Once upon a time, there were three little pigs named Percy, Patrick, and Preston. Their mother had warned them about the big, bad wolf, so they decided to build their own houses.
Percy, the oldest and laziest pig, built his house of straw. It was quick and easy, and he could be lazy and play instead of working hard.
Patrick, the middle pig, built his house of sticks. It was a little sturdier than Percy's, but it still wasn't very strong.
Preston, the youngest and smartest pig, built his house of bricks. It took him longer, but he knew it would be the strongest and safest.
One day, the big, bad wolf came along. He knocked on Percy's door and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in!" But Percy was scared and said, "No, no, no, I won't let you in!"
The wolf huffed and he puffed, and he blew Percy's house down in no time. Then he went to Patrick's house and knocked on the door.
Patrick was a little braver than Percy, but he was still scared. He said, "No, no, no, I won't let you in!"
The wolf huffed and he puffed, and he blew Patrick's house down, too.
Then the wolf went to Preston's house and knocked on the door.
"Little pig, little pig, let me come in!" he said.
But Preston was smart and brave. He said, "No, no, no, I won't let you in!"
The wolf huffed and he puffed, but he couldn't blow Preston's house down. The wolf was so angry that he tried to climb down the chimney, but Preston had a pot of boiling water ready and poured it down the chimney onto the wolf.
The wolf yelped and ran away. And Preston lived happily ever after in his strong brick house.
The moral of the story is: It's important to be smart and work hard. And it's always best to be prepared!
