Once upon a time, there was a curious and adventurous child named Oliver. Oliver loved to go on walks in the forest. He would dream about dinosaurs, imagining them stomping through the trees. On this day, Oliver was exploring a grassy clearing in the middle of the forest, watching a trail of ants. Suddenly, he heard some voices!
"This forest is so big!" one voice said.
"I don't want to get lost!" another voice chimed in.
Oliver's brave heart told him to find out who was talking. He followed the voices until he saw three little piglets! They were all different! One had a curly tail, another had a pink nose that wiggled, and the third had a funny little snort.
"Hello!" the piglets said, before even saying their names. "Do you live in a house?"
Oliver was a little confused. "Of course I live in a house!" he said. "It's in Dallas! It's a cozy house, and I share it with my family!"
The youngest piglet, with the pink nose, explained, "Well, my sisters and I left our mother's house. We're all grown up now! Our mother told us to build our own houses because the forest is dangerous. There's a wolf who loves to eat piglets!"
Oliver, who was only four years old, thought about this for a second. "I can help!" he said. "I'm super strong!"
Each piglet decided to build her own house. The first piglet wanted to use straw. She tied it up in big blocks and made a house without a door or window. She wanted to finish quickly so she could go play!
"Oliver, come play with me!" she called out.
"I'll help you all a little bit," Oliver said. "That way, we can all play together!" Oliver loved using his superpower, Super strength, to help.
The second piglet gathered wood from the forest and built her cabin. She had a roof, doors, and windows. But she saw her sister playing and didn't bother putting in many nails. Finally, she went out to play too!
The third piglet wanted to build a house like her mother's. She wanted bricks, cement, glass windows, and a secure roof. It took time, and Oliver and the piglet sweated from all the hard work! But they laughed while they worked. Meanwhile, they could see the other two piglets having lots of fun.
When they finished, the third piglet invited Oliver to eat something in her new house. "We can cook something on the wood stove we built!" she said.
Oliver was excited! He loved to eat!
That night, the wolf appeared! The piglets and Oliver were scared! The wolf went straight to the straw house and with one strong blow, knocked it down! The piglet who lived there ran through the dark forest without the wolf being able to catch her.
"We can go to my secret cave if we need to!" Oliver said, worried about the piglet.
The wolf, who was hungry and didn't want to waste time, went 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, already irritated, went to blow down the third house. A delicious smell was coming out of the chimney! He blew and blew, but nothing happened. 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! He ran away quickly.
The two hiding piglets laughed when they saw the wolf running away. They were finally able to return to the third piglet's house. Their sister welcomed them, and along with Oliver, they had a delicious soup! It felt good to feel welcomed, inside a warm and safe house!
And so, Oliver and the three little piglets enjoyed that night, realizing that sometimes, good things take time!
