Once upon a time, there was a curious and adventurous child named Logan. Logan had curly black hair and big black eyes. He was a little shy, but loved to go on walks. On these walks, he would dream about his favorite thing, robots. One day, Logan was walking through a forest. He was watching a trail of ants when he heard some voices. He was curious, and even though he was shy, he followed the sound of the voices.
Logan soon came to a grassy clearing. And there, in the middle of the clearing, were three little piglets! The piglets were very funny. One had spots all over her, another had a curly tail, and the third had a tiny pink nose.
The piglets saw Logan and called him over. “Hello,” they said, “Do you live in a house?” They didn’t even wait for Logan to introduce himself!
“Of course I live in a house,” Logan said, surprised. “I live in New York City! It’s a very cozy house, shared with my family!”
“Oh, well,” said the youngest piglet. “We just left our mother’s house. We’re all grown up now! Our mother told us that we had to build our own houses because the forest is dangerous. There’s a wolf who loves to eat piglets!”
Logan was a little scared. He was only six years old! “Don’t worry!” he said. “I can help you build houses!”
The piglets were excited! “We can each build our own house!” they said. “And we can all play together!”
The first piglet decided to build her house out of straw. She tied it up in big blocks, but didn’t even put in a door or a window! She wanted to finish quickly so she could go play. “Come on, Logan!” she called. “Let’s play!”
“I’ll help you all,” said Logan. “We can all play together.” Logan loved to play with his special power. He could control machines!
The second piglet went into the forest to gather wood. She built a nice cabin with a roof, doors, and windows, but she saw her sister playing and didn’t bother putting in many nails! She wanted to go play too!
Logan then went to help the third piglet. She wanted to build a house just like her mother’s, with bricks, cement, glass windows, and a strong roof. This took a long time. Logan and the piglet sweated as they worked! They were tired, but they laughed and talked as they worked.
Finally, the house was finished! Logan and the piglet were very proud of themselves! They looked over at the other piglets, who were already playing and having lots of fun! The third piglet invited Logan to eat something in her new house. Logan was excited. He loved to cook! They could cook something on the wood stove they had built.
That night, a big, scary wolf appeared! The piglets and Logan were scared! The wolf went straight to the straw house and with one big blow, knocked the whole house down! The piglet who lived there ran into the dark forest. The wolf was too fast to catch her!
“I’m worried,” said Logan. “We could go to my hiding place! It’s a secret tower!”
The wolf was hungry and didn’t want to waste time. He went to the wooden cabin. He blew hard on the cabin, and with two blows, the cabin fell apart! The second piglet ran into the forest to find her sister.
The wolf was irritated now. He went to the third house. It was made of bricks and a delicious smell was coming from the chimney! He blew, blew, blew, but the house didn’t fall! So he decided to go down the chimney! It seemed like a good idea! But as 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 finally came out of hiding and went back to their sister’s house. Their sister welcomed them home. They all had delicious soup! It felt good to be safe and warm in the house!
And so, Logan and the three little piglets enjoyed that night. They realized that sometimes, good things take time!
