The Three Little Pigs and the What Wolf by Isla McDonald Murray

Read by Catherine Cusack from the BBC Radio Drama Company.

After the Big, Bad Wolf had blown down the house of sticks and the house of straws the three little pigs lived happily in their house of bricks but sometimes they still got visits from wolves who wanted to break in.
One day a WhatWolf came to their door and knocked.

"Who is there?" said one of the pigs.
"I'm just a friendly visitor" said the WhatWolf. "I just want to ask you three questions. If you get any wrong you must let me in" The wolf laughed quietly behind his disguise. "If you get the questions right you can have a trip to the mud pool for free"

The pigs were very excited because they loved the mud pool, but they felt very, very suspicious.

"Okay" said the pigs together.

The wolf sniggered and rubbed his hands. "The first question is easy" he said. "What is your name?"

The youngest piggy answered, but she was very clever. "My name is Alexa" said the youngest piggy.

"See that was easy" said the What Wolf. "Well, Alexa, what is the capital of Jamaica?" Ha, ha, ha giggled the WhatWolf

"The capital of Jamaica is Kingston" said Alexa

Now the pigs giggled in excitement. The WhatWolf was fuming under his hat. If they get the last question right the WhatWolf would scream!

"OK, here is the last question. If you get it wrong then you have to let me in. Alexa, what is 9,753,105 times 95,842?" Silly pigs won't know this, thought the WhatWolf

Then Alexa said "9,753,105 times 95,842 is 934,757,089,410." The wolf screamed so loud his disguise completely came off. Then the pigs looked out the window and saw him running down the road waving his arms.

"I am glad you got me that new Alexa for my Christmas" said the youngest piggy and they all laughed.

"Who wants to go to the mud pool with me" she asked.

"Lets go" shouted the other two pigs and after that they all went to the mud pool and lived happily ever after.
