"The three little pigs"

Once upon a time there was a mother pig with

three little pigs. They were living a happy life and

all they ever did was play and sleep.

The three little pigs started growing so big that the

mother said to them “you are getting too big for

our house and must move out on your own. You

must build houses that will keep you safe because

the wolf is out in the woods and you must be very

careful that the wolf does not catch you."

So the three little pigs packed their little knap

sacks and headed up the lane to see if they could

make a house to live in.

While they were traveling they met a man with a

bundle of straw.

 The first little pig thought "hmmm, I bet this straw

would make a nice safe house for us". Mister, said

the first little pig, "will you give us some straw to

build us a house to be safe in?"

"Of course" said the man with the straw, "I will

give you what you need to make a nice safe house."

So the three little pigs took the straw and made a

nice house with their straw.And what a pretty straw house this was too. Two

of the little pigs left to go for a walk and while they

were gone the wolf decided to come for a visit

The wolf being brave went right up to the door and

said "little pig, little pig, please let me in" and the

little pig answered him "not by the hair of my

chiney chin chin.

"Well then" said the wolf, "If you won't let me in I

will have to huff and puff and blow your house in!"

And the wolf started doing just that!

He started huffing and puffing and blowing real

hard. This scared the little pig so much that the

little pig got to the back door and started running

through the fields. The wolf was so busy the he did

not notice the little pig running away.

After a lot of huffing and puffing and blowing the

wolf blew the house down but he did not find a

little pig in the house. The little pig was quicker

than he was!

The first little pig found his brothers and told them

what had happened and the second little pig said

"we just need to build a better house."

While they were walking down the lane they ran

into a man carrying sticks. "Those sticks would

make a safe strong house" said the second little pig.

"Mister" the pig said "can we have some of your

sticks so that we can build a strong house? We had

a house of straw but the wolf came and blew it

down!"

The man looked at the little pigs and told them

they can use all the sticks they need to build their

house.

The little pigs worked real hard to make their stick

house and finally they were done. "What a

beautiful stick house this is." said the second little

pig. The other two little pigs agreed with him and

said "yes, this is a nice little house but now we must

go get food. We are getting hungry."

The other two little pigs left to go find food leaving

the second little pig all by himself. It wasn't long

after they left that the wolf found the stick house.

"Little Pig, Little Pig" said the wolf "please let me

in." The second little pig answered "not by the hair

of my chiney chin chin"

"Very well" said the wolf; I will just have to huff

and puff and blow your house in! And the wolf

started huffing and puffing and huffing and

puffing some more.

While the wolf was huffing and puffing the little

pig got scared but he remembered his little brother

pig ran away from the wolf. So the little pig went tothe back window and crawled out and ran to the

lake behind the house.

Just as he got to the lake the wolf blew the house in

but the little pig was too fast and got away. The

little pig made it too the lake and swam away.The second little pig found his brothers and they

thought about their problem for a while. The third

little pig said "we must build a super strong house,

just like momma has. And then the wolf will leave

us alone"

As they were walking down the lane they met a

man carrying bricks. "Wow" said the third pig, I

know those bricks would make a real strong house

just like mommas.”

So the third little pig asked the man, "Mister, will

you give us some bricks to build a house with? We

have built houses with straw and with sticks and

the mean old wolf blew them away!"The three little pigs had a real nice home. They

played outside and had fun all day. Then at night

they came in. They stayed safe and warm in their

brick house.

They were so happy! The three little pigs knew that

it would not be long before the wolf would find

them, so they discussed what they would do. After

they talked for a while they went to bed.

The next day the three little pigs saw the wolf

coming up the road. They ran inside of the house of

bricks and they knew they were safe.

The wolf started knocking on the door and said

“little pig, little pig please let me in” and the third

little pig answered him “Not by the hair of my

chiny chin chin!” So the wolf said "Then I'll huff,

and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in."

So he huffed, and he puffed, and he puffed and he

huffed some more, but the house of bricks would

not come down!

The wolf got very very mad, but he pretended that

he was not mad at all. The wolf decided that the

only way to get the three little pigs was to pretend

to be friends with them. "If I act like I am

friendly" he thought "then those pigs will trust me

and let me come in and then I will get them!"

So the Wolf called out to him “Little pig, if you will

be ready at six o’clock in the morning, I will take

you to the farmers’ field and we can get some nice   

turnips there.”Where are the turnips?" said the

little pig. "Oh, in Mr. Smith's field, and if you will

be ready to-morrow morning we will go together,

and get some turnips for dinner." replied the wolf.

"Very well," said the little pig. "What time do you

want to go?" The wolf told him "6 o'clock would

be good."

"So the little pig got up at five, went to the turnip

fields and got the turnips before the wolf came

crying:--"Little pig, are you ready?"

The little pig said: "Ready! I have been

to the turnip fields, got some turnips,

and have a nice pot full cooking for

dinner." I was ready and you were not

here yet so I went on without you.The wolf felt very angry at this, but thought that he

was smarter than the little pig. He was not going to

let another pig outsmart him, so he said:--"Little

pig, I know where there is a nice apple-tree.”

"Where?" said the pig. "Down at Merry-garden,"

replied the wolf, "and if you will not deceive me I

will come for you, at five o'clock to-morrow, and

get some apples." The little pig got up next

morning at four o'clock, and went off for the

apples, hoping to get back before the wolf came;

but it took too long to climb the tree, and just as he

was coming down from it, he saw the wolf coming.

When the wolf came up he said:--

"Little pig, why are you here before me? I told you

I would come for you. Are they nice apples?" "Yes,

very," said the little pig. "I will throw you one

down."And he threw it so far that, while the wolf was gone

to pick it up, the little pig jumped down and ran

home. His brothers were waiting for him to return

with the apples. "Hurry, hurry," said the third

little pig "lock all the windows and doors because

the wolf is coming!"

The wolf was very angry at the pig:--The little pig

was scared but he stayed real quiet.

The three little pigs filled a pot with water and put

it over the fire in his fire place. This made the

water very hot. The wolf knew that the little pigs

were scared and that delighted him.

The wolf said to the little pigs, “little pigs, I am

going to come down your chimney to get you and

eat you up!

So down the chimney the wolf went. The little pigs

said nothing to the wolf and when then wolf got

down the chimney,

He went splash right into the pot of boiling hot

water! The wolf decided the pigs were too smart

for him and agreed to leave the three little pigs

alone. The wolf stayed around the three little pigs

home to make sure nothing ever came to harm

them. The three little pigs and the wolf learned how

to be friends and live happily ever after.
