The Three Little Pigs
A gentle fairy-tale about three little pigs who each build a house. A clever pig shows the value of patience and hard work when a big bad wolf comes to blow the houses down. Suitable for ages 3–6, with a warm, reassuring ending.
Once upon a time there were three little pigs. They decided to build their own houses.
The first pig built a house of straw. He sang as he worked.
The second pig built a house of sticks. He worked quickly and smiled.
The third pig built a strong house of bricks. He took his time and worked carefully.
One day a big bad wolf came along. He wanted to blow the houses down.
The wolf huffed and puffed at the straw house. The straw house fell down.
The frightened first pig ran to the stick house. They closed the door and held their breath.
The wolf huffed and puffed at the stick house. The stick house tumbled down.
Both pigs hurried to the brick house. The third pig welcomed them in.
The wolf blew with all his might at the brick house. It did not move.
The wolf tried to climb onto the roof and go down the chimney. The clever pigs had a warm pot of soup waiting.
The wolf ran away, never to bother them again. The three little pigs danced and hugged.
From then on they built, helped, and stayed safe together. They lived happily ever after.
