Once upon a time, there was a curious and adventurous child named Lucas. Lucas had curly black hair and bright green eyes. He loved to go on walks in the forest, dreaming about the wild animals he might see. This day, besides dreaming about animals, he was also exploring some insects in a grassy clearing.
Lucas was watching a trail of ants when he heard some voices. "What’s that?" he wondered. He was always curious. Lucas followed the voices, hiding behind a big tree. He peeked out and saw three little piglets!
The first piglet had pink curly hair and was always bouncing around. The second piglet had brown floppy ears and loved to play with sticks. The third piglet had a tiny tail that wiggled when she was excited.
The piglets were talking. "Do you live in a house?" one of them asked.
"Of course, I live in a house!" Lucas answered. He lived in a cozy house in Charlotte, with his mom and dad.
The youngest piglet, with the wiggly tail, said, "We left our mother's house. We've grown up, you see! She said we need to build our own houses because the forest is dangerous. There's a big, bad wolf that loves to eat piglets!"
Lucas felt a little scared, but he was a brave child. He knew he could help!
"I can help you build your houses!" he said.
Each piglet decided to build her own house. The first piglet built a house out of straw. She tied it up in big blocks, but she didn't even put in a door or a window! She wanted to finish quickly so she could go play.
"Lucas! Come play with me!" she called.
Lucas smiled. He knew he couldn't play until all the houses were finished. "I'll help you all, just a little bit each," he said.
Lucas used his superpower, Animal Communication, to talk to the piglets. They understood him perfectly!
The second piglet gathered wood from the forest. She built a cabin with a roof, doors, and windows. But she saw her sister playing and didn't put in many nails. She was too excited!
"Come on, Lucas! Let's play!" she called.
The third piglet wanted to build a house just like their mother's, with bricks, cement, glass windows, and a strong roof. It took a lot of time. Lucas and the piglet sweated as they worked. They laughed as they carried the heavy bricks.
The other two piglets were having fun in the forest. They shouted to Lucas and the third piglet, "We're playing tag! Come play with us!"
"Soon, we'll join you!" Lucas called back.
When they finished the third house, the piglet invited Lucas inside. "Let's make a delicious soup on the wood stove we built!" she said.
Lucas's eyes lit up. He loved to eat good food. He was so happy to be helping the piglets.
That night, the wolf appeared! The piglets and Lucas were scared. The wolf went straight to the straw house. With one strong blow, he knocked the whole house down! The first piglet ran through the dark forest.
"We need to go to our hiding place, the Secret Forest!" Lucas said worriedly.
The wolf, who was very hungry, didn't waste any time. He went straight to the wooden cabin. Two strong blows, and the house fell apart! The second piglet ran and found her sister hiding in the forest.
The wolf, now grumpy and irritated, went to the third house, the one made of bricks. He could smell the delicious soup coming from the chimney. He blew and blew, but the house didn't fall! The wolf was angry. He decided to go down the chimney.
He went down, down, down! He smelled something burning. His tail was on fire! He was so scared!
The wolf ran away!
The two hiding piglets laughed when they saw the wolf running away. They came back to their sister's house. Lucas was there too, and they all enjoyed a warm, delicious soup.
And so, Lucas and the three little piglets enjoyed that night, realizing that sometimes, good things take time!
