Three little pigs sang cheerful songs, danced funny dances, and played various musical instruments. And so it went all summer.
What a marvellous pig business.
Said the Owl, flying over the clearing where they were having fun.
And when autumn came and it began to get cold in the evenings, one of the brothers named Grundelson said:
Everyone in the world needs a home, both people and animals, and so do we — little pigs.
Oh, not now. When it gets really cold, then we'll think about it. For now, let's play.
Replied Grunkin and Gruntley.
Did you hear that?!
The owl's voice rang out at that moment, as she sat in a tree watching the brothers.
A Wolf has appeared in our neighbourhood, he's mean, hungry and terrifying.
Oh, if you're afraid of him,
Objected Grunkin and Gruntley.
Then stay in your hollow.
And they themselves sang in a friendly pig squeal in two voices:
We're not afraid
Of the grey Wolf,
Grey Wolf.
Where do you roam
Grey Wolf,
Grey Wolf?
Who would have thought that the Owl's words about the wolf in the forest would come true. This news was on everyone's lips.
The piglets realised things were bad when they went to sleep. It was quite cool outside.
And in the morning they woke up from the cold, and it became quite clear that cold weather was approaching, and they needed to build a house. In it they could hide from the Wolf and keep warm during the harsh frosts.
Grunkin said:
I'll build a house from straw. It will be warm and soft, and there's so much of it everywhere, no need to go far for building materials, no need to spend money and time on delivery. And we won't need to call crooked craftsmen.
And I'll build from branches and twigs. So it won't blow away in the wind.
Replied Gruntley.
As they said, so they did.
At that time their brother Grundelson was building his house.
He was distinguished by his intelligence and resourcefulness, knew how to combine play and work. Grundelson made a foundation from stone, walls from brick, a roof from red tiles, installed solar panels on it to generate electricity. After all, inside he wanted to equip the house with smart technology, and for that he needed a constant power supply.
And Gruntley and Grunkin continued to sing and dance:
One and two,
And it's all ready,
A house built from straw,
Three and four,
From branches too,
We can have fun again.
The Wolf heard their songs and shouted:
Who's making noise in the forest when the Wolf is tired and sleeping?
And when he saw two plump rosy-cheeked piglets, he squealed with delight:
Wow, what well-fed little ones! I could only dream of such! Would you look at that, how lucky! To catch two pigs at once!
The piglets got scared and ran into Gruntley's straw house.
The Wolf approached their shelter, scratched behind his ear, and said in bewilderment:
What's this haystack? I'll easily destroy it! I'll just take a big breath and blow with all my might! Your flimsy straw shack will scatter in all directions.
And the Wolf blew. And the straw scattered in all directions. The house collapsed. And the piglets ran to the second house that Grunkin had built. The Wolf jumped after them.
Oh, and what's this rickety shack made of branches? Ha-ha-ha! I'll break this one too, but I'll have to work a bit here, use some force.
And the Wolf began to shake Grunkin's house. The branches fell, the supports broke and this flimsy little house also collapsed.
The piglets ran as fast as they could.
Ah, just look at these clever pigs! They're running away from me.
The Wolf howled.
I'll catch them anyway!
And he grabbed them by their hind legs. The piglets ran only on their front legs. A huge pine tree appeared ahead.
Let's scatter in different directions.
Shouted Gruntley, remembering lessons from his school PE teacher.
And they rushed in different directions: Gruntley to the right, and Grunkin to the left. And the Wolf remained in the middle, and with a full run crashed into the pine tree.
The piglets' legs slipped from his huge paws, and he hit his head against the pine trunk so hard that sparks flew from his eyes, and pine cones rained down on his head.
The brothers, panting, reached Grundelson's house. He opened the door for them and let them in.
The piglets trembled with fear. Tears rolled down their snouts.
Calm down.
Said Grundelson.
Everything will be fine! The Wolf won't be able to overcome my house. It's strong, it won't be blown away by wind, won't be broken by force. And this will be a lesson for you that you can sing, play and dance if you have somewhere to run to! There!
At that moment the Wolf ran around the house, tried to destroy it, but only broke all his claws and ground his teeth to dust. And so he left with nothing.
And inside Grundelson's house, he decided to give his brothers a tour.
My house is very smart. It doesn't have a lock, it opens by hoof print. It has motion sensors, a wireless mini-button for the light above the work surface in the kitchen, a cube with pre-programmed television channels, a gas and smoke detector.
And in the bedroom, when I wake up and it's still dark outside, I say: "Good morning!", and the light turns on by itself from the sound of my voice.
When I leave the bathroom, the light turns off by itself from the closing door, and the ventilation turns on. And I also have a robot vacuum. It cleans not only the floor, but also the air from dust and allergenic particles.
Wow! How brilliant!
The brothers marvelled.
And you know what? I suggest you move in with me in this house.
Said Grundelson.
But for that we need to build a second floor so there's enough space for everyone.
Brilliant idea! Thank you!
Grunkin and Gruntley chimed in.
And they all got down to work together and sang:
Now we must build
A new two-storey house!
To avoid any mishap,
We need to live in a strong house!
The work went quickly. The piglets built the second floor, connected the whole house to an alarm system and put it under guard, and lived in it happily, peacefully and cheerfully.
