Once upon a time, there was a curious and adventurous child named Mia. Mia had bright blue eyes and beautiful wavy blonde hair. She loved going on walks in the forest, especially when she could dream about her favorite princesses. On this day, besides dreaming about princesses, Mia was also exploring the bugs in a grassy clearing in the middle of the forest.
Mia was watching a line of ants when she heard some voices. "Who's talking?" she wondered. Mia was very curious. She was always coming up with fun ideas, so she decided to find out what was going on. She walked quietly through the trees until she saw them. There were three tiny piglets!
They were so cute! One had curly pink hair, another had a long pink snout, and the last one was wearing a flower on her ear.
"Hello!" The piglets called out to Mia. "Do you live in a house?"
Mia was confused. "Of course, I live in a house! I live in Columbus with my family. It's a cozy home," she said.
The smallest piglet giggled. "We left our mom's house, we're all grown up now! Our mother told us to build houses because the forest is dangerous. There's a big bad wolf who likes to eat little piglets!"
Mia was only four years old. "A wolf? But you are so cute, why would he want to eat you?"
"He's mean! We have to be careful!" said the piglet with the flower on her ear.
"I can help!" said Mia. "I know how to build strong houses."
"Really?" said the piglet with the long snout. "How?"
"I have a special power," whispered Mia. "I can control ice and snow! I can make things very strong and sturdy."
Each piglet decided to build their own house. The piglet with the curly hair chose straw. She tied it together in big blocks and made a house without a door or a window! But she didn't want to wait to play! She called Mia over, but Mia said they would help all three piglets a little bit, so they could play together. Mia loved to play with her superpower.
The other piglet, the one with the long snout, decided to gather wood from the forest. She built a small cabin with a roof, a door, and a window. But she saw her sister playing, so she didn't worry about putting in many nails. Then she went to play too! Mia went to help the last piglet.
The last piglet wanted to build a house just like her mom's. It needed bricks, cement, glass windows, and a strong roof. It took a long time! Mia and the piglet worked hard and even got sweaty! But they laughed while they worked. They watched their sisters having fun in the forest.
When the piglet and Mia finally finished the house, the piglet invited Mia to have a snack in her new house! Mia was excited! They could cook something on the wood stove they had built.
That night, the wolf appeared! The piglets and Mia were scared! The wolf went straight to the straw house and with one strong blow, knocked the whole house down! The piglet who lived there ran through the forest, hoping the wolf wouldn't catch her. Mia worried and said they could go to their hiding place, the Ice Castle, if they needed to.
The wolf was hungry and didn't want to waste time, so he went to the wooden cabin. It took two strong blows, and the house fell apart! The second piglet ran and found her sister hiding in the forest.
The wolf was already angry. He went to blow down the brick house, where a delicious smell was coming from the chimney. He blew and blew, but the house didn't fall. So he decided to go down the chimney! It seemed like a good idea! But as he went down, he smelled something burning! His tail was on fire!
This time it was the wolf who was scared. He quickly ran away!
The two hiding piglets laughed when they saw the wolf run away. They finally returned to their sister's house. Their sister welcomed them, and they all shared a delicious soup with Mia. It felt good to be safe and warm in a strong house.
And so, Mia and the three little piglets enjoyed that night, realizing that sometimes, good things take time!
