The Three Little Pigs

Once upon a time, there resided an elderly mother pig who had three small piglets and an insufficient amount of food to nourish them. Consequently, when the piglets reached an appropriate age, she dispatched them into the world to seek their fortunes.

The initial piglet displayed an immense laziness. He possessed no desire to engage in any form of labor and constructed his dwelling using straw. The second piglet exerted a slightly greater effort, yet still harbored a degree of laziness, resulting in the construction of his house using sticks. Subsequently, they indulged in singing, dancing, and playing together for the remainder of the day.

In contrast, the third piglet diligently toiled throughout the day, constructing his abode with sturdy bricks. This house boasted a robust structure, complete with a splendid fireplace and chimney. Its appearance suggested that it could withstand even the most forceful winds.

The following day, a wolf coincidentally passed by the lane where the three little pigs resided. Upon spotting the straw house and detecting the scent of the pig within, the wolf's appetite was aroused, causing his mouth to water.

Consequently, he proceeded to knock on the door and uttered:

"Little pig! Little pig!

Let me in! Let me in!"

However, the astute little pig caught sight of the wolf's sizable paws through the keyhole, prompting him to retort:

"No! No! No!

Not by the hairs on my chinny chin chin."

Then, the wolf bared his sharp teeth and declared:

"I shall huff, I shall puff, and I shall blow your house down!"

With great force, he huffed and he puffed, ultimately blowing the house down! The wolf then widened his jaws and bit down with all his might, but the first little pig managed to escape and scurried away to hide with the second little pig.

Continuing down the lane, the wolf came across the second house made of sticks. He noticed the house, caught a whiff of the pigs inside, and his mouth began to water at the thought of the delicious dinner they would make.

He knocked on the door and called out:

"Little pigs! Little pigs!

Let me in! Let me in!"

However, the little pigs spotted the wolf's pointy ears through the keyhole and defiantly replied:

"No! No! No!

Not by the hairs on our chinny chin chin!"

In response, the wolf revealed his menacing teeth and proclaimed:

"Then I'll huff, I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down!"

Once again, he huffed and he puffed, successfully blowing the house down! The wolf, driven by his greed, attempted to catch both pigs at once, but his insatiable greed caused him to miss both of them. His large jaws clamped down on nothing but air, and the two little pigs hurriedly escaped as fast as their hooves could carry them.

The wolf pursued them down the lane, nearly catching up to them. However, they managed to reach the brick house and swiftly shut the door before the wolf could seize them. The three little pigs were filled with fear, fully aware that the wolf desired to devour them. And indeed, this was very true. The wolf, having not eaten all day, had developed a ravenous appetite from chasing the pigs around. He could now smell all three of them inside the brick house, and he knew that they would make a delightful feast.

The wolf approached the door and exclaimed:

"Little pigs! Little pigs!

Allow me entry! Allow me entry!"

However, the little pigs caught sight of the wolf's narrow eyes peering through the keyhole, prompting them to respond:

"No! No! No!

Not by the hairs on our chinny chin chin!"

In response, the wolf bared his teeth and declared:

"Then I shall huff

and I shall puff

and I shall blow your house down."

With determination, he huffed and he puffed. He puffed and he huffed. He huffed, huffed, and he puffed, puffed. Yet, despite his efforts, he failed to blow the house down. Eventually, he became so exhausted that he could no longer huff or puff. Thus, he paused to catch his breath and pondered for a moment.

However, this turn of events proved to be too much for the wolf. Filled with fury, he vowed to descend through the chimney and devour the little pig for his supper. Unbeknownst to him, while he was climbing onto the roof, the clever little pig ignited a blazing fire and placed a large pot of water to boil. Just as the wolf was descending the chimney, the little pig removed the lid, and with a splash, the wolf fell into the scalding water.

Quickly, the little pig replaced the lid, boiled the wolf, and the three little pigs enjoyed him as their supper.
