I have heard various stories throughout my life but today I would like to talk about the one that I have the most strong memory of. That would be a story told to me by my fifth grade teacher. I remember that story clearly because it was very fun and exhilarating experience. The story is pretty common and is mostly heard by everyone. The story’s name is Three Piglets. It’s about once upon a time Three Piglets left their nests to build a life on their own. When they came over an open piece of land, they decided to build their own homes. The youngest one, being the laziest one, decided to make a straw house because it was easier to make. The second one decided to make a house out of wood because making a house out of wood could be quite difficult but it was pretty easy to do. Whereas the third one, the eldest brother was the most hard-working one and decided to make a house out of brick no matter how much time it took because he wanted safety. So when they, when all the houses were complete, a wolf, a hungry wolf came over to their houses to kill them. Firstly, the wolf went over to the youngest son’s house and he blew over the straw house with a half and a puff. The youngest brother was quite lucky to be able to escape and he went over to the second brother’s house that was made of wood. But as it was not quite steady either, the wolf blew it over in the same way. Then both the younger brothers ran over to the brick house of the elder brother and prayed for their life. But the elder brother assured them that the house was quite strong and firm and will save them. The scene happened, the wolf was not able to blow over the house and when he got exhausted, he left the place leaving the piglets safe. The moral of the story was that a person should do hard work as it is the key to success. Laziness kills a person and has disaster written all over it. I love listening to the story and telling it to other people. I hope that I can narrate it to my children and various other people in the future.

I have heard various stories throughout my life, but today I would like to talk about the one that I have the strongest memory of. That would be a story told to me by my fifth-grade teacher. I remember that story clearly because it was a very fun and exhilarating experience. The story is pretty common and is mostly heard by everyone. The story's name is The Three Little Pigs. It's about how, once upon a time, three little pigs left their nests to build a life on their own. When they came across an open piece of land, they decided to build their own homes. The youngest one, being the laziest, decided to make a straw house because it was easier to construct. The second one decided to make a house out of wood because building a house out of wood could be quite difficult, but it was relatively easy to do. The third one, the eldest brother, was the most hard-working and decided to make a house out of brick, no matter how much time it took, because he wanted safety. So when all the houses were complete, a hungry wolf came over to their houses to attack them. Firstly, the wolf went to the youngest pig's house and blew down the straw house with a huff and a puff. The youngest brother was quite lucky to escape and ran over to the second brother's house, which was made of wood. But as it was not very sturdy either, the wolf blew it down in the same way. Then both younger brothers ran to the brick house of the elder brother and prayed for their lives. The elder brother assured them that the house was strong and firm and would protect them. The scene unfolded, and the wolf was unable to blow down the house. When he got exhausted, he left the place, leaving the piglets safe. The moral of the story was that hard work is the key to success. Laziness can lead to disaster. I love listening to the story and telling it to others. I hope that I can narrate it to my children and various other people in the future.
