Three pigs build three houses, and a hungry wolf comes huffing and puffing. Read it aloud or let your child read it, then talk about the lesson and try the quiz.
Once upon a time, three little pigs left home to build houses of their own.
The first little pig was in a hurry to play. He built his house out of straw in just one morning. The second little pig built his house out of sticks in one afternoon. But the third little pig worked for many days, laying brick after brick until he had a strong brick house.
Soon a hungry wolf came along. He knocked on the straw house. "Little pig, little pig, let me come in!" "Not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin!" said the first pig. "Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in!" And he did. The first pig ran to his brother's stick house.
The wolf followed and knocked again. "Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in!" "Not by the hair on our chinny-chin-chins!" So the wolf huffed and puffed and blew the stick house down. The two pigs ran to their brother's brick house.
"Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in!" "Not by the hair on our chinny-chin-chins!" The wolf huffed and he puffed. He puffed and he huffed. But the brick house did not move.
The angry wolf climbed onto the roof to come down the chimney. But the third little pig had a big pot of hot water bubbling in the fireplace. When the wolf slid down and landed in it, he yelped, shot back up the chimney and ran away, never to return.
The three little pigs lived happily together in the strong brick house.
