In this story, the kind rabbit Uncle Wiggily Longears encounters Grunter, the first little pig from the famous nursery rhyme, who is building his straw house as the story dictates, fully expecting the wolf to blow it down. Uncle Wiggily helps build the house but cleverly prepares a snowbank behind it. When the wolf arrives and indeed destroys the straw house, Uncle Wiggily uses his quick thinking and digging skills to burrow a hiding place in the snowbank for himself and Grunter. This resourceful act saves the pig, deviating from the traditional tale, and showcases Uncle Wiggily's helpfulness and ingenuity in altering a known narrative for a safer outcome.
