Grandpa's funny story

Author: Caleb Chua

 On a place far away, away from towns and cities, lived a happy family. There are four cute children in this family: Peter Harrison, Edmund Harrison, Susan Harrison, and Lucy Harrison.  They had a old grandfather, who could not see things clearly.

  One cold winter morning, the children sat beside the warm fireplace with their grandpa. They were bored.   "Oh grandpa! May you they us a story, please?" asked Edmund, " we are bored staying indoors." The kind grandpa smiled and answered, "Yes yes, dear little children, I will tell a story. Which story do you want?"

"Er.... which story is the best?" said Lucy softly, as she walked across the old, wooden bookshelf, "Ah! The Three Little Pigs! " "Alright, Lucy, sit down. Once upon a time," said the old man, "there were 3 young pigs. They wanted to build a house for themselves. The first...er...first dog." 

"NO!" interrupted Susan, " It's not a dog, grandpa, it's pig!!" "Yes, Susan, you're right. The wolf, no, the pig bought hay, the second bought sticks, the third bought leaves." "No, grandpa," said Peter,"It's not leaves, it's bricks!" "Yes, Pete. Thanks. The pigs started to build the houses. The pig, who used hay to build his house, was first to finished. The second finished later. But , the..the...er..."

"Pig," said Lucy with a cute voice. "Yes, little one," said the unhappy grandpa, who has been wrong for 4 time, " the pig who used bricks was still working. 'Yo! You are slow!' teased the first pig. The second pig said,'Mr. Slow-Pig, you are slower than a snail!'. However, the hardworking pig did not care, he continued to work. Finally his house was build"

"One day, a bad, hungry wolf came. The bad wolf smelled the pigs and went to the hay..hay..Habel." "Ha ha ha! It's hay house, not Habel!!" laughed Edmund, "Habel's my friend!!" "Yes,Ed. It's the fifth time I've got wrong," said the funny old man, "let's continue the story. The wolf howled and said, 'Little pig, little pig, let me come in!' 'No, no, by the hair of my chiny chin chin.' answered the poor pig. 'I'll huff, puff, and blow, blow, blow!!!!!!' Oh boy! How he blew!The whole house went down"

"The poor pig jumped and ran to the stick house. Ah! The wolf came to the stick house. 'Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in.' 'No, no, by the hairs of our chiny chin chin.' 'Then I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll BLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'  Oh my!! The stick house flew to the sky!" "Wee!" said the children.

"The scared pigs jumped a feet high and fled to the brick house. The wolf stomped to the third house. 'Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in.' 'No, no, by the hairs of our chiny chin chin.' 'Go away, bad guy', said the third, who is trying to be brave, and failed. 'I'll huff, puff, and blow, blow, blow!!!!!!' The strong house did not fall!!" The hungry wolf went away, stomping. The two pigs apologize to the the third. They promised not to be lazy again."

"And that;s the end of this story, children."

But the children were all asleep! "No wonder they didn't correct me for that long time! Sweet dream and have a nice nap, children." said the laughing grandpa as he walked away.
