Once upon a time, there was a curious and adventurous child named Joseph. Joseph loved to go on walks. It was during these walks that he would dream about his favorite thing: robots! He would imagine building amazing robots with his own hands.
One sunny day, Joseph was walking through a forest. He was watching a trail of ants carry tiny crumbs. Suddenly, he heard some voices coming from the woods. Joseph's inventive mind was curious, so he decided to follow the sounds! He was excited to see what was happening in the middle of the forest.
Joseph came to a clearing, and he saw three little piglets! The first piglet was wearing a bright pink hat and had a big, happy smile. The second piglet was really, really fast, and she was jumping around like a little bouncing ball! The third piglet was very calm and thoughtful.
As soon as they saw Joseph, the piglets all came running towards him! "Hello, Joseph! Do you live in a house?" asked the first piglet.
Joseph was a little confused. "Of course I live in a house! I live in Charlotte, and it's a very cozy house with my family."
"Well," said the youngest piglet, "my sisters and I left our mother's house. We've grown up now! Our mother told us to build our own houses. You see, the forest can be dangerous, and there's a wolf who loves to eat piglets!" Joseph felt a little nervous. He was only seven years old, but he knew about wolves!
"I can help you build your houses!" said Joseph.
"Really?!" shouted all three piglets. They were so happy!
Each of the piglets wanted to build her own house. The first piglet decided to use straw. She tied it up in big blocks and made a house, but it didn't even have a door or a window! She wanted to finish quickly so she could go play. "Joseph! Come play with me!" she called.
But Joseph said, "I will help all three of you build your houses a little bit each, so you can all play together!" Joseph loved to play with his robotic arms.
The second piglet decided to build a cabin out of wood from the forest. She made a roof, doors, and windows, but she saw her sister playing and didn't worry about putting in many nails. "I'll finish later," she said, and went to play.
The third piglet wanted to build a house just like her mother's, with bricks, cement, glass windows, and a strong roof. It took time, but Joseph and the piglet worked hard together. They even got a little sweaty, but they laughed while they worked.
Finally, the third piglet's house was finished! "Joseph, come inside and have some food with me!" she said. Joseph was excited! He could use the wood stove they had built to cook something delicious.
That night, a big, bad wolf appeared! Joseph and the piglets were scared! The wolf went straight to the straw house and with one big blow, knocked it down! The piglet ran through the dark forest without the wolf being able to catch her. "We should go to Robot Planet!" said Joseph, who was worried. It was his secret hiding place.
The wolf, who was hungry and didn't want to waste time, went to the wooden cabin. Two strong blows were all it took to knock the house down! The second piglet ran and found her sister hiding in the forest.
The wolf was getting frustrated. 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, but the house didn't fall. So he decided to go down the chimney! He thought it was a good idea! But when he started to go down, he smelled something burning! His tail was on fire!
This time, it was the wolf who was scared! He ran away quickly!
The two hiding piglets laughed when they saw the wolf running away. They came back to their sister's house, and along with Joseph, they had a delicious soup! It felt so good to be safe and warm!
And so, Joseph and the three little piglets enjoyed that night, realizing that sometimes, good things take time!
