They were walking, walking, and suddenly they met a man. He was carrying a cart with wood. Says the piglet in the middle:

- Uncle, can you give us some wood to make a little house?

- I give.

They made a little house, and one day the wolf comes.

- Let me in, my piglets, because I'm very cold.

- We won't let you in.

- Let me in, or I'll go up to the roof of the house and burst in.

They still wouldn't let me in. The wolf went up to the roof of the house and nested until it burst in. When he did, the three pigs all ran away.

They walked, walked, walked until they met another man. He was carrying a cart with bricks. Says the biggest piggy:

- Uncle, can you give me a small brick to make a small house?

The man says:

- I give.

He did; and the biggest piglet made a little house. Suddenly the wolf comes. He says:

- Let me in, you little piggies!

Says the biggest pig:

- I won't let you go.

- Let me in, little piggy, or I'll go up to the roof of the house and burst in.

He went upstairs, but he couldn't get in. He says:

- If you won't let me in, come tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, because I know a garden with so much fruit, walnuts, plums, pears, we'll pick them.

Says the biggest piggy:

- Okay, I'll go.

The piglet got up at six in the morning, left before the wolf, and packed himself well. He himself ate and hurried home. Suddenly the wolf comes.

- Piglet, are you up, are you coming?

It says:

- Hahaha, I was there before you! I brought it home.

The wolf again made up something to come to that garden again tomorrow morning at six o'clock, there is fruit, grapes, everything.

Says the piglet:

- Good. - But the piggy got up early again, left at five o'clock, packed himself well, and brought the others home.

Suddenly the wolf comes again. He says:

- Piglet, are you coming?

- Oh, I've been there. I brought it home, and I was well fed.

Well, the wolf got very angry. Then he says:

- Come on, I have wine, a barrel of wine. Get up at five and let's go.

Says the piglet:

- Good!

The piglet got up at four in the morning, hid the two babies and left. He drank the wine and hid in the barrel. Suddenly the wolf comes. The door was open, he thought, the piglets have gone. He was so mad that now he was out on the frontier, he caught the piglets and ate all three. He ran.

The biggest piglet saw the wolf coming and always rolled in front of him. He chased the wolf harder and harder, until the wolf ran away. And he would get out of the barrel and go home. He locked the door. Suddenly the wolf comes.

- Coming, piggy?

It says:

- Well, I've been there, I've even chased you.

Says the wolf:

- If it was you, let me in.

It says:

- I won't let you.

- At least let one of my legs in.

He let that in. Then the wolf says:

- Let my other leg in.

- I won't let the other one in. Wait a drop, I'll let you all the way in.

Then the wolf says:

- Let me in, or I'll ruin the house for you.

Then the piglet says:

- We are not afraid of that!

The biggest piglet put a big kettle of water in the pot and built a big fire to boil the water. The wolf went up to the roof of the house and scratched the chimney. The piggy put the kettle of water under the chimney, so that when the wolf fell in, he would fall into the water.

He scratched, scratched, scratched until he fell. Then the piglet threw a big blanket over him, tied him up and gave him a good scalding. Then they roasted him and made such a feast that their ears stood on end.

If the three piglets hadn't eaten the wolf, my story would have lasted longer.
