"The Three Little Pigs":
Once upon a time, there were three little pigs who decided to leave their home and build their
own houses. The first little pig was lazy and decided to build his house out of straw because it
was quick and easy. The second little pig was a bit more industrious and decided to build his
house out of sticks because it was stronger than straw. The third little pig was very hardworking
and decided to build his house out of bricks because it was the strongest material.
One day, the big bad wolf came to the straw house and asked the little pig to let him in. But the
little pig refused, so the wolf huffed and puffed and blew the straw house down. The little pig ran
to the stick house.
The wolf then went to the stick house and asked the little pig to let him in. But the little pig
refused again, so the wolf huffed and puffed and blew the stick house down. The two little pigs
ran to the brick house.
Finally, the wolf came to the brick house and asked the little pigs to let him in. But the little pigs
were safe in the strong brick house, and the wolf couldn't blow it down. So, he tried to climb
down the chimney, but the clever little pigs had a pot of boiling water ready and poured it on the
wolf when he came down.
The wolf howled and ran away, never to be seen again. The three little pigs were safe and lived
happily ever after in their strong brick house.
The moral of the story is that hard work and perseverance pay off, and it's important to be
prepared for any danger that may come your way.
