The Three Little Pigs

The Little Cottage

Once upon a time, in a cozy cottage at the edge of a green meadow, lived three little pigs with their mother. They played beneath the apple trees, helped in the garden, and dreamed about the day they would have homes of their own.

Mother'S Advice

At last, that day arrived. Mother Pig packed a basket of bread and apples and met her sons at the garden gate. 'Build your homes with care,' she told them. 'A strong house takes patience. And remember: look after one another.'

Off On An Adventure

The brothers waved goodbye and set off along a winding road. Their little bundles bounced as they walked. Butterflies danced over the wildflowers, birds sang in the trees, and faraway hills promised a world full of adventures.

Three Different Plans

At a crossroads, the pigs stopped to make their plans. 'I shall build with straw,' said the first pig. 'Sticks will do nicely for me,' said the second. 'I shall use bricks,' said the third. Then each brother followed his own path.

The House Of Straw

The first pig met a friendly farmer with a cart full of golden straw. 'May I have enough to build a house?' he asked. The farmer gladly shared a bundle, and the pig hurried away, already imagining a cozy place to call his own.

A Home In An Afternoon

The first pig worked quickly, tying bright straw around a simple wooden frame. Before the afternoon was over, he had made himself a little cottage. 'How easy that was!' he laughed. He put away his tools and settled in to rest.

The House Of Sticks

The second pig met a woodcutter by the forest. Neat piles of branches and small logs lay beside a wooden cart. 'Those would make a fine house,' thought the pig. With the woodcutter's help, he gathered as many sticks as he could carry.

A Little Wooden Cottage

The second pig hammered his sticks together and built a pretty wooden cottage. It had a little door and a window looking into the garden. He was pleased with his work, though he had not made the walls quite as sturdy as he might have.

The House Of Bricks

The third pig visited the brickyard. He filled his wheelbarrow with heavy red bricks, then carefully pushed it down the path. The load was hard to move, and he knew his house would take much longer to build. But he did not mind.

Brick By Brick

Day after day, the third pig worked. He laid each brick in mortar, checked that his walls were straight, and built a strong chimney above the roof. Sometimes his arms grew tired, but he remembered his mother's advice and kept going.

Three Homes In The Countryside

At last, three little homes stood among the gardens: one golden with straw, one made of timber, and one built of sturdy brick. The brothers met on the winding path and admired their work. They were proud to have made homes of their own.

A Wolf In The Woods

But deep in the woods lived a large, shaggy gray wolf. One morning he spotted the three cottages beyond the trees. He could see three happy little pigs near the gardens. The wolf licked his lips and grinned a most mischievous grin.

Little Pig, Little Pig!

The wolf marched to the house of straw and knocked on its wooden door. 'Little pig, little pig, let me come in!' he called. The first pig peered out and trembled. 'Not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin!' he answered.

Huff And Puff!

'Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down!' roared the wolf. He took a great breath and blew with all his might. Straw whirled high into the air. The little cottage tumbled apart, and the frightened pig ran for his life.

Running To His Brother

Down the path the first pig raced, straight to the wooden house. 'Brother, let me in!' he cried. The second pig swung open the door and pulled him inside. Together they hurried to the window, hoping the wolf would not find them.

The Wolf Returns

Before long, the wolf came stalking toward the wooden cottage. The two pigs peered out of the window. 'Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in!' called the wolf. 'Not by the hair on our chinny-chin-chins!' they replied.

The Wooden House Falls

The wolf filled his lungs and blew harder than before. Sticks rattled, the roof shook, and the little wooden house came crashing down. The brothers escaped through the back and ran as fast as their hooves could carry them.

A Race To Safety

Across the meadow and through the trees the two pigs ran. Behind them, the gray wolf gave chase. Ahead, they could see their brother's solid brick house. 'Almost there!' they shouted, racing toward the garden gate and the heavy wooden door.

Safe Inside

The third pig welcomed his brothers inside at once. He shut the stout wooden door and slid the bolt into place. 'You are safe here,' he told them. 'This house was built to last.' The three pigs stood together and listened.

Huffing And Puffing Again

Outside, the wolf huffed and puffed until his cheeks were round. Leaves spun across the garden and flowers bent in the wind. But the brick walls did not wobble. Not a single brick moved, no matter how hard the wolf blew.

The Wolf Has An Idea

The wolf sat down to catch his breath. Then he looked up and noticed the tall chimney. A sly smile spread across his face. 'If I cannot blow the house down,' he whispered, 'perhaps I can climb inside!'

Up On The Rooftop

Quietly, the wolf scrambled onto the roof and crept toward the chimney. Inside, the three pigs heard scratching above their heads. The third pig thought for a moment. Then he whispered a plan, and his brothers nodded.

A Very Hot Surprise

The pigs placed a pot of bubbling water over the fire. As the wolf began to climb down, a cloud of hot steam rushed up the chimney. 'YOW!' he yelped. Startled, he scrambled back to the roof and fled into the forest.

Home Sweet Home

The wolf never bothered the brothers again. Under the flowering trees, the three little pigs spread a picnic blanket and shared a wonderful meal. They laughed together, grateful for their safe home and for one another. And they lived happily ever after.
