"True Story of the 3 Little Pigs" by Lane Smith retells the classic tale from the perspective of the Big Bad Wolf, who insists he is not the villain everyone believes him to be. According to the Wolf, he was simply trying to borrow a cup of sugar for his dear old Granny when the three little pigs overreacted to his sneezing, leading to a series of misunderstandings and unfortunate events. With wit and humor, the story challenges the notion of good versus evil, suggesting that there are always two sides to every story, and that appearances can be deceiving.
