The Three Biblical Little Pigs
Once upon a time there were three little pigs and the time came for them to leave home. Their father told them: “Each of you should be careful how he builds” (1 Cor 3:10).
The first little pig built his house out of straw (1 Cor 3:12) because it was the easiest thing to do. The second little pig built his house out of wood (1 Cor 3:12), this was a little bit stronger than a straw house. The third little pig built his house out of gold (1 Cor 3:12).
Finally the Day of Judgment came and their homes were “shown for what it is… the fire tested the quality of each mans work” (1 Cor 3:13). The first and second homes were “burned up” (1 Cor 3:14) and the little pigs “suffered loss” (1 Cor 3:14) but they themselves “were saved, but only as one escaping through the flames” (1 Cor 3:14). The third little pig’s house “survived” (1 Cor 3:14) and “he will receive his reward” (1 Cor 3:14). And he lived happily ever after.
