Safe in their house, the wolf tries to bargain with the pigs.


The wolf, he spake

 

"make no mistake"

 

"I do not wish"

 

"your hide to bake"

 

The pigs came out

 

but with a stake

 

so would the wolf

 

their souls, not take

 

but wolves aren't scared of sharpened stakes

 

the sorry pigs made a mistake
