The Three Little Pigs
Once upon a time, there were three homeless little pigs. They wanted a home, so they started making a home for themselves, but they were all wary of the Big Bad Al-Qaeda Wolf marauding their neighborhood.
The first little pig, Hillary Clinton, built her home out of bricks. She felt that would make her secure. The Big Bad Al-Qaeda Wolf came. He said, "Let Me In!"
"Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!", replied Hillary.
"OK, then I shall huff, and I shall puff, and I shall BLOW your house down!", replied the Wolf. And the Wolf huffed, and he puffed, and he BLEW Hillary's house down. It fell like a ton of bricks, and Hillary headed for the hills.
The second little pig, John McCain, built his home out of bombs. He wanted to blow Al-Qaeda to bits. The Big Bad Al-Qaeda Wolf came. He said, "Let Me In!"
"Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!", replied John.
"OK, then I shall huff, and I shall puff, and I shall BLOW your house down!", replied the Wolf. And the Wolf huffed, and he puffed, and he BLEW John's house down. The house then blew up into smithereens, and that was the end of John McCain.
The third little pig, Barack Obama, built his home out of hope. He felt that people with hope would not listen to a big bad wolf. But the Big Bad Al-Qaeda Wolf came up anyway to his house, and said, "Let Me In!"
"Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!", said Barack.
"OK, then I shall huff, and I shall puff, and I shall BLOW your house down!", replied the Wolf. And the Wolf huffed, and he puffed, and he huffed and he puffed, and Barack's house bent and swayed with the Al-Qaeda wind, at times bending almost to the ground. But it would always pop back up. So the Wolf huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed again. Again the house swayed and twisted around, but it came back up OK. So the wolf huffed… choke… and puffed , and he got really winded for he was really getting tired and weak. The house continued to sway but not as much. The wolf continued to huff and huff and huff, until all at once he fell to the ground and died. Barack Obama's house stood fully intact, the same as it was.
"You see", said Barack, "if we all had hope for our future, and if we acted on our hopes to build a better world for everyone on it, there would be no need for an Al-Qaeda Wolf, and so there would be no such wolf."
And with that, the world, under his leadership, began to look to a brighter future.
