I never thought I’d be the one running from those pigs. You know the them. They are the three little pigs who built their houses. They lived happily ever after. That is what the stories said. When I came to visit things turned bad very quickly. Their houses were destroyed. They were furious. They had brooms, rocks, and a determination that I’d never seen before. Now I am the one running for my life. Honestly, I don’t know how I ended up in this mess.

The complication

  1. I stumble and fall into a muddy puddle, making it even harder to escape the angry pigs.
  2. The three little pigs team up with a wolf who has a grudge against me, making my situation even more dangerous.
  3. I accidentally run into a nearby village where the townspeople mistake me for a villain and start chasing me too.

Sentence starters

  1. Then I heard their angry shouts echoing behind me as I dashed through the bushes.
  2. The air was thick with tension as I glanced back at the three little pigs charging after me.
