How many missing apostrophes are there in this story?
A puzzle to do with children and Grandchildren.
The three little pigs lived with their
mother. One day, the pigs mother said,
8You cant live here anymore, the house is
too full. Dont forget to be careful of
wolves - whoever builds the strongest
house will be safe!9
So the pigs went off to build houses. The
first little pigs house was made of straw.
Soon, the big, bad wolf came along. He
hadnt eaten all day. When he saw the pigs
house he growled, 8Little pig, little pig, let
me in!9
8Not by the hairs on my chinny chin chin!9 came the piggys voice.
8Then Ill huff and Ill puff and Ill blow your house in!9 the wolf said.
So the little pigs house was destroyed and he ran to his brothers house.
The second little pigs house was made of sticks. The pigs thought theyd be
safe there. Soon, however, the wolf appeared. When he saw the pigs in
their house he growled, 8Little pig, little pig, let me in!9
8Not by the hairs on our chinny chin chins!9 came the pigs voices.
8Its huffing and puffing time again!9 the wolf snarled. The house of sticks
was destroyed by the wolfs blowing. The pigs ran away.
Finally, the pigs arrived at their brothers dwelling. It was made from bricks.
The brothers locked the houses front door and hid under the beds.
8Little pig, little pig, let me in!9
8Not by the hairs on our chinny chin chins!9
8This house is finished!9 snarled the wolf, 8Ill blow its bricks down in no
time!9
This time the wolfs lungs were not strong enough to destroy the house and
he decided to try the pigs chimney instead.
However, the pigs had cleverly lit a fire and the wolfs bottom was set on
fire.
8Arrrrgh!9 came the wolfs howling voice as he disappeared down the lane
clutching his smoking backside, 8Thats the last time I try something like
that!9
