The Three Little Javelinas


This is an adaptation of "The Three Little Pigs." It is done in a southwestern manner. A javelina is a relative of a pig that is also related to the hippopotamus. The first javelina built his house out of tumble weed. A coyote came along and blew his house down; however, the little javelina escaped. The second little javelina built his house from sticks out of a dried-up cactus. The first javelina joined him to rest in his house when the coyote found them and blew the house down. They escaped again. The third javelina bought adobe bricks and built her house. She welcomed her brothers to stay with her and the coyote couldn't blow her house down. He tried to fit through the stove pipe, but she lit a fire in the stove. He was burned and let out a "bark, cackle, howl, and scream at the same time. He still makes that noise when he remembers the pain. So, when you hear a coyote, you know where the sound comes from.
