Introduction. Once upon a time, in a quiet little town, there lived three little pigs. One day, the pigs decided it was time to leave their mother's home. Off they went to build homes of their own.

前言：很久很久以前，一座安静的小镇上住着三只小猪。 有一天，三只小猪觉得是时候离开妈妈的家了。 他们出发了，要去建造属于自己的房子。

The first little pig. The first little pig decided to build his home out of straw. In no time at all, the little pig built his house. Then he sat down to eat his lunch of pea soup, salad, and bread. The little pig happily slurped and chewed until he heard an angry knock on the door. It was a ravenous wolf.

第一只小猪。 第一只小猪决定用稻草来建自己的房子。 没一会儿工夫，小猪就把房子建好了。 然后他坐下来吃午餐，有豌豆汤、沙拉和面包。 小猪正开心地咕嘟喝汤、大口嚼东西，忽然听见有人怒气冲冲地敲门。 是一只饿坏了的大灰狼。

Little pig, little pig, let me come in, said the hungry wolf. Not by the hair of my chinny -chin -chin, said the frightened little pig. Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in, growled the wolf. As the wolf inhaled deeply, his lungs filled up like two balloons.

“小猪小猪，让我进去。”饥饿的大灰狼说道。 “就不就不，我下巴上的小软毛都不同意你进来！”吓坏了的小猪说道。 “那我就吹呀吹，吹倒你的房子！”大灰狼怒吼道。 大灰狼深吸一口气，肺胀得像两个大气球。

Whoosh! The wolf exhaled with such force that he blew the house into a haystack. He also blew the little pig down the street to his brother's house.

呼！大灰狼呼地吹了一大口气，力气大到把房子吹成了一堆干草。 他还把小猪吹得顺着街道滚到了他哥哥家。

The second little pig. The second little pig decided to build his house out of sticks. Just as he finished the roof, his little brother blew in. The little pig trembled as he told his brother about the wolf. Don't worry little brother, said the second little pig. Sticks are stronger than straw. Let's go inside for some peppermint tea. The pigs were deep in conversation when they heard an angry knock on the door.

第二只小猪。 第二只小猪决定用树枝建房子。 他刚盖好屋顶，弟弟就被吹进来了。 小猪浑身发抖，把遇到大灰狼的事告诉了哥哥。 “别担心呀弟弟，”第二只小猪说。 “树枝可比稻草结实。” “咱们进屋喝点薄荷茶吧。” 两只小猪聊得正起劲，忽然听见有人怒气冲冲地敲门。
