goes not
by the hair of my chinny chin chin
that's right well let me ask you
something in the story of the three
little pigs
who are the good guys and who are the
bad guys um
god the the great guys are the pigs and
bad guys the boss
are you sure yeah there's no real answer
for that one
you don't think there's a real answer no
well gosh
i think the wolf is the bad guy why
well because he goes around knocking the
pig's houses down
that's why they call him the big bad
wolf
wow what if i told you that i have a
book
about three little wolves and the big
bad pig oh not even
that's not how it goes you have it
backwards right you guys
yeah you think i have it backwards but
no i don't
look let me read you this book and then
you can tell me who the big bad guy is
okay
this book is called the three little
wolves and the big bad pig
and it was written by eugene trevisas
and illustrated
by helen oxenbury
once upon a time there were three cuddly
little wolves with
soft fur and fluffy tails who lived with
their mother the first was black
the second was gray and the third was
white
one day the mother called the three
little wolves around her and said
my children it is time for you to go out
into the world go and build a house for
yourselves
but beware of the big
bad pig
[Music]
don't worry mother we will watch out for
him said the three little wolves
and they set off
soon they met a kangaroo who was pushing
a wheelbarrow full of red and yellow
bricks
please will you give us some of your
bricks asked the three little wolves
certainly said the kangaroo and she gave
them lots of red and yellow bricks
so the three little wolves built
themselves a house of bricks
the very next day the big
bad pig came crawling down the road
and saw the house of bricks that the
little wolves had built
the three little wolves were playing
croquet in the garden
when they saw the big bad pig coming
they ran inside the house and locked the
door
the pig knocked on the door and grunted
little wolves little wolves
let me come in
no no no said the three little wolves by
the hair on our chinny-chin-chins we
will not let you in
not let you in for all the tea leaves in
our china teapot
then i'll huff and i'll puff
and i'll blow your house down said the
pig
so he huffed
and he puffed and he puffed
he huffed but the house wouldn't fall
down
but the pig wasn't called big and bad
for nothing
he went and fetched his sledgehammer and
knocked the house
down
oh the three little wolves only just
managed to escape before the bricks
crumbled
and they were very frightened indeed
we shall have to build a stronger house
they said
just then they saw a beaver who was
mixing concrete in a concrete mixer
please will you give us some of your
concrete asked the three little wolves
certainly said the beaver and he gave
them buckets and buckets
full of messy slurry concrete
so the three little wolves built
themselves a house of
concrete concrete no sooner had they
finished
than the big bad pig
came prowling down the road and saw the
house of concrete that the little wolves
had built
they were playing battle door and
shuttle in the garden
and when they saw the big bad pig coming
they ran inside their house and they
shut the door
the pig ran the bell and said little
frightened wolves
let me come in no no
no said the three little wolves by the
hair
on our chinny chin chins we will not let
you in
not for all the tea leaves in our china
teapot
then and uh
puff and i'll blow your house down
said the pig so he huffed
and he puffed and he puffed
and he huffed but the house
didn't fall down but the pig wasn't
called big and bad for nothing
he went and fetched his new magic drill
and smashed the house down
the three little wolves managed to
escape but their chinny chin chins were
trembling and trembling and trembling
we shall build an even stronger house
they said
because they were very determined
just then they saw a truck coming along
the road carrying barbed wire
iron bars armor plates and heavy metal
padlocks
please will you give us some of your
barbed wire
a few iron bars and armor plates and
some heavy metal padlocks
they said to the rhinoceros who was
driving the truck
sure said the rhinoceros and he gave
them plenty of barbed wire
iron bars armor plates and heavy metal
padlocks
he also gave them some plexiglass and
some reinforced steel chains because
he was a very generous and kind-hearted
rhinoceros
so the three little wolves built
themselves an extremely
strong house wouldn't you say yeah
it was the strongest securest house one
could possibly imagine
they felt absolutely safe
would you yeah sure
the next day the big bad pig
came crowling along the road as usual
the three little wolves were playing
hopscotch in the garden
when they saw the big bad pig coming
they ran inside their house bolted the
door and locked
all the 37 padlocks
pig dialed the video entrance phone and
said ah
little frightened wolves with the uh
trembling chins
let me come in no no no said the wolves
by the hair on our chinny chin chins we
will
not let you in not for all the tea
leaves in our china teapot
then i'll huh
and i'll pop and i'll blow your house
down
said the pig so we huffed
and he puffed and he puffed
and he huffed but the house
didn't fall down but the pig wasn't
called big and bad for nothing
he brought some dynamite laid it against
the house
lit the fuse and
the house blew up
oh the three little wolves just managed
to escape
with their fluffy tails scorched
something must be wrong with our
building materials they said
we have to try something different
but what
at that moment they saw a flamingo
coming along pushing a wheelbarrow
full of flowers please
will you give us some flowers ask the
little wolves
with pleasure said the flamingo and he
gave them
lots of flowers so the three little
wolves
built themselves a house of flowers
flowers
yeah one wall was of marigolds
one of daffodils one of pink roses
and one of cherry blossoms the ceiling
was made of sunflowers
and the floor was a carpet of daisies
they had water lilies in their bathtub
and
buttercups in their refrigerator it was
a rather fragile house
and it swayed in the wind oh it's very
beautiful
next day the big bad pig came
prowling down the road and saw the house
of flowers that the three little wolves
had built
he rang the blue bell at the door
and said uh uh
little frightened wolves with the
trembling chins and the scorched tails
let me come in no
no no said the three little wolves by
the hair
on our chinny chin chins we will not let
you in
not for all the tea leaves in our china
teapot
then i'll huff and i'll puff
and i'll blow your house down said the
pig
but as he took a deep breath
ready to huff and puff he smelled the
soft scent of the flowers ah
it was fantastic and because the scent
was so
lovely the pig took another
breath and another
and instead of huffing and puffing he
began to
sniff he sniffed deeper
and deeper until he was quite filled
with the fragrant scent
his heart grew tender and he realized
how horrible
he had been right then
he decided to become a big
good pig he started to sing and to dance
the tarantella
[Music]
at first the three little wolves were a
bit worried it might be a trick
but soon they realized that the pig had
truly changed so they came running out
of the house
they started playing games with him
first they played pig pug and then piggy
in the middle
[Music]
and when they were all tired they
invited him into the house
[Music]
they offered him tea and strawberries
and wolf berries of course
and asked him to stay with them as long
as he wanted
the pig accepted their invitation and
they all lived
happily together ever after
[Music]
well who do you think the bad guy was in
this story
i think that no one was the bad guy in
that story
and until the until well in the middle
he was a bad guy and at the end he
wasn't
you're right yeah that's right that's a
very good point
what do you think i think that he was
bad and good
that's right i guess we all can be kind
of good and bad
at the same time well you know that was
such a funny story because
it's like the story of the three little
pigs but now
the wolf was not the bad guy the pig was
a bad guy that's right
let me ask you something can a pig and a
wolf be friends
uh no yes no wait a minute i've got to
hear some sensors
yes and no yes and this in this book
they turned out to be
friends they can't be friends because
the wolf hunts
the piggers that's a very good point
what do you think you mean well for a
wolf and a pig to be friends
the wolf has to start eating veggies and
quit eating pork chops
and that's not gonna happen because meat
is what wolves are supposed to eat to
stay alive
my grandpa told me that well actually i
have a book here
with a picture of a real wolf and um
as you can see wolves and dogs
are they must be related because this
does look like a large dog
doesn't it but let me ask you something
what other stories can you think of
that have wolves in them little red
riding hood
oh yeah that's right absolutely that's a
great one what else
peter and the wolf yeah yeah peter and
the wolf that's good
three little pigs very good yeah
well you know wolves usually are the bad
guy in stories because
farmers you know would always think that
wolves were stealing their animals their
sheep and their pigs and their horses
and the wolves don't eat pigs well of
course
some of them do but problem is not as
common as people thought
well as my grandpa said wolves can't
help it
they're just doing what they're supposed
to eating other animals
that's what they eat wolves like deep
meat
keto likes three stories who said that
i don't know who said it but it doesn't
matter cause he's right
i like stories hi everybody
hi tim come on in
bye kids hi everybody hi everybody
hi mr allen no i heard you guys talking
about
wolves my favorite subject so i brought
one of my favorite stories about wolves
well which one is it
before i answer the question let me ask
all you this what if you were a wolf and
i said you're really bad
i'll scratch you i would think he's bad
i know what i'd say what would you say i
think i'd say
i'm not a bad guy i'm just a regular
wolf
see if i were a wolf i'd say no wait
what about my side of the story what if
the wolf had his own side of the story
see you should always listen to both
sides of the story before you make your
decision
i think that's right yes if i were a
wolf which you're not
which i'm not yes but if i were a wolf
and somebody said
i was bad i would say no i'm not
i'm just a regular sort of guy yeah
that's right now see if you asked a wolf
let's say if you asked me and i've said
i'm a wolf
look unless if i'm a wolf i would write
a book i
a wolf you would write a book i would
write a book called a wolf buy a wolf
but wolves can't
but wolves can't write wait a minute
though that book says
it's by by a wolf and i'm not talking
about buy buy that would mean buy a wolf
and how
how dumb it'd be to go to store and buy
a wolf can you just go up in the hills
and just you know dress like a chick and
they'll come down from then they'll just
eat you
they don't actually eat chicken they're
like chickens like anyway buy a wolf
you didn't right you're right wolves
can't write you're a little old for this
right so
you know that you know the truth i like
the book well wolves can paint
and wolves can dress well and wolves can
sing
and we'll some of them can drive buses
not cars but they can drive but they
cannot
write no they cannot write okay okay
they can't write because they got the
thing with the
with the with the with the fingers
hooves and pads
nothing to hold the pen there okay pull
the pin right again that's right
well let's hear the wolf side then yeah
and then we'll make up our minds about
who's the good guy and
who's the bad guy the true story of the
three little pigs
by a wolf it's a little play on words
everyone knows the story of the three
little pigs or at least they think they
do
but i'll let you know in a little secret
nobody knows the real story
because no one's ever heard my side of
the story
i'm the wolf alexander t
wolf you can call me hal
i don't know how this whole big bad wolf
thing got started but it's
all wrong maybe it's because of our diet
hey it's not my fault wolves eat cute
little animals like bunnies
and sheeps and pigs that's just the way
we are now look if cheeseburgers
were cute folks would probably think you
were big and bad too
[Music]
anyway like i was saying the whole big
bad wolf thing is all wrong
the real story is about a sneeze and a
cup of sugar
this is the real story
way back and once upon a time lynda's
making a birthday cake for our derral
granny
i had a terrible sneezing cold and i ran
out of sugar
so i walked down the street to ask my
neighbor for a cup of sugar
now this neighbor was a pig and he
wasn't too bright either
he built his whole house out of straw
how can you believe it i mean who in his
right mind
would build a house out of straw
so of course the minute i knocked on the
door it fell right in
i didn't want to just walk into someone
else's house so i called
hey little pig little pig you in
nice i was just about to go home without
the cup of sugar for my dear old
granny's birthday cake
that's when my nose started itch woohoo
i felt a
sneeze sneeze coming on i hopped
and i snapped oh boy and i sneezed that
was it a great
sneeze whoa boy i tell you and you know
what
the whole darn house fell down
right in the middle of the pile of straw
was the first little pig
dead as a door now he'd been home the
whole time
it seemed like a shame to leave a
perfectly good ham dinner laying in
there in the straw so i am
i ate it up
[Music]
i think if there's a big cheeseburger
just laying there
what a double cheeseburger yeah
i was feeling a little better right but
i didn't get
my cup of sugar so i went to the next
neighbor's house
this neighbor was the first little pig's
brother he was a little smarter but
not that much he built his house
out of sticks
[Music]
i rang the bell in the stick house
nobody answered
and i called yo mr pig mr pig you in
heeled back you go away wolf you can't
come in
i'm shaving the hairs of my chitty chin
chin
i just grabbed the doorknob when i felt
another another sneeze going on
i i popped and i snuffed i i tried to
cover my mouth but i asked
this oh
you're not gonna believe this the guy's
house fell down just like his brother's
when the dust cleared there was a second
pig dead as a door now
honor
[Music]
now you know how food spoils when you
leave it out in the open so i did the
only thing there was to do
i had dinner again i think it was a
second healthy
i was getting an athlete oh full but my
cold was feeling a little better
i still didn't have a cup of sugar for
my dear old granny mm-hmm
so i went to the next guy's house this
next guy was a first and second
this next guy was the first and six
sorry
oh this guy was a first and second pig's
brother he must have been the brains of
him he built a house out of bricks
brick smart little pig i knock on the
brick house
bloodied my knuckles ding ding ding ding
ding
ding ding ding no answer so i said hey
mr pig whoa
mr pig you in
and you know what that rude little
parker says get out of here wolf
it don't bother me again
look how bad impolite he probably had a
whole sack full of sugar in there
wouldn't give me one little cup
for my dear old granny's birthday would
you
[Laughter]
what a pig i was just about to go home
and maybe make a nice birthday card out
of a cake when i felt my
cold call coming on i hopped snuffed
and i sneezed once again
and that third little pig yelled and
your old granny could sit on a pin
usually i'm a pretty calm guy but when
someone talks about my granny like that
i go a little crazy
[Applause]
but the cops drove up of course i was
trying to break down a pig's door
the whole time i'm huffing and puffing
and steezing to making a real scene
the rest as they say is history look at
the wolf
the news reporters found out about the
two pigs had for dinner they figured a
sick guy going to borrow a cup of sugar
didn't sound very exciting
they jazzed up the store with all that
huff and puff and blow the house down
and they made me the big bad
and that's it the real story i was
framed
but maybe you could loan me a cup of
sugar
[Applause]
and that's it kids that's a real story
right there gee now i'm not so sure
about who the bad guy
is you can trust this guy i guess so but
how do you know just cause he looks
better but you can't trust him
you know on the other hand look at the
pig's face
it's not a real does that look like a
look at this
yeah who's the bad guy here oh i have a
question
yes sir one thing what does framed mean
framed means if you haven't done
something wrong and other people make it
seem like you have done something wrong
that is called being framed and don't
let
anybody ever do that to you gee that'd
be pretty nasty if somebody did
yes of course it would who wants to be
in a frame
hanging there on the wall i know i don't
stay away from framing altogether well
