There once was a sow that had 3 baby pigs. She didn't have much of her own to keep them so she sent them out to be on their own. The three pigs went on their journey to find help to build them a home of their own. 

The first pig came to a man that had a bundle of straw. The pig took the straw a made a house out of it. A wolf came along and said he was going to blow down the house...and that's just what he did. He huffed, puffed and blew the house down. 

The second pig came along and found a farmer who had some furze. The pig took the furze and made a  house out of it. The wolf came along and told the pig he was going to huff, puff, and blow the house down to eat the pig! Thats just what he did. The wold huffed, puffed, and blew the house down and ate the little pig. 

The third pig came along and found a mason who had some bricks. The pig took the bricks and made a house out of it. The wolf came along and told the pig he was going to blow the house down and eat him too! He huffed, puffed and....he couldn't blow it down. So the wolf thought he would trick the pig to come out of the house so he could eat him.

The wolf told the pig that they could go get some turnips together and he would pick him up at 6am. So the pig got ready and went out at 5am to go get the turnips. When the wolf got there, the pig had got them and put them in the cooker for dinner. The wolf tried this for several days, 

Finally the wolf decided he would sneak into the pigs house by climbing down the chimney. The pig hung a put of hot water right in the fireplace. When the wolf came down the chimney he fell into the hot, boiling water and the pig cooked him up for dinner.

Week 2 Story: The Ghost Who Wrestled with a Man

The Ghost Who Wrestled with a Man A long time ago, there was a ghost that walked the streets of a small town. He came to the edge of the town and laid down to rest. He started a fire and covered himself with a blanket. Hearing some twigs breaking, he ripped a hole in the blanket and peeped out to see what was coming. A man walked up  to the laying ghost and felt the ghost’s leg to see if he was real. After touching his leg, the man took a knife and tried to cut the ghost’s leg off. Before he could the ghost jumped up and screamed “What are you doing?” Frightening him, the man took off running back into the town. The next day, after a long walk along the town, the ghost again found a spot to make a fire and lay down to rest. He covered himself with the blanket and heard a man singing.
