Breaking fairy tale news has officially taken the phrase “when pigs fly” off the list of impossible things. The Three Little Pigs were spotted flying above the countryside late yesterday, carried not by wings, balloons, or questionable wizardry, but by their own hair.

Three Mice Mistakenly Declared Enchantedville’s Most Wanted on Bibbity Bobbity Beach
Enchantedville Issues Correction: “Most Wanted” Mice Were Actually Picnicking and Polite
Enchantedville authorities were briefly on high alert this morning after reports claimed the infamous Three Blind Mice had been spotted lounging on Bibbity Bobbity Beach.
The mouse trio was wanted for breaking and entering, cheese snatching, and a long list of unspecified offenses. News of the sighting spread quickly, with one stunned onlooker declaring, “We thought the butcher’s wife finally got to you.”
Reporters attempted to contact the butcher’s wife for comment but she refused to give any official statement. However, there were reports from the neighbors of a shrill scream.
After a full investigation, officials confirmed that suspects were not the legendary Three Blind Mice at all, but simply three very relaxed mice wearing sunglasses to protect their fully functional eyes from the sunshine.
“We were just trying to get some rest and relaxation,” one mouse explained, “when suddenly we were swarmed by people in respirators and gloves. We were treated like wanted criminal mice.”
The situation escalated quickly. Pest authorities approached from one side while fairytale fans rushed in from the other. One mouse described hearing the squeak of yellow rubber boots as pest control closed in. That is the statement that revealed that the mice had been mis-identified. A blind mouse cannot identify the color yellow.
The mice became very confused when finding themselves surrounded by both fans and foes. Some asked for paw-graphs, while others made rude remarks such as “as blind as a bat” and “where’s your cane?”
“We aren’t even bats,” one mouse squeaked. “How can they be so blind.”
Another mouse pitched in, “I do not use a cane. I only eat candy canes at Christmas time.”
Authorities have since issued a formal apology for what they described as rat-iculous behavior. Mouseville has been placed on high alert, and residents are now advised to wear sunglasses with caution.
The butcher’s wife is reportedly taking a mandatory break from kitchen duties.
