In the first of the two stories in this download, Jolie Blonde decides to
rôder (travel) along the bayou. Before long, this Cajun Goldilocks begins to get tired. When she reaches the Héberts’ home, delicious aromas welcome her into the empty house, where she finds three bowls of Mama Hébert’s gumbo. Listeners will learn which bowl tastes
bon to Jolie Blonde as they meet the three Héberts,
POOH-YI! (Oh, my!)
The three little Cajun pigs—’Ti Joe, ’Ti Claude, and ’Ti Frère—build houses out of oyster shells, rice, and sugarcane in hopes that the local loup-garou (wolf) will not get inside and eat them for his cochon du lait (pig roast). How will these three brothers make out? As ’Ti Joe always says, “Vouloir c’est pouvoir” (Where there’s a will, there’s a way).
