The Three Little Pigs (excerpt)

The animal I really dig,

Above all others is the pig.

Pigs are noble. Pigs are clever.

Pigs are courteous. However,

Now and then, to break this rule,

One meets a pig who is a fool.

What, for example, would you say,

If strolling through the woods one day,

Right there in front of you, you saw

A pig who'd built his house of STRAW?

The Wolf who saw it licked his lips,

And said, "That pig has had its chips."

"Little pig, little pig, let me come in!"

"No, no, by the hairs on my chinny chin chin!"

Cinderella (excerpt)

Then midnight struck. She shouted, "Heck!

I've got to run to save my neck!"

The Prince cried, "No! Alas! Alack!"

He grabbed her dress to hold her back.

As Cindy shouted, "Let me go!"

The dress was ripped from head to toe.

She ran out in her underwear,

And lost one slipper on the stair.

The Prince was on it like a dart,

He pressed it to his pounding heart,

"The girl this slipper fits," he cried

"Tomorrow morn shall be my bride!"

Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf (excerpt)

As soon as Wolf began to feel

That he would like a decent meal,

He went and knocked on Grandma's door;

When Grandma opened it, she saw

The sharp white teeth, the horrid grin,

And Wolfie said, "May I come in?

Poor Grandmamam was terrified,

"He's going to eat me up!" she cried,

And she was absolutely right,

He ate her up in one big bite.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears (excerpt)

Now just imagine how you'd feel

If you had cooked a lovely meal

Delicious porridge, steaming hot

Fresh coffee in the coffee pot

With maybe toast and marmalade

The table beautifully laid

One place for you and one for Dad

Another for your little lad

Then Dad cries, "Golly gosh! Gee whizz!

Oh cripes! How hot this porridge is!

Let's take a walk along the street

Until it's cool enough to eat.

- Roald Dahl
