THREE LITTLE PIGLETS.JPG
Once upon a time there (be) three brothers. They (be) piglets and they (live) near a forest. They (be) all very good friends. Their names (be) Piggy, Podgy and Lumpy. They (decide) to build each other a nice house, so they (can) visit each other. Piggy, who (be) a very practical pig with a lot of sense for time and how much it (cost), (decide) to build himself a straw house. It (be) very beautiful. He (plant) the most beautiful flowers around it and in the garden at the back he (grow) his vegetables and some herbs. He (be) very proud of it. Podgy (like) wood and (decide) to build a wooden house. He (paint) his house with a lot of colours so it (look) bright and happy. Lumpy, who (be) the most sensible of all of them, (decide) to build a brick house because he (know) that he (be) too heavy and a straw or a wooden house (can’t) keep his big body safe. In the forest a wolf (live) too. His name (be) Herman. He (observe) the three pigs building their houses and (decide) to have a nice pork chop for dinner. The pigs (finish) their houses. All three houses (look) very nice. Then the wolf (attack). First he (want) to eat Piggy. Piggy (hide) into his straw house, but the wolf (blow) it away, and Piggy (run) to his brother Podgy and they both (hide) into the wooden house. The wolf (follow) them. He (can’t) get into the house. So again he (blow) and (blow) and (blow) and finally (blow) down the pretty little wooden house. Piggy and Podgy (run) for their lives to their brother’s house. They (lock) themselves in and (close) all the windows. The wolf (come) running but he (can’t) break in. He (blow) and (blow), but the house didn't (doesn’t) move. So he (decide) to enter the house through the chimney. He (climb) on the roof and into the chimney he (go). But we know the three brothers (be) very smart. So they (put) a big saucepan on the fireplace and (light) a big fire. The wolf (fall) into the saucepan and they (lock) him in and (turn) him into a nice wolf soup. They (invite) all the animals from the forest and they (have) a feast because the big evil Herman the wolf (be) finally gone.
