The Three Little Pigs
Once upon a time there were three little pigs. The time came for them to
leave home and seek their fortune.
The first pig built his house of straw, because it was the easiest thing to do.
The second pig built his house out of sticks. This was a little stronger than the straw
house. The third little pig built his house out of bricks.
One night the big bad wolf came to the house of sticks. The little pig did
not let the wolf in. The wolf blew the straw house and it flew away in pieces. Then,
the pig ran and ran away from the wolf.
1
The wolf then came to the house of sticks. The second pig did not also let
the wolf in, so the wolf blew his house too and the house of sticks crumbled down.
The pig came out screaming, running for his life.
The wolf came to the house of bricks, the third pig did not let the wolf in, so
the wolf puffed but he could not blow down the brick house.
But the wolf climbed up on the roof to look for a way into the brick house.
The little pig saw the wolf climb up on the roof and lit a roaring fire in the fireplace
and placed on it a large kettle of water. When the wolf finally found the hole in
the chimney he crawled down and fell right into the kettle of boiling water. That
was the end of pig’s trouble with the big bad wolf.
