The starting time little pig was very lazy. He didn't want to work at all and he built his house out of straw. The 2nd lilliputian pig worked a petty bit harder but he was somewhat lazy also and he built his firm out of sticks. Then, they sang and danced and played together the rest of the day.

The third little squealer worked hard all day and built his house with bricks. Information technology was a sturdy house complete with a fine fireplace and chimney. Information technology looked like it could withstand the strongest winds.

The next 24-hour interval, a wolf happened to pass by the lane where the three lilliputian pigs lived; and he saw the harbinger house, and he smelled the grunter inside. He idea the pig would make a mighty fine meal and his mouth began to water.

          Then I'll huff    and I'll puff    and I'll blow your house down!

His big jaws clamped downwards on nothing simply air and the two little pigs scrambled away every bit fast as their niggling hooves would carry them.
