The Tale of Benjamin Pig

Tweet

Benjamin Pig was relaxing on his porch while sipping a cup of coffee. A girl with bright blonde hair approached Benjamin and said, "Hi, my name is Goldilocks. May you spend the night in your home. I'm so tired. I was just at the Three Bear's home." "Why of course you may. There's been a Wolf knocking at my door and threatening me. I just wanted to warn you." "Oh, I saw a Wolf and gave him an inhaler. He was struggling with his huffing and puffing." "Oh no, he'll come back here stronger than ever. What have you done?" "Don't worry, Mr. Pig. He likes me. He won't eat you. I'll make sure of that." Benjamin Pig and Goldilocks spent the entire day talking about food, the woods, the Wolf, an apple orchard, and so much more. It was turning into evening. Footsteps could be heard from a distance. "It sounds like the Big Bad Wolf is coming. He already ate my two brothers. Quick, let's go inside." The Big Bad Wolf approached Benjamin's house. "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." Benjamin responded, "Not a chance Wolf. I know what you want. Oh, say hello to Goldilocks." The Wolf looked puzzled. "Goldilocks, are you there? Are you being held hostage." Goldilocks replied, "No, I'm alright. Please Mr. Wolf, don't try to blow the house down. I know how this story ends, and it doesn't turn out very pleasant for you." "Sorry," said the Big Bad Wolf. "I've got to follow my plan. Okay Mr. Pig, I'm going to huff and puff and blow your house down." The Wolf took a quick whiff of his inhaler. He huffed and he puffed, but the brick house wouldn't move. After huffing and puffing two more times, the Wolf gave up. "You win this time," said the Wolf. But remember, what goes around comes around. I'll be back!" Goldilocks had an idea. "Let's make a false house. Let him blow all day and night." The next day, the Wolf returned. "Okay Pig, open up or I'll use this sledge hammer to destroy your house." The Wolf was angry. He pounded the house several times with the sledge hammer. Not one brick was broken. Finally, the Wolf gave up. He left the house of Benjamin Pig and decided to become a vegetarian. As for Goldilocks, she stayed over another night and then went off to a new adventure. I think I'll see this Jack fellow, she thought. I hear that he's into beans. Stay tune for Goldilocks next exciting adventure. Just don''t plan to stalk Jack.
