I was born in 1955. I used vocabulary words carried forward from the 1700s. There was NOT ONE WORD in this 3 little pigs story I did not understand. But then I have always loved words. One day at the factory, 12 years ago, I said to the Team Lead "Well that's the rigor de jour" . She looked at me and said "What's THAT suppose to mean?" Another coworker said one day laughing "Lynn your the only person working here who uses 3 syllable words".

@ Wow, and just what kind of education do you have? For you to even think such a thing, you have a toddler mentality. As far a comedic talent goes, this is up there with the best of him. Not sure how old you are but would you have said the same if it came from Robin Williams or say, Richard Pryor? Probably not...
@, you clearly don't understand rapping. This Shakespeare routine was rapping at the highest level. Rapping in the 16th and 17th centuries. The alliteration was brilliant.
Ye shall henceforth be thusly satisfied with more plentiful filling comedy for thine own personal satisfaction. But, ye know that olde saying, ah! 'Tis nothing like another old lang syne.
This is, by far, without a close second, the best comedy routine I have ever seen. The constant use of 4 letter words strung together in a different order every few seconds got old in like 7th grade.
this was by far the most compelling and satisfying retelling of this classic tale i've ever encountered. this stopped being comedy and started being an enthralling voice recording of one of the most boring tales of my childhood within an unexpectedly short period of time. i wasn't ready.
You need to publish THIS version of THE 3 LITTLE PIGS! I would buy many and give them out as added presents for Birthdays or Christmas. You nailed it! I LOVE IT!! BRAVO!
Even the Big Bad Wolf is impressed by this. His voice is awesome. He needs to record a complete audiobook of the nursery rhymes. His deep voice of the third pig is awesome. I could listen to his story telling all day
@@suzannegiannini85 I've watched it hundreds of times. Sometimes 2 and 3 times in a row. He's Marvelously talented. Pig 3's voice is most appealing. That deep tone is mesmerizing!!!
Shakespearean verbiage of 3 Little Pigs is priceless, simply priceless. Mr. Branyan needs a huge award for this piece... laughed till tears flowed down cheeks.

@@natew5544 I should have provided context. I’m middle aged which is why I said it was remarkable that I was able to follow it all. I wasn’t expressing arrogance, but surprise considering my mind isn’t exactly young. Also, I am truly amazed at his skill which is why I called it remarkable. Sorry if that wasn’t made clear from my statement.
I think most people get turned off to Shakespeare in school when they have to read it. This kind of language is meant to be performed and that is made very clear here.
A good teacher actually WANTS you to engage in that manner. Kids simply don't want to for shy nature of their age. The teachers are too afraid to push because pressure isn't something they want to give. Most teachers would be excited of their children performed the readings.
@@agonleed3841 But, prithee I say, that that shan't be necessarily nor verily a bad thing, for I find it most opportune to learn even both Low and High English of that time, but, alas! I don't have the time right thus as I, inasmuch, do have a tutelage in commercial agriculture within the University of Western Australia, wherein thee would find the most unassuming professorships and most unfathomable list of opportunities therein. It would be preposterous to not taketh the advantage through whence it presents itself, savvy?
Amen, brother! During my 35 + years of teaching English language and literature, I could never understand why other teachers would first require their students to read a Shakespearean play, and then require said students to discuss the very item which, unless they were reared reading the King James Version of The Bible, they could not hope to understand. Then those very same teachers would require the students, who had very limited understanding to try to perform the play orally. Disaster! At the end of the teaching unit, those same teachers would finally reward the befuddled students by showing them a professional production of said Shakespearean play. Aha! When it was too late for the students to actually begin caring, they got to witness the wonder of Shakespearean drama. But, since they already knew that it was horrible for them, they simply ignored the performance as a rule. Why not BEGIN with the professionally-performed play, discuss it as fully as possible, and then, and only then, encourage the students to read important passages from the play, and/or allow /encourage a close reading of the play while listening to a professional audio performance of the play, complete with frequent stops for discussion and contemplation???? Those audio recordings have, for at least the last 45 years, been widely available to the teaching profession!!! AAAIUUUGGGHHH!!!!!!
Obscene or shock humor has it's place. Comedy of a higher caliber that can appeal across generational gaps is genius. The 'Wanna be' romantic in me often climbs to the surface and is a 'character' I slip into that speaks Shakespeirian with an over the top lack of ability to speak Shakespirian - ie - Harketh goest I forth unto which narry be not thine for mine be that which witch could upon thy vary cast shadows for with nor narry a spot quencheth a thirst born this our day once reckoned shall wreck again once more than one. "Oucheth" soundeth the subdude "
That pig story was freaking WELL DONE! And very entertaining! I kept wondering how it would end, with the 3rd pig. Happy to hear "American made products saved the day! Really nice job!
Question is how long did it take h to memorize the story!! One can get thru life with less than half a dozen hand gestures! Be forewarned, at least 1 on them may escalate the conversation to a physician confrontation!
@@rduff1999 Actually not true, worked in industry & business in China for 15yrs. The specifications you're getting in your stores, are the specifications of the customer (the store) buying the product . China has a domestic spec and a spec for their customers.

Oh yeah, you should hear my Uncle Chuck`s version. Blow your socks off! Not as fancy as this fella, but I'm talking quality acting and sound effects. But to each their own.
After listening for the past hour of the doom & gloom of my Country, this 10 mins of laughter has restored my soul. We may still be doomed, but we'll go down laughing.
What a delight to hear the English language spoken properly once again! It rings as a most delightsome musical symphony unto my ears, which would, if able they would be and legs they had, as most agreeable partners to such an inspired move of ecstatic expression they most certainly are, waltz up and away, into the night, high unto the heavens, lifted by the lilting waves of these orchestral notes, known to some as…words. What an exceeding joy erupting in my heart! How I long,…nay, yearn, to hear it always spoken thusly!
Perhaps tired homeschooling parents could try interfacing with professional English teachers of the caliber who make Shakespeare fun for their students. Please see my reply to Phrygian...
Yes, They would be as much fun as what Gregory McGuire gave us with his new perspective on characters and plots for the fairy tales. Wicked, Witch of the West, Confessions of a Stepsister and others, but by this man in fabulous language.
Nah, it would never work; it would be impossible to do. One would require a Victorian Age computer to be able to enter the language, and as far as I know, none exist. You try entering that on a modern computer and spell checker would flag every single word, and God help you if you have AUTOCORRECT turned on!
I read an early version of "the Swiss Family Robinson" to my visiting Grandson who was having learning and reading difficulties at school. The book was full of this style of colorful talking. It turned a switch and my Grandson caught up in school the next school year.
My grandson had a diagnosed learning disability combined with Autism. One of his legs was even shorter than the other! I gave him a copy of George Carlin's "Last Words" in which he became immersed. He soon discovered through critical thinking that he was brainwashed into thinking he had a disability and became the star of his high school track team. He is now Dean of an Ivy League university. His left leg is STILL shorter than the other, but hikes on hilly paths are much easier for him that way.
Given his learning disability and, therefore, probable diminishment of comprehension, it is more than likely that the addled lad took it to heart that if he failed in his endeavor to ascend the rankings within his academic milieu, he risked eternal banishment to a deserted island.
Jaw-dropping fairy tale from a true comic genius. I hope that he writes a brilliant screenplay about anything. And hires actors that can keep up with his storytelling.
Oh my dear brother. Please just take an aspirin and perhaps a little nap, as you have exhausted your faculties. Be made aware that we humans, have limited devotions to the art of storytelling.
Agreed! Even WATCHING old literature ... hence, 20 yrs later, I still incorporate vocabulary from films, "Sense & Sensibility" and "Pride & Prejudice," into mine own.
Fascinating how a retelling of a classic tale could bring forth a TH-cam video with a vast expansion of vocabulary usage in the comment section...... and yay me for knowing what they all mean!
Who says there is no intelligent comedy? This man is amazing! Can you imagine all the combinations of words living in his head? Definitely worth subscribing to his channel.
Here's the transcription: In time past, though not long ago there lived pigs in stature little, in number, three, who, being of an age both entitled and inspired to seek their fortune, did set about to do thusly. When they had traveled a distance, pig numbered first spake saying, “Harken brethren heed this tempestuous realm tarry we long from hearth and home, we shall fare, I fear, *oink* not well!” And so, being collectively agreed, but individually impelled, the diminutive swine set about each to erect for himself an abode. Pig numbered first did construct his house from straw, pig numbered second did likewise, though rather, not from straw, instead from sticks, meanwhile, unique in his imagining pig numbered three did erect as his domicile stalwart and garish a structure made from brick entirely. Ah, but soon, there happened along, as is frequently the scenario in classic tale of protagonist pig, or red hooded child. A wolf carnivorous nature in full season he called out to the straw ensconced swine saying, “Pray thee little pig, grant me entrance!”, but pig one recalled with sage foreboding, that “He is mad who trusts in the tameness of a belly binched wolf!”, and responded immediately, “Nay! It shall not be! Indeed, not by wit or whiskered jowel!” To this most expected response the wolf replied immediately, “Then steal thyself little pig forthwith shall I endeavor in blowing means both huffing and puffing to dismantle yon flippant flaxen fortress!” Whereupon there issued forth from the wolf an exhale of gale proportions, that quickly rendered straw hovel to dregs and dross, and carried aloft piglet and shattered quarters both, exposed now to claw and fang, piglet one made haste, wolf in pursuit, to the stick festooned sanctum of peccary secondary, causing pig two to cry out in dismay, “Well, this knocks my knickers! Marshalling a feral wolf to my doorstep is nowhere among those endeavors amenable or congenial!” “A thousand pardons begged one, it would seem the beast's baneful breath hath purged me of home and sound judgement alike!” The malevolent blast of the wolf’s exhale splattered second swines shackets shortest sanctimonious scolding simultaneously. “Lo and behold!”, squealed two, “Stand we now amid wooden wreckage tremulous and vulnerable with nary a strategy for eschewing the canine devourer looming in deadly proximity!” “Strategy,” exclaimed one, “while tis noble the contemplation of tactical particularities, pressed as we are with time restraints forbidding detailed strategical conversation, I would urge we run!” *Piglet running noises* Whether by their own fleet footed competence or the wolf’s windless attitude, the bantam porkers arrived at their ultimate kindred neighbors inexpugnable brick ingress unscathed. Upon the third pigs door, with urgent hooves they pounded, calling out, “Unbar this entrance, and with haste, we beseech thee!” The third pig hailed from the American colonies, possessing a vocabulary substantially less robust than his impromptu visitors, replied, “Say, what?” “Seek we sanctuary!”, they implored on the verge of hysteria, “Lest we fall forthwith to the ravenous apatancy of yonder approaching carnivore!” Still confounded by their importinant words, pig three did render ajar his portal, whereupon one and two spilled through and collapsed beyond his threshold, ennervated. “So, yall just wanted to come in? Why didn’t ya say that?” Hiss of the wolf could be heard, “Pray the pigs, grant me entrance!” “The wolf!” said one and two. “Wolf” said three, “What ya suppose he wants?” “He seeks to gain purchase within, indeed he would occupy this very alcove were he but afforded the most meager of opportunity.” “Right. I reckon I’ll just ask him what he wants.” “Under no circumstances!” squealed two, flinging self against portal, “There is naught to be gained accosting external opponent, save our own immediate demise.” “What did you say about my momma?” House and occupants were again engulfed in a malevolent blast of wolfish wind, the foundation shook, the frame rattled, and lo, to the astonished eyes of piglets and encroaching scoundrel alike, stood the third pigs lodging, undaunted. Aghast, and befuddled two queried of three, “How does against such relentless and torrential onslaught, this domicile endure?” Pig three, puffed out chest, tapped a hoof to the hearth, and responded, “It’s American made.”
This was beyond impressive and I'm not easily impressed. I cannot remember ever being so entirely captivated by a story. Pure brilliance. Thank you Sir! For that remarkably intellectual stimulation and intense laughter 👏🤝🙌 I threw a few emojis in for extra measure. 🤣 BRAVO!
Dude's telling the 3 little pigs in old English, and you say "this was dope?" 😆 It shows the contrast between the grasp of the English language this storyteller has, and what many of these commenters have. I say "Yea, verily, this performance was exquisitely hilarious and profoundly executed! Encore! Encore!" 😆
I would like to see him do all of the old fairytales the same way, that would be a DVD I would buy a copy for myself and all of my family absolutely fantastic storytelling ability
@@grandmalovesmebest I agree...but they do so in a dry, non-comical, atmosphere..... not in a room of people wanting to laugh frequently. Credit due here, I think....The guy does a great job.
Ah, I would venture a guess that you are not a child raised by the Greatest Generation. When I was a child in the 40's and 50's, we were compelled to memorize lengthy poems as part of our educational process. We also did it at home, with each family member rendering a part of the poem from memory.
......and he replied unto thee: "Be gone shallow one....for I have begun said deed whilst thou prevaricate and yey! waste precious eco electricity in thy washing time!" Or summat like that.....
Bravo John Branyan, the best re-telling of the Three Diminutive Swine I've ever heard. Laugh though-out the telling of the story. A long time ago my wife told a story to her niece and nephews about the Three Pigs which see call "How to make Wolf Stew" they are now in their mid-thirty's and they still remember it to this day and have told the story to their own children. Thank again for a Great Re-telling of this classic story.
I'm sure the third little pig used Acme Brick, which can be purchased conveniently from Amazon or the Acme Catalog, where Wolf's third cousin Coyote orders all his supplies.
I read to mine. When others were getting new vans w DVD players with their kids glued to the screens, mine were reading aloud, to themselves, or singing multiplication tables to a CD in our old but functionally safe van. 😄 No, we weren't perfect or better. My kids also fought in the car, drove me crazy at times, and I threw a few toys out the window in frustration with them (aka mom's temper tantrum). Today they can watch all the shows they want, but most importantly, they are not only well educated academically but also have life skills. 😂 None of us turned out perfect. But, we try!
Indeed so refreshing it is to witness such a rendition of a classic timeless story, though in style sarcastic and truly unexpected. I officially love this guy.
God's truth, I must declare that I hath not before this day enjoyed such mirth and jest! To hear this classic children's tale in such a noble parlance is the joy that's best! I doubt my friends hath heard such joy afore; I'll share this with the Book of Face galore!
Omg, loved this. I remember reading Shakespeare in high school back in the 90’s and I loved it. one assignment we had was to translate one his works to modern day English. When we had to read a potion of our assignments out loud we had some hilarious translations!
And thought I that the ultimate expression of said fable had been in sooth performed erenow by minstrels of the Jelly Green. Verily I say that thine expressive vocabulary and dramatic abilities have surpassed, no thusly I swear, destroyed all previous orators of porcine protagonists and the lamented lupus. Well done, Bravo, and Thank You for rejuvenating our aged mental habits.
How verily clever ye be. Thy most of the comedy, for to seethe glee. I wanna share that with my Spanish speaking friends that are learning english. Hahaha.
Hilarious! Had rivulets of salty tears emanating from my visual orb sockets, finding their way down my cheeks which were pulsating with the laughter coming from my vocal orifice!
This should be required viewing in a high school English lit class, with appropriate quizzes and included in their final exam. Ok, how wonderful this would be for a high school stage performance ....... perhaps as a senior week project. Or, performed at a Renaissance Fair.
Love his rendition of the three little pig children's tale. It would be very interesting to hear the same kind of version of other fairy tales. Excellent, just excellent!
Brilliantly composed and told! Never could any have been better written than this! Fantastic! Such great research and intellect. Love the intonation and expression. So much to learn from his story-telling skills. Shakespearen art indeed! Such great quality of comedy that is standard above all else! BRAVO. Wish could be more. So addictive, enjoyable yet educational.

This reminds me of a high school Economics paper I wrote one time. Our teacher assigned us to read any fiction novel of our choosing and explain the plot in terms of economics. I didn't want to read some huge book if I didn't have to, so I chose Green Eggs and Ham. And I explained every. single. sentence. in as verbose Wall Street-speak as I could. Got an A+, too! As for this guy, we actually read his Triune Tale of Diminutive Swine book every year around Christmas, passing it to a new person each year and seeing if they can read it out loud without messing up any words or laughing. Idk how on earth he managed to memorize it, even though he's the author!
I don’t know what’s more impressive. That he wrote this or that he memorized. Brilliant!!
I was amazed at his memory. Impressive.
Incredible!!!
I TOTALLY AGREE. HE'S FABULOUS!

You need to publish THIS version of THE 3 LITTLE PIGS! I would buy many and give them out as added presents for Birthdays or Christmas. You nailed it! I LOVE IT!! BRAVO!
He already did.
Even the Big Bad Wolf is impressed by this. His voice is awesome. He needs to record a complete audiobook of the nursery rhymes. His deep voice of the third pig is awesome. I could listen to his story telling all day
That would be wonderful!!!!

True, but henceforth, even the women were banned from performing comedy, including Her Majesty, Elizabeth I, Regina of England. It doth take me great pains to try to understand such an obstinate stance on who plays women in plays, other than male eunuchs, aye?

@Hope For the Planet Well spoken. I hate woe!
You rock, John Branyan.

I’m unsure which is more remarkable, that someone came up with this or that I understood everything that was said.
Now, you’re just showing off! :-)
Just remembering the whole thing is incredible
how millennial of you... maketh this thou all about thyself lol
@@natew5544 I should have provided context. I’m middle aged which is why I said it was remarkable that I was able to follow it all. I wasn’t expressing arrogance, but surprise considering my mind isn’t exactly young. Also, I am truly amazed at his skill which is why I called it remarkable. Sorry if that wasn’t made clear from my statement.
@@weaponizedmath4369 I agree. This is Carlin-level memorization.
I think most people get turned off to Shakespeare in school when they have to read it. This kind of language is meant to be performed and that is made very clear here.
A good teacher actually WANTS you to engage in that manner. Kids simply don't want to for shy nature of their age. The teachers are too afraid to push because pressure isn't something they want to give.
Most teachers would be excited of their children performed the readings.
Shakespeare had a vocabulary of 54,000 words... some of which he made up himself.
say wut?
@@agonleed3841 But, prithee I say, that that shan't be necessarily nor verily a bad thing, for I find it most opportune to learn even both Low and High English of that time, but, alas! I don't have the time right thus as I, inasmuch, do have a tutelage in commercial agriculture within the University of Western Australia, wherein thee would find the most unassuming professorships and most unfathomable list of opportunities therein. It would be preposterous to not taketh the advantage through whence it presents itself, savvy?
Amen, brother! During my 35 + years of teaching English language and literature, I could never understand why other teachers would first require their students to read a Shakespearean play, and then require said students to discuss the very item which, unless they were reared reading the King James Version of The Bible, they could not hope to understand. Then those very same teachers would require the students, who had very limited understanding to try to perform the play orally. Disaster! At the end of the teaching unit, those same teachers would finally reward the befuddled students by showing them a professional production of said Shakespearean play. Aha! When it was too late for the students to actually begin caring, they got to witness the wonder of Shakespearean drama. But, since they already knew that it was horrible for them, they simply ignored the performance as a rule. Why not BEGIN with the professionally-performed play, discuss it as fully as possible, and then, and only then, encourage the students to read important passages from the play, and/or allow /encourage a close reading of the play while listening to a professional audio performance of the play, complete with frequent stops for discussion and contemplation???? Those audio recordings have, for at least the last 45 years, been widely available to the teaching profession!!! AAAIUUUGGGHHH!!!!!!

This is the type of comedy I like the most. Focusing on Punchlines, and not Obscenities.
And what a punchline!
I agree Jennifer. If you have to use obscenities to get a laugh you aren't funny.
Obscene or shock humor has it's place. Comedy of a higher caliber that can appeal across generational gaps is genius. The 'Wanna be' romantic in me often climbs to the surface and is a 'character' I slip into that speaks Shakespeirian with an over the top lack of ability to speak Shakespirian - ie - Harketh goest I forth unto which narry be not thine for mine be that which witch could upon thy vary cast shadows for with nor narry a spot quencheth a thirst born this our day once reckoned shall wreck again once more than one.

Duane Marsh Except nowadays most American consumer products are made in China to crappy Chinese standards. Pax
@@rduff1999 Actually not true, worked in industry & business in China for 15yrs. The specifications you're getting in your stores, are the specifications of the customer (the store) buying the product .
China has a domestic spec and a spec for their customers. There's a reason why people in China would go buy their electronics in Hong Kong, 2 in fact. 1 they were actually cheaper, 2, they were made to western often superior spec.

What a delight to hear the English language spoken properly once again! It rings as a most delightsome musical symphony unto my ears, which would, if able they would be and legs they had, as most agreeable partners to such an inspired move of ecstatic expression they most certainly are, waltz up and away, into the night, high unto the heavens, lifted by the lilting waves of these orchestral notes, known to some as…words. What an exceeding joy erupting in my heart! How I long,…nay, yearn, to hear it always spoken thusly!

Mr.Branyan should make a series of these, that was brilliant.
Saw him do this live several years ago. Had hundreds of tired homeschool parents laughing hysterically 🤣😜!
Surprised they had the social skills?
Perhaps tired homeschooling parents could try interfacing with professional English teachers of the caliber who make Shakespeare fun for their students. Please see my reply to Phrygian...

THIS WAS JUST BRILLIANT. Rewirte all fairy tales
Rewrite even.
Someone PLEASE hire this guy to rewrite ALL of our fairy tales so that they can be performed in plays !
Just go to Europe, they are all written like that
Yes, They would be as much fun as what Gregory McGuire gave us with his new perspective on characters and plots for the fairy tales. Wicked, Witch of the West, Confessions of a Stepsister and others, but by this man in fabulous language.
Most excellent idea!
Yes definitely need them if only to keep our sanity.... please please please bring us more.😃
Nah, it would never work; it would be impossible to do. One would require a Victorian Age computer to be able to enter the language, and as far as I know, none exist. You try entering that on a modern computer and spell checker would flag every single word, and God help you if you have AUTOCORRECT turned on!

I read an early version of "the Swiss Family Robinson" to my visiting Grandson who was having learning and reading difficulties at school. The book was full of this style of colorful talking. It turned a switch and my Grandson caught up in school the next school year.
Wish I could give this comment a thousand thumbs up!!
My grandson had a diagnosed learning disability combined with Autism. One of his legs was even shorter than the other! I gave him a copy of George Carlin's "Last Words" in which he became immersed. He soon discovered through critical thinking that he was brainwashed into thinking he had a disability and became the star of his high school track team. He is now Dean of an Ivy League university. His left leg is STILL shorter than the other, but hikes on hilly paths are much easier for him that way.
@@nortonnewmann3711 , did you pull his leg as you do mine?
Given his learning disability and, therefore, probable diminishment of comprehension, it is more than likely that the addled lad took it to heart that if he failed in his endeavor to ascend the rankings within his academic milieu, he risked eternal banishment to a deserted island.
Bet he can run circles around others......
Jaw-dropping fairy tale from a true comic genius. I hope that he writes a brilliant screenplay about anything. And hires actors that can keep up with his storytelling.
Kenneth Branagh could!

Oh my dear brother. Please just take an aspirin and perhaps a little nap, as you have exhausted your faculties. Be made aware that we humans, have limited devotions to the art of storytelling.

Reading old literature definitely improves one's vocabulary and comprehension of the written word
Beatrix Potter's classics are awesome
Indeed. So many beautiful words are lost.
But "Made in America" should mean something as well.
Agreed! Even WATCHING old literature ... hence, 20 yrs later, I still incorporate vocabulary from films, "Sense & Sensibility" and "Pride & Prejudice," into mine own.

Who says there is no intelligent comedy? This man is amazing! Can you imagine all the combinations of words living in his head? Definitely worth subscribing to his channel.
Here's the transcription:
In time past, though not long ago there lived pigs in stature little, in number, three, who, being of an age both entitled and inspired to seek their fortune, did set about to do thusly.
When they had traveled a distance, pig numbered first spake saying, “Harken brethren heed this tempestuous realm tarry we long from hearth and home, we shall fare, I fear, *oink* not well!”
And so, being collectively agreed, but individually impelled, the diminutive swine set about each to erect for himself an abode. Pig numbered first did construct his house from straw, pig numbered second did likewise, though rather, not from straw, instead from sticks, meanwhile, unique in his imagining pig numbered three did erect as his domicile stalwart and garish a structure made from brick entirely.
Ah, but soon, there happened along, as is frequently the scenario in classic tale of protagonist pig, or red hooded child. A wolf carnivorous nature in full season he called out to the straw ensconced swine saying, “Pray thee little pig, grant me entrance!”, but pig one recalled with sage foreboding, that “He is mad who trusts in the tameness of a belly binched wolf!”, and responded immediately, “Nay! It shall not be! Indeed, not by wit or whiskered jowel!”
To this most expected response the wolf replied immediately, “Then steal thyself little pig forthwith shall I endeavor in blowing means both huffing and puffing to dismantle yon flippant flaxen fortress!”
Whereupon there issued forth from the wolf an exhale of gale proportions, that quickly rendered straw hovel to dregs and dross, and carried aloft piglet and shattered quarters both, exposed now to claw and fang, piglet one made haste, wolf in pursuit, to the stick festooned sanctum of peccary secondary, causing pig two to cry out in dismay, “Well, this knocks my knickers! Marshalling a feral wolf to my doorstep is nowhere among those endeavors amenable or congenial!”
“A thousand pardons begged one, it would seem the beast's baneful breath hath purged me of home and sound judgement alike!”
The malevolent blast of the wolf’s exhale splattered second swines shackets shortest sanctimonious scolding simultaneously.
“Lo and behold!”, squealed two, “Stand we now amid wooden wreckage tremulous and vulnerable with nary a strategy for eschewing the canine devourer looming in deadly proximity!”
“Strategy,” exclaimed one, “while tis noble the contemplation of tactical particularities, pressed as we are with time restraints forbidding detailed strategical conversation, I would urge we run!”
*Piglet running noises*
Whether by their own fleet footed competence or the wolf’s windless attitude, the bantam porkers arrived at their ultimate kindred neighbors inexpugnable brick ingress unscathed. Upon the third pigs door, with urgent hooves they pounded, calling out, “Unbar this entrance, and with haste, we beseech thee!”
The third pig hailed from the American colonies, possessing a vocabulary substantially less robust than his impromptu visitors, replied, “Say, what?”
“Seek we sanctuary!”, they implored on the verge of hysteria, “Lest we fall forthwith to the ravenous apatancy of yonder approaching carnivore!”
Still confounded by their importinant words, pig three did render ajar his portal, whereupon one and two spilled through and collapsed beyond his threshold, ennervated.
“So, yall just wanted to come in? Why didn’t ya say that?”
Hiss of the wolf could be heard, “Pray the pigs, grant me entrance!”
“The wolf!” said one and two.
“Wolf” said three, “What ya suppose he wants?”
“He seeks to gain purchase within, indeed he would occupy this very alcove were he but afforded the most meager of opportunity.”
“Right. I reckon I’ll just ask him what he wants.”
“Under no circumstances!” squealed two, flinging self against portal, “There is naught to be gained accosting external opponent, save our own immediate demise.”
“What did you say about my momma?”
House and occupants were again engulfed in a malevolent blast of wolfish wind, the foundation shook, the frame rattled, and lo, to the astonished eyes of piglets and encroaching scoundrel alike, stood the third pigs lodging, undaunted. Aghast, and befuddled two queried of three, “How does against such relentless and torrential onslaught, this domicile endure?”
Pig three, puffed out chest, tapped a hoof to the hearth, and responded, “It’s American made.”
Wow!
Thank you!
Wow!!! Thank you for this transcription!

Thank again for a Great Re-telling of this classic story.
I'm sure the third little pig used Acme Brick, which can be purchased conveniently from Amazon or the Acme Catalog, where Wolf's third cousin Coyote orders all his supplies.

I read to mine. When others were getting new vans w DVD players with their kids glued to the screens, mine were reading aloud, to themselves, or singing multiplication tables to a CD in our old but functionally safe van. 😄 No, we weren't perfect or better.

This reminds me of a high school Economics paper I wrote one time. Our teacher assigned us to read any fiction novel of our choosing and explain the plot in terms of economics. I didn't want to read some huge book if I didn't have to, so I chose Green Eggs and Ham. And I explained every. single. sentence. in as verbose Wall Street-speak as I could. Got an A+, too!
As for this guy, we actually read his Triune Tale of Diminutive Swine book every year around Christmas, passing it to a new person each year and seeing if they can read it out loud without messing up any words or laughing. Idk how on earth he managed to memorize it, even though he's the author!
