三隻小豬
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.
從前，有三隻小豬。等牠們長大了，豬媽媽就讓牠們出去闖天下，自己過日子。「替自己蓋堅固的房子，」媽媽叮嚀牠們，「還要小心大野狼。」
第一隻小豬遇到一個扛著一捆稻草的人。「請問可以給我一些稻草蓋房子嗎？」牠問。那個人給了牠一些，小豬很快就用稻草蓋好了房子，然後躺下來休息。
沒多久，大野狼來了，敲了敲門。「小豬，小豬，讓我進去吧。」
「憑我下巴上的鬍子發誓，絕對不行！」
「那我就呼呼吹氣，把你的房子吹倒！」於是，大野狼呼呼地吹，把稻草房子吹倒了。小豬拚命跑到哥哥家。
第二隻小豬的房子是用樹枝蓋的。大野狼跟著追來，敲了敲門。「小豬，小豬，讓我進去吧。」
「憑我們下巴上的鬍子發誓，絕對不行！」
「那我就呼呼吹氣，把你們的房子吹倒！」於是牠呼呼地吹，樹枝房子嘩啦一聲垮了。兩隻小豬趕緊跑到另一個兄弟家。
第三隻小豬辛辛苦苦工作了一整個星期。牠用磚頭蓋了房子，裝了堅固的門，還砌了一座大煙囪。兄弟們來了，牠讓牠們進屋，然後把門鎖上。
接著，大野狼來了。「小豬，小豬，讓我進去吧。」
「憑我們下巴上的鬍子發誓，絕對不行！」
「那我就呼呼吹氣，把你們的房子吹倒！」
於是牠呼呼地吹。牠又呼呼地吹。牠一直吹到滿臉通紅，可是磚頭房子一動也不動。
大野狼氣壞了。牠爬上屋頂，大喊：「我要從煙囪鑽下去，把你們通通吃掉！」
可是第三隻小豬早就準備好了。牠在火上放了一大鍋水，水正滾得厲害。大野狼順著煙囪滑下來，噗通一聲，剛好掉進鍋裡。牠嗷的一聲跳出來，飛快地從煙囪竄回去，逃進了森林，再也不敢來找三隻小豬的麻煩。
從此以後，三隻小豬一起在堅固的磚頭房子裡過著幸福的日子。
