In The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, we get to hear the familiar tale from the wolf's perspective. The wolf claims that he was trying to get a cup of sugar for a birthday cake for his sweet old granny when the three little pigs were rude to him. He sneezed and accidentally blew the first two pigs' houses down.
