The Time Paradox

“The Three Little Pigs” is a story about the need to prepare for the future. the first little pig builds a house of straw. The big bad wolf huffs and puffs and blows the house down. He then eats the first little pig. The second little pig builds a house of sticks. It construction takes more planning and work than the first pig’s house of straw, but the wolf still manages to blow the house down. The wolf then eats the second pig. The third little pig, however, has more foresight and is more assiduous than his brothers. He builds a house of brick. The wolf can’t blow the house down.

In more recent versions, the first two pigs are not eaten but instead move in with the third pig. In a commercial version, they kill the wolf and sell his fur. ~ Page 44
