The Three Little Pigs

Once upon a time, there were three little pigs.

They lived with their mother.

One day, Mother Pig said,

"You are all grown up now.

It's time to build your own houses."

The three little pigs were excited!

They gave their mother a big hug.

"We will make you proud!" they said.

Then they set off into the world.

Each pig waved goodbye.

The first little pig was lazy.

He didn't want to work hard.

"I'll build my house quickly," he said.

He found a farmer with straw.

"May I have some straw?" he asked.

The farmer gave him lots of straw.

The first pig built his house fast.

It took him only one hour!

The house was made all of straw.

"Perfect!" said the lazy pig.

"Now I can play all day!"

The second little pig was lazy too.

He wanted to finish quickly.

"I'll build with sticks," he said.

He gathered sticks from the forest.

He worked for half a day.

Soon his house was ready.

It was made all of sticks.

"Good enough!" said the second pig.

"Now I can rest and play!"

He didn't want to work anymore.

The third little pig was smart.

He wanted a strong house.

"I'll build with bricks," he said.

He bought bricks from the store.

"This will take time," he said.

The third pig worked very hard.

He worked for many days.

He laid each brick carefully.

His brothers laughed at him.

"You work too much!" they said.

But he kept working anyway.

Finally, the brick house was done!

It was strong and beautiful.

The third pig was proud.

"Now I am safe," he said.

The house had a strong door.

It even had a big chimney!

One day, a big bad wolf came.

He was hungry and mean.

He saw the straw house first.

The first little pig was inside.

He was eating his lunch.

The wolf knocked on the door.

"Little pig, little pig!" he called.

"Let me come in!"

The first pig looked outside.

He saw the big bad wolf!

"No, no!" cried the pig.

"Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!"

The wolf was very angry.

"Then I'll huff and I'll puff," he said.

"And I'll blow your house down!"

He took a deep breath.

He huffed and he puffed!

WHOOOOSH!

The straw house fell down!

The first little pig ran fast.

He ran to the stick house.

"Help me, brother!" he cried.

The second pig let him in.

Now two little pigs were scared.

They hid in the stick house.

But the wolf followed them there.

He knocked on the door again.

"Little pigs, little pigs!" he called.

"Let me come in!"

"No, no!" they both cried.

"Not by the hair on our chinny chin chins!"

The wolf grinned an evil grin.

"Then I'll huff and I'll puff!"

The wolf huffed bigger than before.

He puffed harder than before.

WHOOOOOOSH!

Down came the stick house too!

Both pigs ran as fast as they could.

They ran to the brick house.

"Help us, brother!" they cried.

The third pig opened the door.

His brothers ran inside quickly.

The third pig locked the door tight.

"You're safe now," he said kindly.

"My house is very strong."

All three pigs looked out the window.

Here came the big bad wolf!

He looked very, very angry.

Smoke came from his nose.

The pigs were scared.

But they were safe inside.

The wolf knocked hard on the door.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

"Little pigs, little pigs!" he roared.

"Let me come in!"

All three pigs shouted together:

"No, no! Not by the hair on our chinny chin chins!"

The wolf was furious now.

"Then I'll huff and I'll puff!" he yelled.

"And I'll blow your house down!"

He took the biggest breath ever.

He huffed and puffed and PUFFED!

But the brick house stood strong.

It didn't move at all!

The wolf tried again and again.

He huffed until he was tired.

But the house stayed standing.

The wolf was tired of huffing.

He needed a new plan.

He looked up at the roof.

"Aha!" he said with a smile.

"I see a big chimney!"

"I'll climb down the chimney!" he said.

"Then I'll catch those pigs!"

He climbed onto the roof.

The three pigs heard footsteps.

"He's on the roof!" they cried.

The third pig thought quickly.

"I have an idea!" he said.

"Quick! Help me with this pot!"

They hung a big pot in the fireplace.

They filled it with water.

Then they started a fire underneath.

The water started to boil.

Bubble, bubble, bubble!

Steam rose from the pot.

The wolf climbed into the chimney.

"Here I come, little pigs!" he laughed.

Down, down, down he slid.

SPLASH!

He fell right into the boiling water!

"YEEEEOWWW!" screamed the wolf.

He jumped out super fast.

His bottom was very hot!

The wolf ran up the chimney.

He jumped off the roof.

He ran into the forest.

He ran as fast as he could!

He never came back again.

The three little pigs were safe!

The three little pigs jumped for joy!

They danced around the room.

"We're safe!" they sang.

"The wolf is gone forever!"

They hugged each other tight.

The first pig felt sorry.

"I was too lazy," he said.

"I should have worked harder."

The second pig agreed.

"Me too," he said sadly.

"Our houses were not strong."

The third pig smiled at them.

"You can live here with me!" he said.

"But we must build you strong houses too."

The two pigs were so happy!

"We will work very hard!" they promised.

"Just like you did!"

From that day on, all three pigs worked together.

They built two more brick houses.

This time, everyone worked hard.

The houses were strong and beautiful.

The three little pigs lived happily.

And the big bad wolf never bothered them again!
