One day the teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs.

She said, “…and so the pig went up to the man with a wheelbarrow full of straw and said ‘Pardon me, sir, but might I have some of that straw to build my house with?'”

Then the teacher asked the class, “And what do you think that man said?”

One boy raised his hand and said, “I know! I know!”

“He said, ‘Holy smokes! A talking pig!'”
