The big bad wolf and the pigs

Three little pigs said goodbye to their mother and left home. They walked

for a long time and were very exhausted. The first little pig saw some yellow

straw so she made a house with straw. The second little pig found some brown

sticks so he made a house with sticks. The third little pig saw some red bricks

so she made a house with bricks.

That night a hungry wolf blew down the straw house and ate the first little

pig. ‘Yummy!’ he said.

Then the wolf went to the second little pig. He

blew down the stick house and ate the second little

pig. ‘Wonderful!’ he said.

Then the wolf knocked on the door of the third

little pig. The wolf huffed and puffed but he could not

blow down the brick house because it was too strong.

The wolf was very hungry so he sat down and

thought about what he could do. ‘Aha, I have an

idea!’ he said. He went and got some dynamite from

his wolf friend. He put the dynamite by the door of

the brick house.

‘Boom!’ He blew up the brick house and he ate

the third little pig. ‘Delicious!’ he said.

The wolf lived happily ever after!
