This little piggy rhyme
Social media post reveals the unsettling truth about the first little piggy – Chicago Tribune
It had been many years since I’d thought of the five little piggies, protagonists of the first nursery rhyme I told my kids, the first nursery rhyme I heard and probably the first nursery rhyme my parents heard.
My children are young adults now, but back before they could walk, my wife and I would take their little bare feet in our hands as they lay in their cribs, wiggle each toe in succession starting with the big toe and … say it with me:

“This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home, this little piggy had roast beef, this little piggy had none and this little piggy …” the pinkie toe, voice rising to falsetto, “… cried wee wee wee all the way home.”
Tickles. Giggles. Repeat.

It always struck me as a little weird that a pig would be eating roast beef. Is there no solidarity in the barnyard? But pigs are, in fact, omnivores. In 2012, according to news reports, they ate a 69-year-old farmer in Oregon after he fell in their pen.
Then the other day I was browsing my Twitter feed when I saw a posting from @AngelicGirlxD that changed everything: “I’m 22 years old,” she wrote Aug. 20, “and I just realized that ‘This little piggy went to … market’ doesn’t mean he went food shopping.”
Ye gods. Of course! All these years I’d had in my mind’s eye the image of a pig standing on two feet, a hat on its head and a basket under its “arm,” waddling off to the grocery store to purchase edibles: apples. Carrots. Grain. Farmer-flavored biscuits.
But no. Obviously, no. I’m 60 years old, and I just realized that the fattest little piggy — the big toe — was being sold into slaughter. It went to the market, sure, but it never came back.
Many of the best-loved nursery rhymes have dark elements. Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater “couldn’t keep” his wife so he “put her in a pumpkin shell, and there he kept her very well” in domestic servitude and bondage.
Georgie Porgie “kissed the girls and made them cry,” making him the central villain in numerous #MeToo stories.
“Goosey Goosey Gander” takes a grim turn and becomes fodder for a PBS documentary about elder abuse and religious violence when the narrator meets “an old man who wouldn’t say his prayers” and accordingly takes “him by the left leg” and throws him “down the stairs.”
And for potentially life-threatening injuries, you can’t beat the hapless infant’s plunge from the treetop at the end of “Rock-a-Bye Baby.”

In contrast, the piggies from the rhyme that dates back several hundred years, always seemed like a merry lot. Sure, one stayed home, and one, for some reason, did not eat roast beef. But the wee-wee-wee was a squeal of porcine delight at the prospect of returning to the sty, right?
Yet the fate of the biggest oinker was always there in plain sight. It didn’t go to market, it was taken to be marketed. It had no agency.
It was a product, not a customer.
Wee-wee-wee becomes the fearful yet ultimately fruitless cry of a creature that realizes it, too, was born to be sold and eaten.
This may be why some more sensitive souls have posted revisions that avoid the uncomfortable topic of butchery: “This little piggy ate blueberries/ This little piggy ate cheese ...” for example.
@AngelicGirlxD — her profile says she’s from Brooklyn — was not the first to post on this topic. I searched and found several piggy truther discussion threads over the years. But her tweet has gone viral and so far prompted more than 3,000 responses, many of them anguished:
“My whole childhood was a lie.” “I hate my newfound knowledge; ignorance was better.” “I don’t even know what’s real anymore.” “You've just made me very sad.” “He died?!?!! Noooooooooooo!” And so on.

I posted click polls to Facebook and Twitter to try to measure reaction to this observation. On both platforms, only 18 percent of some 200 respondents claimed to have known that the first pig in the rhyme was not, in sad fact, off to pick up a few things at the store but instead was off to meet its maker.
In comments, some have blamed illustrators of children's books for perpetuating the happier interpretation.
The results mean that, although 100 percent of you will find this topic trivial in light of all that is going on in the world, more than 80 percent of you will nevertheless find it relevant. As for me, when I have grandchildren, that first little piggy is going to go to Aldi.

What Is the Story Behind This Little Piggy?
(Last Updated On: September 13, 2022)
You may remember a nursery rhyme by the name of This Little Piggy from your childhood. Like many similar stories told to young children, this one also incorporated farm animals. This Little Piggy is originally an English nursery rhyme, but has been told in different languages around the world.
The beginning of what we know today as This Little Piggy was originally incorporated in a 1728 melody called “The Nurse’s Song.
” However, it was not until 1760 that the full version of This Little Piggy was published in “The Famous Tommy Thumb’s Little Story-Book”. Though the original author of the rhyme is unknown, it is usually attributed to fictional story-teller Mother Goose.
As is the case with any old nursery rhyme, there are bound to be alterations and different versions as time progresses. But this one has interestingly remained pretty much the same throughout its history, with typically only a word or two being changed.
The most common version of This Little Piggy goes like this:
Fingerplay and This Little PiggyThis little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none,
And this little piggy cried “wee, wee, wee” all the way home.
With the progression of time, one of the most popular activities to do when singing this nursery rhyme was incorporating each toe on a baby’s foot into the rhyme.
This is a great example of fingerplay (toeplay?). The most common actions associated with each line of the story is as follows.
- This little piggy went to market – Wiggle the child’s big toe.
- This little piggy stayed at home – Wiggle the child’s second toe.
- This little piggy had roast beef – Wiggle the child’s middle toe.
- This little piggy had none – Wiggle the child’s fourth toe.
- And this little piggy went “wee, wee, wee” all the way home – This is the part of the rhyme when you tickle the bottom of the child’s foot.
The early years of development for young babies are crucial to their understanding of coordination and dexterity. A very common way of increasing a child’s ability to memorize and form coherent story-telling skills is through the act of fingerplays. This is when actions are added to a rhyme or poem to help a child further learn the words. Fingerplays have been used to teach reading, colors, and counting.
The most common example is using the hand to count to ten.

An Unexpected Interpretation?One of the things parents tend to leave out when telling nursery rhymes to their children is the potentially dark and dreary backstories behind them. In the case of This Little Piggy, it isn’t too hard to spot the darker interpretation.
Think about a “piggy going to the market”. Some have interpreted this to mean that the pig is going to market for slaughter. Working off this then, the “little piggy staying home” refers to a pig not yet ready to eat, and that must stay home to mature. The “little piggy having roast beef” is about fattening a pig up, while the fourth “piggy that gets none” is too small to go to the market. And perhaps most dark, that final little piggy is not singing “wee, wee, wee”, but crying it in fright.
What an incredibly dark scene to play out on a child’s toes!
So, the question remains: is This Little Piggy an innocent rhyme to teach children about their extremities, or an ominous poem about pigs to slaughter? Considering some of the most famous nursery rhymes have a “darker interpretation”, the answer is most likely both.

Hello, dear reader of the children's Internet publication "Churiki" .
poems

Two pretty pigs
Two pretty pigs
We met by the river.
Scratched pigs' backs,
Scratched tongues.
They ate all the beets in the basket
And the pigs rushed home.
***
* * *
Is the pig guilty? He spilled the jelly, climbed into the soup with his hands.
What a disgusting thing, what does it all mean:
Pushed my sister, was very rude to her?!”
And mother says sternly for half a day:
“He put a piglet in his own business.
How the pig squealed for some reason again,
What an ill-bred son you are!”
And there is an ordinary pig in the yard,
Hearing the conversation, not at all happy:
“After all, that child has not been brought up,
Believe me, it's not my fault at all!"

Three pretty pigs
Couldn't buy boots,
Could not buy shirt-fronts,
Hats, slippers and pants.
I bought my favorite pigs
Both shirt-fronts and boots,
Well, the pigs are all squealing -
They don't want to take gifts.
They say to me: “Are pigs
Do they wear hats and boots?
And, of course, pants
Pigs don't need it!
As in pants and boots
Do decent pigs sleep in a puddle?!

Caring pig
Got a pig for her husband
One big dryer.
For the youngest son
I bought two rugs.
And for the son of Proshka
Got three cakes.
For sister Arinka -
Milk four cups.
And for older sons -
Five ruddy rolls.
Six pancakes for a little daughter
She brought it in a bag.
Seven Pancakes
For granny pigs.
Eight buns

Nine gingerbread for sister,
Ten cakes for yourself!

Pigs learned to fly
Pigs learned to fly.
What a joy for all the piglets!
And now constantly somewhere
Pigs fly and fly.
Tucking in the hooves,
Straightening pigtails,
They fly over the capital,
Grunting loudly to everyone from above.
I will open all windows and doors.
I will only see my own piglets,
I'll invite them for tea and I'm sure
That in the evening they will arrive.
Bathe in a puddle near the house,
Grunt again good friends
And they will rush along the path of the familiar
Straight into the sky to the gray clouds.
It's so good in the sky, I understand!
I would also fly with them ...
But they will return. Promise!
To a warm puddle in their native land!

Mr Bill Pig
Piglet, Mr. Bill,
He grew his belly in a year.
Like a balloon Bill's belly,
As if he ate five watermelons!
But Bill said with a grin:
- I swallowed my neighbor,
This harmful my neighbor
Stole my lunch this morning!
Mr. Bill is lying, of course -
He was fat from birth ...
I was told by the spinner on Wednesday,
That Bill doesn't have a roommate.

And lying in a basket,
Danced lezginka
Cheerful pig in the market.

Sat down to dinner in a beret,
But after eating my lunch,
filmed beret
And the unfortunate Kathy froze.

Piggy Agafyushka
Piggy Agafyushka walked through the forest,
Piggy found a basket near the oak tree.
There were a lot of acorns in the basket,
What a gift for cute kids!
Can't wait for Agafya family:
Glorious daughters and sons,
But Agafya wanted to eat
And I decided to sit on the stumps.
Juicy acorns are asking in the mouth,
And the pig's belly swells.
The pig has a very good appetite,
Her belly doesn't hurt.
Empty basket, no acorns,
What will she feed the children?
Ashamed, insulting Agafya to tears,
Strongly swollen patch - pig's nose.
So the pig sits on a stump,
Her daughters and sons are waiting...
Piggy lost her peace from tears,
What does she need to come home with now?
or:
(Tears flow from her eyes in a stream -
How to return to her house without a gift).

Poet pig!
Piglet became a poet
And he wrote poetry for three days,
I managed to eat a notebook at the same time,
The pencil is all bitten.
The poet is exhausted:
- There is no rhyme for the word "PIGY"!
Overslept the night, called awake
Rhymes for the word "Piglet"
Glory to the good poet
This rhyme has a mustache,
She is also easy
He drinks milk from a saucer.

Pink pig.
Tail - small hook
And a funny piglet.
The sun warms the pig's back -
Taking a bath piggy
Not simple - mud,
They are all pigs!
I will draw for a pig
And a bucket, and a trough.
Might be useful for the pig
White sheet?
I will draw a bed for her,
The pig will sleep sweetly in it.
Here is the soft duvet -
Will the pig be happy?
Well, what if it suddenly makes you feel
0017 The pig will be sad in the crib.Then I'm next to a perinka
I'll draw a PUDDLE for a pig!

A pair of blue kind eyes.

There is a puddle in the middle of the village,
There is a big Piggy in it.
And around her squeal
Ten wonder pigs.
Ten round snouts,
Ten ponytails upright,
Forty legs, twenty ears
Ten pink tops.
Then they climb into the beds,
Then they fight in the ditch,
Then they will undermine the entire fence,
Then they will smear the yard with mud.
And then they run to the trough
And they chew, they chew to their fill.
They don't look at each other,
They eat what they give.
When tired, they will snuggle up to their mother
And sleep peacefully for hours.

Animals bathed in a Russian bath. hedgehog0017 He can't do it himself.
Piggy was sitting nearby in a basin,
was steaming and singing.

Will he rub his back?
But the Pig answered:
- Chur, not me!

To prick her hooves...
A pig was riding at dawn
Andrey Usachev
A loud sound was heard early in the morning.
I looked out the window half asleep:
Pink, cheerful, neat
Piglet was driving a car.
Piglet was handsome:
He was wearing a checkered suit.
He turned his head contentedly,
Together with his head he turned the steering wheel.
White gloves on the hooves.
And the panama hat is embroidered with flowers:
He went to lie on the grass,
Or to visit his mother in the village... on a piglet:
- Oink-Oink!

Piglet on the porch
Went out in the early evening.
He sees - the fog on the river
In the shuttle floats sideways.
And behind the river, behind the fog
Barely visible, the oak stands.
And behind the oak, above the mound,
In the sky, an asterisk burns.
“Ah,” thought the piglet, “
How beautiful and warm,
And in the damp shadow it's dark
It's so light from the star.
Than an oak across the river,
That drowned in the fog,
Sees, sees us with a sheep,
The dog that crouched in the booth?
And visiting a frog
Ants side by side on a stump
They also see a piglet,
Are they happy with me too?

In the spring the piglets went for a walk.
I did not know my family happier.
"Oink-oink," the contented mother said,
And the children squealed: "Eee!"
But the most shrill of all the piglets
Said to them: "Oh, my brothers!
All grown-up pigs say oink-oink,
Enough squealing "e-e" to you!
Listen, brethren, as I speak.
Why am I worse than an adult pig?"
Poor thing! He thought he would say "oink-oink",
But he squealed plaintively: "Eee!"
And all because they didn't dare to squeal,
And they couldn't grunt!
My boy, I'm giving you this song. not shy: "Eee!"

Where are you hurrying to when you're awake?

Why is your voice ringing?

I sing songs like that!
- Piglet, piggy,
Why are you jumping like a little imp?
- I play hopscotch
With Stasik the frog!
- Piglet, piglet,
Watch out, the wolf cub is coming!
- I'm not afraid, if necessary,
I'll quickly hide in a black puddle.
Piglet, piglet
He became just like a Negro.
He squeals with joy,
He is in no hurry to wash!
