Pigs and Wolves

Bedtime stories have always made their listeners think that there could have been more events involved in the story, and, that it could have a different plot. In an era in which the world is continuously growing and people are made slaves by the system, humorist James Finn Garner has adapted "Three Little Pigs" to the period.

The story is clearly meant to support free-thinkers and good people that merely want to live at peace with the world. The three little pigs are calm and are not looking to find profits in what they do, as they just want to enjoy the beauties of the world.

The first house that the three little pigs take refuge in is the straw house. Here, the situation is somewhat similar to the cases in which Native-Americans have lost their culture and traditions because of colonists coming to rob the new continent of its riches. The wolf feels that it is right for him to destroy what the pigs have built, because in his opinion the pigs were naive and they needed to be taught the ways of the wolves.

When the pigs take refuge in the second house, their case is similar to the one when the Natives have been constantly trying to defend their territory. In spite of their attempts, they have been pushed back and sent into reservations by the new-comers.

The wolf had been blinded by his greed and did not pay any attention to the suffering that he caused along his migration toward the west. At the time when the pigs ran into the brick house, the wolf saw that there was no way to go any further, and, he died along with his concepts.

Consequent to the wolf's death, the pigs got together and managed to receive rights just as those that the wolves had. In Garner's story, the pigs go even further and get revenge by killing wolves and chasing them away from pig territory. In the final of the story the pigs live happily ever after with their territories safe and the world accepting them as rulers over their lands.
