Once upon a time, there was a curious and adventurous child named Amelia. Amelia had bright blonde hair, green eyes, and loved to go on walks in the forest. During these walks, she would dream about her favorite thing: flowers! She thought they were so beautiful and colorful. One day, Amelia was exploring a grassy clearing in the middle of the forest. She was watching a line of ants carrying tiny crumbs when she heard some voices. "What's that sound?" she wondered. Her dreamer personality made her curious about new things.
Amelia followed the sound of the voices, peeking through the tall grass. She saw three tiny piglets, all with pink snouts and curly tails. They were so small! The piglets were giggling and talking excitedly. Amelia was curious, so she decided to get a little closer.
"Hello!" she said, smiling. "What are you doing?"
The piglets gasped and looked at Amelia. They were so surprised to see her! "Excuse me, Miss," said the smallest piglet, who had the biggest and cutest snout. "Do you live in a house?"
Amelia was confused. "Of course I live in a house! I live in Jacksonville, with my family."
The little piglet nodded. "Well, we left our mother's house, because we're all grown up now. Our mother told us we need to build our own houses, because the forest is dangerous. There is a wolf who loves to eat piglets!" She shivered, pulling her tail tight. "But we don't know how to build a house!"
Amelia's eyes lit up. She loved to help people! "I can help you build your houses!" she exclaimed.
The piglets looked at each other, their eyes shining with hope. "Really?" asked the middle piglet. She had a little bit of straw stuck in her curly tail.
"Yes, really!" Amelia smiled. She loved to play with her special power – she could make plants grow instantly! "Let's start!"
Each of the piglets decided to build their own house. The first piglet wanted to build a house out of straw. She gathered some straw and tied it together in big blocks. "This will be the fastest way!" she said, trying to make it look like a house. "I want to go play!" She didn't even make a door or window!
But Amelia said, "Let's help each other, so we can all play together!" She loved to play with her superpower.
The second piglet decided to gather wood from the forest and built a little cabin. It had a roof, doors, and windows, but she saw her sister playing and didn't want to put in many nails. Soon, she ran off to play!
The third piglet wanted to build a house like their mother's, with bricks, cement, glass windows, and a secure roof. It took a lot of time. Amelia and she sweated with all that work! But they laughed while doing it! "This is going to be so fun!" the piglet said. "We can have a fireplace and cook something yummy!"
Meanwhile, the two other piglets were already playing and having lots of fun!
When Amelia and the third piglet finished building the house, the little piglet invited Amelia to eat something in her new house. "We can cook something on the wood stove we built!" she said, her eyes sparkling.
Amelia was so excited! She couldn't wait to see what they would cook.
That night, the wolf appeared! The piglets and Amelia were scared! The wolf went straight to the straw house and with just one strong blow, knocked the whole house down! The piglet who lived there ran through the dark forest without the wolf being able to catch her. Amelia was worried and said, "Maybe we should go to my special place, the Magic Garden!"
The wolf was hungry and didn't want to waste time, so he went straight to the wooden cabin. It took two strong blows, and soon the house fell apart. The second piglet ran and found her sister hiding in the forest.
The wolf was already irritated. He went to blow down the third house, made of bricks, from which a delicious smell was coming out of the chimney. He blew, blew, blew, and nothing. The house didn't fall. So he decided to go down the chimney! It seemed like a good idea! And when he started to descend, he smelled something burning! His tail was on fire!
This time it was the wolf who was scared and quickly ran away from there!
The two hiding piglets laughed when they saw the wolf running away and finally were able to return. Their sister welcomed them, and along with Amelia, they had a delicious soup! It felt good to feel welcomed, inside a warm and safe house!
And so, Amelia and the three little piglets enjoyed that night, realizing that sometimes, good things take time!
