Synopsis

[View Full Script]
The Three Little Pigs (Babe, Gordy, and Wilbur) are moving out into the big, wide world.
Gordy, the first pig, is always in a hurry. He therefore seizes upon the first spot that he sees: near a broad, well-traveled road paved with - what else? - good intentions. These, he discovers, make an excellent building material. In no time whatsoever, the house is built. Of course, when the Big Bad Wolf (who sounds suspiciously like Arnold Scwartznegger) appears, he is able to knock down the wimpy little shack with nothing but a sneeze. That, I'm afraid, is the end of Gordy.
Babe, the second pig, is far more cautious. She finds a cute, isolated little spot near a quite creek, and spends considerably more time on her house, which she builds from good works. Unfortunately, winter turns the creek into a raging river, which begins to flood her house. It also brings the Big Bad Wolf who is able to knock down the house with his little finger. Poor Babe.
Wilbur, however, is far more intelligent. He doesn't stop searching for a good spot until he finds the solid rock of Jesus. He spends months building his house out of all the finest materials - gold, silver, and precious stones. When the wolf comes, he is unable to even budge Wilbur's house. He attempts to climb down the chimney, but Wilbur is cooking a big pot of Holy Spirit Soup, whose scent the Big Bad Wolf cannot tolerate. Although he comes back many times, he can never shake the solid foundation of Wilbur's home.
The Moral? Build your house on the Rock, or be a Ham Sandwich.
