Long Version
Once upon a time, there were three little pigs who lived with their mother in a
meadow. One day their mother said, "You need to go out into the world and make
your own way." So they waved "goodbye" and went out into the world.
The little pigs decided to build their houses in a meadow near the woods. The
big bad wolf lived in the woods nearby. The meadow was big enough for all three
houses and none of the pigs was afraid of the big bad wolf!
The first little pig was very lazy. He decided to make his house out of straw
from the meadow. Sure enough, the big bad wolf trotted out to watch him build
the house. When the house was finished, the big bad wolf knocked on the door
and asked to come in. When the first little pig refused, the big bad wolf huffed
and puffed and blew the house down.
The second little pig thought to himself, "I will be smarter. I will build my
house out of twigs from the edge of the woods. That should be easy and safe." Butthe big bad wolf came by and said, "You should not build a house with twigs from
my woods. I will huff and puff and blow it down." Sure enough, as soon as the
house was finished, the wolf blew it down.
The first little pig and the second little pig ran to hide at the third little pig’s
house. This house was made of bricks! "Oh," they said, "you are the smartest of us
all. Let us in, let us in, and we promise to buy all the food for a week."
The wolf came by, knocked on the door, and asked to come in. "Not by the hair
on our chinny, chin, chins," said the pigs. So the wolf huffed and puffed and THE
HOUSE DID NOT FALL DOWN!
The big bad wolf said to himself, "This cannot be. I will climb onto the roof, go
down the chimney, and eat those pigs all up." He went down the chimney and
landed in a pot of boiling water. He ran away and never came back.
The third little pig invited the first little pig and the second little pig to stay
with him in his cozy brick house. The three little pigs visited their mother every
Sunday for dinner and they all lived happily ever after.
