There are three little pigs. They live in a small house with their mother. “This house is too small. The three of you must leave home. You must build your own homes,” says the mother pig one day.

  “I will build a house of hay (干草),” the first little pig says. “It will not be hard. Then I can play.” “I will use sticks (木棍) to make a house,” says the second little pig. “It will be easy.” The second little pig quickly builds his home. He goes outside to play with his friends. “I will build my house of bricks. It will take a long time,” says the third little pig. He builds his house. It is hard work but the house is strong.
