 Once there were 3 little pigs who lived together in mutual respect and
 in harmony with their environment. Using materials that were indigenous
 to the area they each built a beautiful house. One pig built a house of
 straw, one a house of sticks, and one a house of dung, clay and creeper
 vines shaped into bricks and baked in a small kiln. When they were
 finished, the pigs were satisfied with their work and settled back to
 live in peace and self-determination. But their idyll was soon
 shattered. One day, along came a big, bad wolf with expansionist ideas.
 He saw the pigs and grew very hungry in both a physical and ideological
 sense. When the pigs saw the wolf, they ran into the house of straw. The
 wolf ran up to the house and banged on the door, shouting, "Little pigs,
 little pigs, let me in!" The pigs shouted back, "Your gunboat tactics
 hold no fear for pigs defending their homes and culture." But the wolf
 wasn't to be denied what he thought was his manifest destiny. So he
 huffed and puffed and blew down the house of straw. The frightened pigs
 ran to the house of sticks, with the wolf in hot pursuit. Where the
 house had stood, other wolves bought up the land and started a banana
 plantation. At the house of sticks, the wolf again banged on the door
 and shouted, "Little, pigs, little pigs, let me in!" The pigs shouted
 back, "Go to hell, you carnivorous, imperialistic oppressor!" At this
 the wolf huffed and puffed and blew down the house of sticks. The pigs
 ran to the house of bricks, with the wolf close at their heels. Where
 the house of sticks had stood, other wolves built a time-share condo
 resort complex for vacationing wolves, with each unit a fibreglass
 reconstruction of the house of sticks, as well as native curio shops,
 snorkelling and dolphin shows. At the house of bricks, the wolf again
 banged on the door and shouted, "Little pigs, little pigs, let me in!"
 This time in response, the pigs sang songs of solidarity and wrote
 letters of protest to the United Nations. By now the wolf was getting
 angry at the pigs' refusal to see the situation from the carnivore's
 point of view. So he huffed and puffed, and huffed and puffed, then
 grabbed his chest and fell over dead from a massive heart attack brought
 on from eating too many fatty foods. The three little pigs rejoiced that
 justice had triumphed and did a little dance around the corpse of the
 wolf. Their next step was to liberate their homeland. They gathered
 together a band of other pigs who had been forced off their lands. This
 new brigade of porcinistas attacked the resort complex with machine-guns
 and rocket launchers and slaughtered the cruel wolf oppressors, sending
 a clear signal to the rest of the hemisphere not to meddle in their
 internal affairs. Then the pigs set up a model socialist democracy with
 free education, universal health care and affordable housing for
 everyone.
