Chapter 1: The Three Little Pigs Leave Home.

Once upon a time, there were three little pigs who lived with their mother. One day, their mother said to them, “You are old enough now, and you must go out into the world to build your own homes.”
The first little pig said goodbye to his mother, and he went off on his way. He soon found a field of straw, and he decided to |build his house out of straw|. It was quick and easy, and before long, his house was finished.
The second little pig also said goodbye to his mother and went on his way. He found a lot of sticks, and he decided to |build his house out of sticks|. It took him a little longer than the first pig, but soon his house was ready.
The third little pig said goodbye to his mother and went off on his way. He found a place where he could gather bricks, and he decided to |build his house out of bricks|. It was hard work, and it took him much longer than the other two pigs, but when he finished, he had a strong, sturdy house.
So, the three little pigs went to their new homes. But little did they know, |a Big Bad Wolf was lurking| nearby, ready to make trouble.

Chapter 2: The Wolf Comes to the Straw House.

One day, the Big Bad Wolf came to the straw house of the first little pig. He knocked on the door and said, “Little pig, little pig, let me in!”
But the little pig answered, “Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!”
Then the wolf said, “Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down!” And he did. |He huffed and puffed hard|, and the straw house fell down in a heap. The little pig ran as fast as he could to his brother's house made of sticks.

Chapter 3: The Wolf Comes to the Stick House.

The Big Bad Wolf followed the first little pig to the second little pig's house made of sticks. He knocked on the door and said, “Little pigs, little pigs, let me in!”
But the little pigs answered, “Not by the hair on our chinny chin chins!”
Then the wolf said, “Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down!” And he did. |He huffed and puffed even harder|, and the stick house fell down. The two little pigs ran as fast as they could to the third little pig's brick house.

Chapter 4: The Wolf Comes to the Brick House.

The Big Bad Wolf followed the two little pigs to the third little pig's house made of bricks. He knocked on the door and said, “Little pigs, little pigs, let me in!”
But the little pigs answered, “Not by the hair on our chinny chin chins!”
Then the wolf said, “Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down!” But regardless of how hard he blew, the brick house did not fall down.
The wolf tried again, |huffing and puffing harder than ever|, but still the brick house stood strong. He was very angry now and decided to climb up the roof and go down the chimney to catch the little pigs. But the third little pig was very clever. He had a pot of boiling water waiting in the fireplace.
As the wolf came down the chimney, the third little pig quickly pulled the lid off the pot, and the wolf fell right into the boiling water! |With a loud yelp of pain|, he jumped out of the chimney and ran off into the forest, never to be seen again.
The three little pigs lived happily ever after in their strong brick house, safe from the Big Bad Wolf.
