It was another slow day in the office. Actually, it had been
a slow week in the office. No, if the truth be known,
it had been a lousy month for the Third Pig Detective
Agency. That’s me by the way: Harry Pigg, the Third Pig.
Where did the name come from? Well, I was the pig
that built the house out of bricks while my idiot brothers
took the easy route and went for cowboy builders and cheap
materials. Let me tell you, wood and straw ain’t much use
when Mr Wolf comes calling. Those guys were pork-chops
as soon as he drew in his first breath and filled those giant
lungs of his. Blow your house down, indeed.
