The Three Little PigsLevel I / Fiction
Once upon a time, there lived three little pigs. One day the pigs left home. It was time for them to build homes of their own. The first little pig built a straw house. When he was done, he sat down to eat lunch. He happily slurped and chewed until . . . Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. It was a wolf! “ Little pig, little pig, let me come in,” said the wolf. “ Not by the hair of my chinny, chin, chin!” said the little pig. “ Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in,” growled the wolf. The wolf huffed and puffed and puffed and huffed and blew the house in. Whoosh! The house became a haystack. The little pig ran to his brother’s house. The second little pig built his house out of sticks. “ The first little pig told his brother about the wolf. “ Sticks are stronger than straw,” said the second little pig, unafraid. That’s when they heard a knock on the door. “ Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in,” said the wolf. “ Not by the hairs of our chinny, chin, chins!” answered the little pigs. “ Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in,” growled the wolf. The wolf huffed and puffed and puffed and huffed and blew the house in. The little pigs ran all the way to their brother’s house. The third little pig built a brick house. “ He was baking pies when his brothers burst in, crying about the wolf. “ Let’s see the wolf blow down this house,” said the third little pig. Knock. Knock. Knock. The three little pigs looked at the door. “ Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in,” yelled the wolf. “ Not by the hairs of our chinny, chin, chins!” shouted the little pigs. “ Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in,” growled the wolf. The wolf huffed and puffed and puffed and huffed and… fell over. The wolf lay on the ground, out of breath. The three little pigs lived happily ever after, baking pies in the strong brick house.
