Summary:There is a witch that is hungry for something delicious. She decides that Piggie Pie sounds really good so she goes to her recipe book and sees that she has all of the ingredients except the pigs. She pulls out her phone book to look for a place to find pigs. She finds an ad for Old MacDonald’s Farm and she grabs her broom and flies there. The pigs hear that she wants pigs though so they disguise themselves as cows and chickens and even as Old MacDonald himself. The witch can’t figure out what has happened to the pigs and the “other animals” aren’t being helpful. Finally along comes a wolf and introduces himself to the witch saying that she’ll never find the pigs. He tells her he’s been after three little pigs for years but their just too clever. He invites her over to his place for dinner and she says that sounds like a good idea and they walk off each thinking of the other’s head on a sandwich.
