“Did you ever hear the tale of The Five Little Pigs?” said Dad.
“Don’t you mean, The Three Little Pigs?” asked Robert.
“Forget what you know. There are actually five of them.”
“Then why does everyone think there are three?” asked Robert.
“There are a number of theories. It is believed that people would not have the attention span for the story of five pigs. There are also theories that eco-warriors have lived amongst us for many a year, making sure paper is saved at every turn. Some people just believe that three is a lucky number.”
“So what did the other two pigs make their house from?” asked Robert.
“There were not five houses. The pigs weren’t that stupid,” claimed Robert’s father.
“How can we find out?” asked Robert. “Surely someone knows what happened. Can’t we go to the land where the stories are based?”
“That is a great idea and the only way for us to be sure. The trouble is that nobody knows exactly where it is.”
“Then we need to find a person that knows where it is.” claimed Robert.
“You have a wild sense of adventure, my son. Let’s find out where the village is.”
Robert started to open his father’s laptop. His next move was to open Google.
“We won’t find the answers on Google. There’s a bookshop in town. The man who works there seems to have a little too much knowledge. Sleep well, we will visit him in the morning.”
They go to the bookshop to see Mr Mann.
“You are not the first people to theorise about the five little pigs. I’m not sure where the village is but I have a few contacts. Give me one week and I can supply you with the location of the village.”
“Thank you, Mr Mann,” said Dad. "If it is not too much trouble."
"It will be worth it," said Mr Mann. "I'll be coming with you."

Story reflection
I like this one. Maybe this is one that could be in three parts (or five). Maybe someone wants to continue this as a WeWrite. I’m open to that suggestion.
