13. SUMMARY OF THE THREE LITTLE
PIGS.
Three little pigs were being chased by a wolf.
They each ran into their own houses: a straw
house, a stick house, and a brick house. They
didn’t want the wolf to come in, but he blew down
the straw house and then the stick house. The
pigs from the straw house and stick house ran to
the brick house, where the third pig lives. The
wolf could not blow the brick house down. He
tried to climb in through the chimney, but he got
burned on the fireplace.
