One Big Wolf

Here's a little story you know

Three pigs run into houses

A big wolf huffs and puffs and blows

The pigs hide like little mouses

Yet here is what you don't quite know

The wolf was a great magician

He wanted to put on a show

Yet was denied by suspicion

As the wolf walked sadly away

Near the house, there sprung a huge fire

The wolf told the pigs, "You can't stay!"

Yet the pigs called him "Big Liar"

With a large puff, he blew it down

Yet there was not a single cheer

One pig told the wolf with a frown,

"Bad Wolf!" You cannot remain here!

Yet the wolf left with a big grin

Because he had lived by his creed:

"It is not who claps when you win;

Sometimes the joy is in the deed."
