三只小猪
Once upon a time, there were three little pigs. When they were old enough, their mother sent them out into the world to make their own way. "Build yourselves strong houses," she told them, "and watch out for the wolf."
The first little pig met a man carrying a bundle of straw. "Please may I have some straw to build a house?" he asked. The man gave him some, and the pig quickly built himself a house of straw. Then he lay down for a rest.
Soon the wolf came along and knocked at the door. "Little pig, little pig, let me come in."
"Not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin!"
"Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in!" So the wolf huffed and he puffed, and he blew the house in. The little pig ran as fast as he could to his brother's house.
The second little pig had built his house of sticks. The wolf followed and knocked at the door. "Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in."
"Not by the hair on our chinny-chin-chins!"
"Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in!" So he huffed and he puffed, and the house of sticks came crashing down. The two little pigs ran off to their brother's house.
The third little pig had worked hard all week. He had built his house of bricks, with a strong door and a big chimney. When his brothers arrived, he let them in and locked the door behind them.
Then the wolf came. "Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in."
"Not by the hair on our chinny-chin-chins!"
"Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in!"
So he huffed and he puffed. He huffed and he puffed again. He huffed and puffed until he was red in the face, but the brick house didn't move at all.
The wolf was furious. He climbed up onto the roof. "I'll come down the chimney and eat you all up!" he shouted.
But the third little pig was ready. He had put a big pot of water on the fire, and it was boiling hard. The wolf slid down the chimney and landed – splash! – right in the pot. He leapt out with a howl, shot back up the chimney and ran off into the woods, and he never bothered the three little pigs again.
After that, the three pigs lived happily together in the strong brick house.
从前，有三只小猪。等它们长大了，猪妈妈就让它们出去闯世界，自己过日子。“给自己盖结实的房子，”妈妈叮嘱它们，“还要当心大灰狼。”
第一只小猪遇见一个扛着一捆稻草的人。“请问能给我一点稻草盖房子吗？”它问。那人给了它一些，小猪很快就用稻草盖好了房子，然后躺下来休息。
没过多久，大灰狼来了，敲了敲门。“小猪，小猪，让我进去吧。”
“凭我下巴上的胡子发誓，绝对不行！”
“那我就呼哧呼哧吹口气，把你的房子吹倒！”于是，大灰狼呼哧呼哧地吹，把稻草房子吹倒了。小猪拼命跑到了哥哥家。
第二只小猪的房子是用树枝盖的。大灰狼跟着追来，敲了敲门。“小猪，小猪，让我进去吧。”
“凭我们下巴上的胡子发誓，绝对不行！”
“那我就呼哧呼哧吹口气，把你们的房子吹倒！”于是它呼哧呼哧地吹，树枝房子哗啦一声塌了。两只小猪赶紧跑到了另一个兄弟家。
第三只小猪辛辛苦苦干了一整个星期。它用砖头盖了房子，装了结实的门，还砌了一个大烟囱。兄弟们来了，它让它们进屋，然后把门锁上了。
接着，大灰狼来了。“小猪，小猪，让我进去吧。”
“凭我们下巴上的胡子发誓，绝对不行！”
“那我就呼哧呼哧吹口气，把你们的房子吹倒！”
于是它呼哧呼哧地吹。它又呼哧呼哧地吹。它一直吹到满脸通红，可是砖房子一动也不动。
大灰狼气坏了。它爬上屋顶，大喊：“我要从烟囱里钻下去，把你们统统吃掉！”
可是第三只小猪早有准备。它在火上放了一大锅水，水正滚得厉害。大灰狼顺着烟囱滑下来，扑通一声，正好掉进了锅里。它嗷的一声跳出来，飞快地从烟囱里窜了回去，逃进了树林，再也不敢来找三只小猪的麻烦了。
从那以后，三只小猪一起在结实的砖房子里过上了幸福的日子。
