Once upon a time, in a small village, there were three little pigs. They were the sons of a kind and hardworking pig farmer. The father taught them the importance of hard work and self-reliance.

The first little pig was very lazy. He decided to build his house out of straw, which was easy and quick to make. The pig father was worried but allowed him to proceed. The first pig worked for a few days, and soon his house was complete. He moved in and lived happily, but he didn’t realize the danger he was in.

One day, a big, bad wolf came to the village. He heard about the first little pig’s straw house and decided to pay him a visit. The wolf blew so hard on the straw house that it fell down, and the first little pig ran away, crying for help.

The second little pig was not as lazy as his brother. He decided to build his house out of sticks. He worked hard and spent a lot of time making sure it was strong. When the wolf came to the second pig’s house, he tried to blow it down, but the house was too strong. The wolf then used his smartness and made a plan.

The wolf went to the second pig’s house and asked, “Little Pig, Little Pig, let me in.” The second pig replied, “Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!” The wolf then left and went to get some water. He came back and said, “Little Pig, Little Pig, let me in.” The second pig again replied, “Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!” But this time, the wolf tricked the pig by saying, “I’m not the wolf, I’m your uncle.” The second pig, feeling sorry for the wolf, opened the door, and the wolf blew the house down with a single breath.

The third little pig was the most diligent and clever of the three. He knew that the wolf was coming, so he decided to build his house out of bricks. He worked tirelessly for many days, and when it was finally complete, the third pig moved in and lived there happily.

When the wolf heard about the third pig’s brick house, he was very angry. He went to the house and tried to blow it down, but the house was too strong. The wolf then used his cunning and went to the third pig’s house at night. He dressed up as an old woman and knocked on the door, saying, “Little Pig, Little Pig, let me in.” The third pig, being cautious, asked, “Who’s there?” The wolf replied, “It’s your old friend, the woman who brought you up.” The third pig, trusting his words, opened the door a crack and peeked out. To his surprise, it was the wolf dressed as an old woman. The third pig quickly shut the door and locked it.

The wolf tried to trick the third pig again by saying, “Little Pig, Little Pig, let me in.” But the third pig was not fooled this time. He asked, “How do I know it’s really you, old woman?” The wolf replied, “You can feel my hair.” The third pig reached out to touch the wolf’s hair, but the wolf pulled back quickly. The third pig then said, “I don’t believe you, you’re not my old woman!” The wolf got angry and tried to blow the door down, but the third pig had prepared for this. He had set up a pot of boiling water on the other side of the door. When the wolf blew the door down, the hot water splashed on him, and he ran away, howling in pain.

The third little pig lived happily ever after in his brick house, safe from the big, bad wolf. And from that day on, he never forgot the lessons his father had taught him about hard work and cleverness.

从前，在一个小村庄里，有三只小猪。他们是那位善良、勤劳的猪农夫的儿子。猪父亲教导他们勤劳和自力更生的意义。

第一只小猪非常懒惰。他决定用稻草来建造自己的房子，这既容易又快。猪父亲虽然担心，但还是让他这么做。第一只小猪工作了几天后，他的房子就建成了。他搬进去后，快乐地生活着，但他没有意识到自己身处危险之中。

有一天，一个大坏狼来到了这个村庄。他听说了第一只小猪的稻草房子，决定去拜访他。狼吹了一口气，稻草房子就倒塌了，第一只小猪哭着寻求帮助。

第二只小猪不像他的兄弟那么懒惰。他决定用树枝来建造自己的房子。他努力工作，花了很多时间确保房子坚固。当狼来到第二只小猪的房子时，他试图吹倒它，但房子太坚固了。狼然后利用他的聪明才智，制定了一个计划。

第三只小猪是最勤劳、最聪明的。他知道狼要来，所以决定用砖头来建造自己的房子。他不知疲倦地工作了好多天，当房子最终建成时，第三只小猪搬了进去，快乐地生活着。

第三只小猪在砖房子里快乐地生活下去，远离了大坏狼。从那天起，他永远不会忘记父亲教给他的关于勤劳和聪明的教训。
