Once upon a time there were three little pigs. The first little pig built his house of
straw. The second little pig built his house of sticks. The third little pig was very
hardworking. He built his house of bricks.
One day the big, bad wolf happened to be walking by the house of the first. He was feeling very hungry, so he stopped and knocked on the door and said, “Little pig, little pig, let me come in.” The little pig replied, “Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin.” “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in,” said the wolf. So he huffed and he puffed and he blew in the first little pig’s house of straw. But before the wolf could catch the first little pig, he ran to the house of the second little pig.
The wolf went to the house of the second little pig and knocked on the door. “Little pig, little pig let me come in.” “Not by the hair of our chinny chin chins,” said the first and second little pigs. “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in,” said the wolf. So he huffed and he puffed and he blew in the second little pig’s house of sticks. But before that wolf could catch those little pigs, then ran to the house of the third little pig.
The wolf went to the house of the third little pig and knocked on the door. “Little pig, little pig let me come in,” said the wolf. “Not by the hair of our chinny chin chins.” cried the three little pigs. “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!” So he huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed. But he could not blow down that house of bricks. Now the wolf had an idea. “I think I’ll climb on the roof and go down the chimney and catch those little pigs.” But those little pigs were very wise about the ways of wolves. They got a big pot and filled it with water and put it in the fireplace. Then they started a big fire around the pot. About the time the water started to boil the wolf came down the chimney. “YEOW!” cried the wolf when he hit that pot of boiling water. He jumped so hard he flew right out of that chimney.
The big, bad wolf learned his lesson that day and never bothered those three little pigs again.
Adaptations: Teach the children this song to the tune of “Three Blind Mice.”
Three pink pigs. Three pink pigs.
See their ears. See their chins.
The big, bad wolf said, “Let me come in.
“Not by the hair of our chinny, chin, chins.”
So he huffed and he puffed til’ he blew their house in.
Three pink pigs. Three pink pigs.
