The Three Little Pigs News Story

The Big Bad Wolf died Tuesday after allegedly destroying two houses belonging to two little pigs and eating them in Baconville. 

The survivor of The Big Bad Wolf's malicious attacks claims, "He threatened to blow my house down and wanted to eat me like he did my brothers." The distressed third little pig said that the Wolf took a latter to gain access to the roof and enter the house through the chimney. Feeling threatened for his safety, the third little pig put a large, boiling kettle of water at the bottom of the chimney. As predicted, the wolf preceded down the chimney and dropped into the boiling water.

The Wolf was killed and the third little pig is arguing self defense in his murder. Had the Wolf been alive today, he would be charged with two counts first degree murder, two counts destruction of private property and trespassing. The third little pig is sad over the loss of his two brothers but believes that his insurance will cover the damages to his chimney.
