Straw house, straw pig - By Polly
10 07 2006Straw house, Straw pig.
Here I was walking away from home, a handkerchief tied to a stick in one hand nothing in the other.
i had the greatest idea ever! to build a straw house! Just in case i get poor and hungry i can have a nibble every day. i set up camp with my snugly-wuggly tucked inside my bed, (king sized for an elf) and in no time whatsoever i was fast asleep a rasping snore floating through the room. i woke with a start and hit my head on the bedstead. “OW” i rubbed my head as i tumbled out of bed and hit my head on the floor. i set to work the blind wolf must be hungry and would like to have a plump little pig for breakfast. Braille signs can be read by blind wolves. So i wrote a sign in brialle saying turn left then right. It was hard work. very. i found a wooden old cart in a ditch which i wheeled out and put near the sign and ran to my house to wait for blind wolf to come. A snuffling, scratching could be heard few minutes i had settled down and the kettle was whistling away. oh’s here a deep voice echoed through the room. It was near the sign yes my plan was working. Hmm what this turn left then right wonder why? might as well. Other than being blind the wolf is also stupid.
“whoah” screamed the blind wolf sounding like he was in agony. probably broke his foot.
i think i deserve a nice cup of tea after all this hard work seeing as the kettle’s boiling.
After a good nights sleep i woke to find myself rather famished with all this straw around me might as well have a bite. After all there is plenty. delicous with a mouthful of straw i decided to tuck in.
Now my tummy was bulging with straw i read the daily newspaper THE PIGS AROUND THE WORLD
in big bold letters on the front page it screamed out PIGS BEWARE! interested i turned to page 501 and read the article with interest i may be able to afford a newspaper but i can’t afford food. a oversized big bad cat called mog comes to every house with a animal living inside it kills it and tastes it and now it after any fat pig she sets eyes on. A loud miaow popped my day-nightmare and made it come true. Mog is here!
I already ate most of my house for breakfast this morning so i wasn’t surprised when mog was clawing her way through. i didn’t know what to do i couldn’t think with this racket. i rushed out of the back door as i saw teeth sink into the door… I paused and watched. i must have been standing there for five minutes before i shouted Hooray and then thought, and ran on four legs (that’s the fastest way for a pig to run) and ran all the way to mummy to tell her of my fortunate escape.
mummy pig just said think of the poor starving mog. i think she was hinting something i did kind of feel sorry for it. that night i tossed and turned and thought of my poor house. and mog. so when i finally fell asleep and woke up afew seconds later i knew what i would do i would set out and help mog maybe then she wouldn’t eat me. i would do it now. i packed my bag in which i put a lump of meat in if she did try to pounce on me and kill me. i wandered through the woods on my way to my wrecked house whistling a ‘candle in the wind’ to myself. What i saw i can’t tell you its so horrible
The poor mog was shivering and miaowing for all her worth she was almost dead. i had’nt noticed how hungry i was. i started chewing away for all MY worth now. Once mog was free she scooted off i called “come back” but it just echoed through the lonely mountains. i ran as far as the tallest mountain and got to a small little brick house and in a corner saw the remains of afew bones and the head of a pig. “disgusting” mog murmered to her self.
She saw me and started licking herself. Never am i ever going to eat a pig again.
Good well at least it was’nt me i laughed. My-only-afew-minutes-ago-he-was-alive-brother which is now dead. Mog waked off preening herself and walked off to mummy pigs house to find her supper.
