Straw House

Notes:

I'm Frank Lloyd Wolf, a recent graduate of R.U. Ready Architectural College. Naturally I was anxious to apply my recently acquired knowledge and make a name for myself in the world of design.

One day, as I strolled through the country I came upon a little pig who was busy building a house of straw. Being an expert licensed architect, I wanted to point out to him how structurally unsound this building would be. As I sauntered up to Mr. F. L. Pig, he hurried into his home. I decided to examine the plan and structure of his house so I would be well informed when I discussed it with him. There was no foundation or chimney. The material used for the exterior and roof was straw. I felt I had sufficient understanding of his house so that I could present a structurally sound design to him. I walked up to Mr. Pig's door and asked, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." I couldn't believe his answer.
