The Three Little Pigs - a fable Once upon a time Somewhere, not so far away Three little pigs lived in a merry way Each one of them had their skills One was lazy, one was dumb And the third one was a nerd What they shared was being selfish. Their mother couldn't keep silent and said: "I am tired and sick of your idle ways It's time to leave, no more delays Find your paths, build a life, Do as you like, Get out boys it is Springtime. No need to worry about me I'll be fine. Off they went out on the streets The 3 siblings finally stand on their own feet And have to take responsibility for their deeds. After an hour the lazy one built a house of straw It's a quick solution and super easy Plus he didn't have to spoil his entire day by working.

The dumb piglet found some sticks on his way He crafted a house with his lack of wisdom You can say it didn't look like a solid place to stay. Pig number three, the nerd was keen He decided to build a house out of stone -It's unknown where he found it- At least it was sturdy and would look serene Once finished in the near future. The downside was the experiment went slow But with each brick he laid he did know Once it was winter he had a home A warm and safe shelter for him alone. The day arrived that the wolf had the guts To stop by It only took him one huff and a blow And that's why The hasty hut made out of hay Didn't last till the next day.

Only three puffs and blows were needed To scatter the dumb pig's hut made of sticks. It's worth mentioning that the wolf felt happy For the time being he had had plenty of pork to eat Finally, he could sleep without feeling hungry. As the cold, icy wind blew through the oak's tree-top The wolf made a stop at the third piglet's home A place that stood firm since it was solidly built out of stone. He knocked at the door of the selfish swine Who refused to let him in *Get lost,* he yelled, just like his mother had taught him What he didn't know was that The wolf was not lazy, not dumb and no nerd at all He was skilled Able to jump high and did not easily give up. **The end of the fable...** It's clear to see That lazy and dumb ended up in the wolf's belly. Those who believe the smart piglet escaped death should know they are wrong. If safety is found in solitary, being locked up in one's home, it takes away all freedom. If the wolf didn't eat the pork the nerdy little pig stayed inside till eternity.
