You all know the story of the 3 Little Pigs. There is oldest pig who speaks with confidence… (Each pig enters or waves when introduced.)

Greetings everyone.

The middle pig who is very enthusiastic...
JOCK PIG:
Hey there!
NARRATOR:
And the youngest pig who is down to earth…
COWBOY PIG:
Howdy!
NARRATOR:
On this particular day, the pigs are setting off to see the world. The oldest pig says…
CLASSIC PIG:
All right brothers. It looks like we're all ready. It's time for us to set out into the world to seek our fortune.
JOCK PIG:
Yeah! Let's do it! We've got this! (Excitedly as if cheering for a team.)
COWBOY PIG:
Sure thing.
CLASSIC PIG:
Are you two sure you're going to be okay on your own?
JOCK PIG:

CLASSIC PIG:
Well then. Adieu!
(They wave and exit in different directions)
NARRATOR:
The Pigs waved goodbye and set off in different directions to seek their fortune. Meanwhile someone mysterious was lurking nearby.
(The Wolf enters in 'spy' fashion, rolling, sneaking, sliding…consider spy-like music.)
WOLF:
(sniffs) Something smells good, like bacon. (Checks his spy watch.) Siri…where is the nearest fast food? KFC? No time for chicken…I'm gonna go find me some bacon! (exit)
NARRATOR:
And just like that the Wolf was gone. Now remember, the Pigs were traveling alone now. Each searching for the perfect spot to set up a house of their own.
