Comment on The three little pigs is actually just the aristocracy blaming the poor for their problems

I legit have a copy of this story somewhere that ends with a “the moral is…” statement along the lines of “that’s why you should work hard and not be lazy”.

Like, what? We did not cover the work ethic of the pigs at all here. As far as I can tell, they each built an entire goddamn house! What about the wolf?

The version I remember being told had the first little pig just look around and see straw, the second little pig had to go gather sticks from the nearby woods, and the third little pig had to actually make the bricks over days.

I prefer the Green Jelly version of the story.

“The moral of the story is a band with no talent can easily amuse idiots with a stupid puppet show.”

The cover by Green Jelly explains it better

  I know this is days late, but I’m glad to see the canonical version with Rammmmmmmbo mentioned.

And that’s why you should use tools instead of trying to blow a house down if you wanna eat some little pigs.
