A story to read together
The Three Little Pigs
Take your time. Let the story unfold.
Three little pigs set out to build homes of their own. They wanted safe places to rest and play. The first pig gathered straw, the second collected sticks, and the third saved time to build a strong brick house.
Three different houses
The first pig finished quickly and went to sing. The second pig built a little longer, then hurried off to play. The third pig laid each brick carefully and checked the walls.
A safer place
The first pig ran to the house of sticks. The wolf followed and blew until the sticks fell apart. Both pigs hurried to their brother’s brick house.
A new plan
The wolf searched for another way inside, but the pigs had closed the fireplace and asked a nearby farmer for help. The farmer called the village ranger.
Building together
The first two pigs learned how to build stronger homes. Their brother showed them how to make a good plan and take time to do careful work.
