Why'd he eat me?


Once upon a time

A wolf was abandoned by his mother.

With no sisters nor brothers,

He became a family of one.

Days of roaming alone became weeks.

Then months.

Then years.

His loneliness soon consumed him.

But just then!

He found a pig to befriend.

The pig would not let him inside his house though.

The wolf even tried to go apple picking with the pig.

But the pig always left early. 

Desperate for friendship, the wolf enters through the pig's chimney.

Unfortunately, the pig had set up a boiling pot at the bottom.

And ate the wolf.
