Once upon a time, there were three little pigs. They were brothers. Although they were born to the same mother, their personalities were very different. The eldest pig was a lazy one. The second pig was a bit clever but also very playful. The third pig was a hard - working and intelligent pig.
One day, the three little pigs decided to leave home and go out into the world to seek their own happiness. They walked and walked and came to a wide meadow.
The eldest pig said, "I don't want to be too tired. I will build my house with straw. It's so easy." So, the eldest pig quickly built a simple house with straw.
The second pig looked at the eldest pig's house and said with a smile, "Your house is quick to build, but not very strong. I will build my house with wood. It will be stronger than yours." The second pig found a lot of wood and worked busily for a while, and built a wooden house.
As for the third pig, he thought seriously for a long time and then said, "I will build a brick house. Although it will be very hard work, it must be very safe." The third pig laid the bricks one by one. No matter how tired he was, he didn't give up. After a long time of hard work, the third pig finally built a strong brick house.
Just after the three little pigs had all built their houses, a big wolf appeared. When the big wolf saw the eldest pig's straw house, he was very happy. He blew hard, and the straw house was blown down. The eldest pig was so frightened that he quickly ran into the second pig's wooden house.
The big wolf came to the wooden house and pushed hard. The wooden house also shook and was about to fall. The eldest pig and the second pig ran in panic to the third pig's brick house.
The big wolf came to the brick house and blew and pushed, but the brick house didn't move at all. He wanted to climb in through the chimney. As a result, the clever third pig had already prepared a pot of hot water. As soon as the big wolf came in, he poured the hot water on the big wolf. The big wolf howled in pain and ran away with his tail between his legs.
Since then, the eldest pig and the second pig both understood the importance of hard work and wisdom. They also learned from the third pig and became more hard - working and intelligent. The three little pigs lived happily in the brick house.
