Trifextra – Week Eighty-Two – Straw, Sticks and Bricks

The weekend Trifecta Prompt is posted and the poor editors are feeling the effects of a long summer. Consequently we are tasked with crafting a 33 word bedtime story that will not keep the children up screaming for their parents. This reminded me of a time when my son requested I tell the story of the Three Little Pigs every night at bedtime. During this period I was working some very long hours and getting up very early, so some nights I tried to slide by with an abbreviated version, although not quite as brief as the following. It never worked, as he knew it well enough to prompt me with the pieces I excluded.

Once upon a time three pigs moved out. Got their own places; built them of straw, stick and brick. Wolf came, puffed down straw and sticks, but not the bricks. Wolf went hungry.
