The Three Little Pigs

Once upon a time there were three little pigs that lived with their mother and father in a tiny house in the wood. The little pigs were growing very big and the mother and father thought it was about time the pigs went off into the wood and built their own house. Now the mum and dad loved their little piglets dearly and wanted to help them in building a house. They sent the first little pig away and gave him some straw, some clear plastic bags and some fabric. Before the first little pig left, his parents said “Now be careful of that big bad wolf, be sure to build a strong house that will protect you if the wolf comes knocking.” So off the first little piggy went off into the woods with all of his belongings tied to his back and all the materials his parents had given him. Before long he came to a nice spot beside the river where he decided to built his house. He started by building the walls of his house with straw, he then used the fabric to make the roof of his house, and used the plastic his parents had given him for the windows.

Now the pig lived quite happily in the house for a few days. Before long the weather turned stormy and heavy raindrops started to fall from the sky. What do you think happened to the roof of the pig’s house if it was made from fabric? The roof started to leak and water was coming through very quickly. The little pig began to panic and went outside his house to see if he could repair the damage. Just then the big bad wolf was strolling past and noticed the little piggy looking distressed outside his house. The little pig saw the wolf and quickly ran back inside his house. The wolf called out to the little pig “Little pig, little pig, let me come in” The piggy replied “Not by the hairs of my chinny chin chin” “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in” The wolf huffed and he puffed and he blew the piggy’s straw house over. Little piggy quickly ran off into the woods to hide. Now the second little piggy was just saying goodbye to his parents and on his back were all of his belongings and the materials his parents had given him which were; some sticks, some metal and some fabric. The little pig found a lovely spot to build his house under some nice shady trees. He set to work, first he made his walls with the sticks, then he made his roof with the metal and finished his house by making the windows with the fabric. Again it started to rain, but the pig had been very clever and had used the metal for his roof, therefore because the metal is waterproof all the water just ran off it onto the floor. Before long there was a knock at the door, the little piggy was a bit scared to open the door because before he had left his parents had warned him about the big bad wolf. The little pig had used to fabric to make the windows and couldn’t look out to see who was at the door, so he called out “who is there?” “It’s me!” replied his brother piggy who had escaped from the wolf “can I come inside and hide from the wolf?” The little piggy opened the door to let his brother inside. But just as he was closing the door he spotted the wolf coming towards the house. The little piggy’s went inside to hide. The wolf called out to them “Little pigs, little pig let me come in” The pigs replied “Not by the hairs of our chinny, chin chins”

“Ok” said the wolf “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in” So the wolf huffed and he puffed and he did indeed blow the house in. The little piggy’s quickly ran off into the woods to hide from the wolf.

Now the third little piggy was just saying goodbye to his parents. Tied to his back were all of his belongings and the materials his parents had given him. There were some bricks, some glass, and some wood and they also gave him some clay tiles. The piggy soon found the perfect spot to build his house, under a nice shady tree and close to the river. He started to build his house.

The little piggy choose the bricks to build his walls from, as he thought these would be nice and strong and wouldn’t blow over if the wolf came looking. What material do you think the piggy should choose to make his windows from? The piggy choose the glass to make his windows from, as he thought this material would be strong and he would be able to see through them if the wolf came looking.
 * What material do you think he should choose to make his walls from? **


 * What material do you think the piggy should make his front door from? **

The little pig choose the wood to make his front door from as he thought this material was strong and the wolf wouldn’t be able to blow it down. What was the last material the piggy was given that he could use to make his roof from? The piggy choose the clay tiles to make his roof from as he thought if it rained then the water would run off them. Before long there was a loud knock at the door. The piggy was scared that it might be the wolf so he looked out of the window to see who it was. Outside looking very frightened were his two little brothers and just behind them coming up in the woods was the big bad wolf.

The little pig quickly went to the front door and let in the little pigs and slammed it shut, just in time before the wolf came in.

“Little pig, little pigs, let me come in!” the wolf called out

No, no not by the hairs of our chinny chin chins” cried the little pigs “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in” said the wolf. He huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed but he couldn’t blow the house down.

Now the third little pig who was very clever and had built the brick house had an idea. He whispered it to his brothers who agreed what to do. They went to the front door and opened it very quickly; the wolf was still trying to catch his breath from blowing at the house. The little pigs together all huffed and they puffed and they blew so hard the wolf toppled backwards and fell into the river, splash!! The wolf didn’t like water, as he couldn’t swim very well, he quickly scrabbled to the edge of the riverbank and ran off into the woods. From that day on the wolf never bothered the little pigs again, and they all lived happily ever after.
