The Tale of the Three Little Pigs Reading Notes part A


There once were three little pigs who were sent out by their mom to make their own fortune.

So the first pig went out on his journey to find materials to build a home with. He stumbled upon a man who was selling bundles of straw. The pig thought to himself, what a great material to build a home with! So he took the straw and began construction on his new home.

He had finished building his house and he was content with what he made when a big bad wolf came by. He saw the pig inside of his home and he told the pig to let him in his house, the pig denied him access so the wolf huffed and he puffed and he blew the pigs house down. He then devoured the poor little pig.

The next pig went on his journey to build his home when he came to a man selling bundles of sticks. He thought to himself, what great materials to build my home with! So he took the bundle of sticks and began construction on his house.

He had finished building his house and he was content with what he made when a big bad wolf came by. He saw the pig inside of his home and he told the pig to let him in his house, the pig denied him access so the wolf huffed and he puffed and he blew the pigs house down. The wolf then ate the pig who built with sticks.

The last of the three little pigs went out to construct his home when he came upon a man selling bricks. This pig knew that this would be the best material to build his home with so he took the bricks and began construction on his home.

He had finished construction when the big bad wolf came by. He demanded that the piglet him into his home but the pig refused. So the wolf huffed and he puffed and he tried with all his might to blow the house down. But he could not, the house was too strong. The wolf was discouraged and had no option but to go home, and the pig lived happily ever after.

Introduction Post

Sooner Schooner taking a ride on Owen Field Link Hello class, this is my formal introduction post to tell you more about me.  I guess we should start off with the basics, my name is Ryan Ard, I am a junior here at OU, and my major is Public Relations. One of my favorite things to do is to be an active Oklahoma RUF/NEK member. Through the Oklahoma RUF/NEKS I care for the school's official mascot the Sooner Schooner as well as care for and maintain Boomer and Sooner, OU's two white welsh ponies.  When people ask me if I have hobbies I usually can't think of any on the spot because I am always busy fulfilling responsibilities with the club or planning for future events with the club. I guess some would say that my membership in this club has consumed my life but I think the contrary is true. This club has opened up so many opportunities for me and without my membership, I wouldn't be involved with many of the opportunities I have had. Through this orga

Week 7 Story "The Boiled Bat"

Bush Rat One day the Bat and the Bush Rat were eating together in a field. They both made soup at their homes and brought it to eat with each other. The Rat asked if he could try the Bats soup and he did. The Rat exclaimed, "Wow! this soup is so good, it tastes so sweet and savory." The Rat asked the bat how in the world he made his soup so good. The Bat, knowing he could pull one over the rat, exclaimed, "You see Rat, I simply boil myself in the broth of the soup before I make it. My flesh sweetens it up." The Rat replied, "Wow, how interesting. That is something I will have to try." They both parted ways and went home. On the way home the Rat became upset. You see the rat had already asked the Bats wife how the soup was made but he had forgotten. So when he asked the bat for the recipe so he could remember and he replied with boiling himself in the broth the Rat knew he was lying. He knew that he couldn't forget something that outrageous. S

Week 4 Story "The Healing Parable"

Hole in Roof Authors Note: This is a retelling of the  Followers of Jesus  Story from the perspective of an onlooker. I didn't know much about this Jesus Guy everyone was so crazy about. I am just a regular Shepard. I tend to my flock, come into town to get a meal, maybe buy some garb, nothing exciting. But today was a different day from the moment I left my home. I could see the commotion in town from far away, crowds were gathered all around. I couldn't make the connection to what they were so concerned about until I got closer. That's when I first heard the name, Jesus. I had heard of him before on my previous visits to town, some teacher or holy man or something, I wasn't too sure. I never concerned myself with any of that anyway. I thought though if this celebrity were in town I might as well try to see what all of the commotion. I heard a few people say "I heard he's coming to this house!" so I thought I would go try and get a good spot
