random re-write for school a while ago.
At one point in time, most likely a very long time ago, there were three pigs of a rather diminutive nature. These small creatures decided that it was time to transplant themselves to a distant landmass where they would attempt to acquire large amounts of the local currency. They decided, when they arrived in the far off landmass, to design and construct four-sided structures in which to dwell. The first diminutive pig constructed a four-sided dwelling out of the long, dried, yellow strands of fibrous vegetation. The second diminutive pig designed his four-sided dwelling in such a way that the construction materials needed for the dwelling came from the larger varieties of vegetation , which often grew to a great height, and upon cutting were dried and bundled to create the structure. The third pig, being less diminutive than the other two, and having been educated at a foreign school of great prestige, designed his dwelling place to exact industry standard specifications, obeying zoning rules in the area. He laid out his floor plan w/ great accuracy and his construction materials were well suited to hold up and strengthen the structure being constructed. Using artificial stone made from moistened soil and the fibrous vegetation used to construct the dwelling of the first pig, and heated to an excessively high temperature in a large heat producing room, then colored with Red # 14, Yellow # 5 and Blue # 9. This dwelling, once it was completed was the most reliable of the three buildings.
After some increment of time, there came along a large carnivorous canine, whose favorite delicacy was diminutive pig. So, the canine went to the door of the dwelling of the first aforementioned herbivore and repeatedly laid his front appendage heavily on the entrance portal. The aforementioned pig answered from inside, requesting to obtain the knowledge of who it might be laying their front appendage on his door so heavily. The canine declared that he wished to come in and called the pig by name. The pig, being not entirely brainless, refused the canine entrance. This did not set well with the canine. So ,stating what he was doing, he inflated his lungs to the greatest capacity and expelled the contents therein with great force in the general direction of the dwelling, thereby destroying it, leaving the poor diminutive pig to the mercy of the canine…. Who ate him and showed no mercy.
The canine then proceeded to move to the dwelling of the next aforementioned pig. Having tried and carried out a procedure at the dwelling of the former pig and seeing that the process functioned well, he followed the same procedure at this dwelling, with the same messy result.
Upon arriving at the dwelling of the third pig, he again requested entry. Upon the refusal of the pig, the large carnivorous canine again inflated his lungs to their utmost capacity and expelled the compound therein in the general direction of the dwelling as forcefully as he was able to do. However, the effect that this process had on the previously mentioned houses did not occur, much to the canine’s perplexity. Therefore, he attempted the feat again, and again, until he was quite unable to re-create the process anymore.
However, the canine was a very intelligent creature, and well versed in the ways of subterfuge and covert operations. Therefore, he quickly ascended to the topmost part of the dwelling in search of the portal through which excess carbon dioxide and water vapor were expelled from the dwelling. Now, under normal circumstances, the canine would have trod very lightly on the top of the structure, but, because of his recent internal use of the formerly described pigs for the purpose of nourishment, he was much heavier and the pig inside the dwelling heard him walking around looking for the portal. This gave the pig an idea. He quickly piled materials such as his second sibling had used to construct his dwelling into the large orifice in the wall opposite the entrance portal and started a reaction within them which released large amounts of excess heat. The pig then placed a large cooking implement directly above the reaction and filled it with the chemical compound known as H2O. This compound, because of the excessive amount of energy produced by the reaction beneath it, soon took on a rolling bubbling texture on the surface and became highly heated. The canine, meanwhile, having found the portal had begun to make his way down its shaft, which as it descended became wider and wider, which allowed the canine to stop climbing and simply drop down the rest of the length of the shaft. The canine, realizing this, promptly followed just such a course of action. Unfortunately for him, he did not realize until much too late that the bubbling substance was below him and directly in the path of his descent. Thus, the result of the descent of the canine was that he fell vertically into the hot bubbling compound and was quickly stripped of his flesh, nerves and other vital parts, thereby ceasing to contain life in his body and consequently, ceasing to give trouble to the pig.
