Homage to Daniil Kharms

One day, three little pigs set out to build their homes. One built his house out of straw, the second out of sticks, and the third out of bricks.


But just as the pigs were finishing their homes, a wolf appeared on the scene to try and blow down their houses with his breath alone.


The first pig’s straw house remained standing as did the second pig’s stick house. The third pig’s brick house, however, crumbled to the ground.


The wolf, feeling triumphant, went to eat the third pig. But as he was about to take a bite, the third pig suddenly vanished into thin air.


The wolf, bewildered, turned to the first and second pigs and asked, “Where did your brother go?”


But the pigs just shrugged and replied, “We have no idea. He was here one minute and gone the next. It’s a mystery.”


And so, the wolf left, still wondering what had happened to the third pig.
