The Three Little Pigs: Or, To Survive We Must Plan ... And Work

By Roslyn Ross

This version of the Three Little Pigs is unlike any other-it is clear, rational, and value-oriented. Specifically this version is different in that:-It has death in it. Most other versions of The Three Little Pigs available today shy away from this reality of life, the very value this story was intended to teach: Those who fail to plan for their survival ... often don't survive. It does not serve children to hide reality from them, so this version of the story deals plainly with death.-The wolf represents nature, not, as in other versions available today, a person with whom we don't get along. Though it is important to learn how to deal appropriately with angry people or people we don't like, there is a big difference between that lesson and what we ought to do if someone shows up at our door with the intent to kill us. The Three Little Pigs is not an appropriate story to have everyone "end up as friends" at the end. -The Three Little Pigs is NOT a story about what one should do with those who fail to plan for their survival (as in the numerous versions today where the pig that builds the brick house invites the two slacker pigs to live with him). The Ant and the Grasshopper and The Little Red Hen both address the social aspects of survival. The Three Little Pigs is about how an individual's choices affect his chances of survival. Most other versions of this story available today confuse this.-This book was written with the goal that if a parent read this to his child so many times the child memorized the chorus, the parent would be HAPPY about it because it would serve to guide the child throughout his life.
