Once upon a time, there were three little pigs. Percy, the youngest, loved to play. Penelope, the middle pig, loved to sing. Prudence, the oldest, loved to build.
One sunny morning, their mother said, "It's time you built your own houses!" Percy quickly made a house of straw. It was easy and fun! He went to play.
Penelope made a house of sticks. It was a bit harder, but faster than bricks. She finished quickly and went to sing in the forest.
Prudence knew a strong house took time. She worked hard all day, carefully laying bricks. By sunset, she had a cozy brick house.
That night, a hungry wolf came sniffing around. He saw Percy's straw house. "Let me in, little pig!" he growled. "Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!" squealed Percy. The wolf huffed and puffed and blew the straw house down!
Percy ran to Penelope's stick house. The wolf followed. "Let me in, little pigs!" he growled. "Not by the hair on our chinny chin chins!" squealed the pigs. The wolf huffed and puffed and blew the stick house down!
The two little pigs ran to Prudence's brick house. The wolf huffed and puffed, but he couldn't blow the house down! Prudence had built her house strong and safe. The three little pigs were safe inside.
The wolf tried to climb down the chimney, but Prudence had a pot of boiling water on the fire. Splash! The wolf yelped and ran away!
The three little pigs were so happy to be safe in Prudence's strong brick house. Percy and Penelope learned that hard work and planning are important. They helped Prudence build a big, strong porch where they could all play and sing together, safely. And so, the three little pigs lived happily ever after.
