A week after a truck carrying 2,200 piglets[ overturned](http://time.com/3914032/piglets-truck-ohio-highway/ "undefined") on an Ohio highway, the [_Dayton Daily News_](http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/news/homes-for-us-35-piglets-straw-sticks-and-bricks/nmdDL/ "undefined")reports that an anonymous prankster has set up three houses made out of hay, bricks, and sticks — straight out of the children’s story about the “Three Little Pigs” — as a refuge for any piglets still loose after the crash that killed about half of the animals on board, according to authorities. The [Greene County Sheriff’s Office](https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story%5Ffbid=1105625742786644&id=127734843909077 "undefined") has also said that the people in the vehicle only suffered minor injuries.

The [Associated Press joked](http://news.yahoo.com/3-little-pig-houses-left-ohio-road-where-111312526.html "undefined") that, as of late afternoon Monday, “no big bad wolves had huffed and puffed enough to blow down any houses.”
