There were three little pigs: Cicero, Hector and Practical. Each ofthem would make his house to hide from the wolf, which was very bad and likedto eat pigs.
从前有三只小猪,名字分别叫:Cicero, Hector和Practical。他们每一个都要修建一所房子来躲避一只可恶的狼,这只狼喜欢吃小猪。
Very soon, Cicero found all the necessary materials. He said, “Hereis a portion of bamboo, glue and string. With those, I will build a very goodhome!”
很快,Cicero找到了所有所需的材料。他说:“这里有一部分竹子,胶水和绳子。有了这些,我会修建一所非常棒的房子!”
And in an instant the pig Cicero had the house ready. Gleefullybegan to sing:“My house I did, alone and finished, to live in it, happy just likea king!”
不久,Cicero就建好了房子。他快乐地唱着:“住在我一个人修建的房子里面像国王一样!”
The other two pigs continued walking and wanted to make better homes.Hector said, “Hey, little brother! Why do not we stop here? See that greatboards! The wolf cannot take down a house made with them.”
另外两只小猪继续往前走,他们想修建更好的房子。Hector说:“嗨,弟弟!我们要不在这儿停下来吧?看见那些很棒的板子了吗?狼无法摧毁这些板子修建的房子哦!”
Hector felt tired and didn't want to walk further. It did not take himmore than a day to make the house. When he was ready, he sang:“My house I did, alone and finished, to live in it happy, happier than a king!”
Hector觉得很累,不想往前走了。他用了不超过一天的时间就修好了房子。修好以后,他唱着:“住在我一个人修建的房子里面像国王一样!”
Practical had not laziness and worked for four days straight. Butwhen the service ended, the house was solid, made of bricks and cement.
Practical没有偷懒,他连续工作了四天。修好以后,房子很坚固,因为使用砖和混凝土修建的。
One day the wolf passed by there and smelled pig, which was hisfavorite food.
有一天,狼经过他们的家,闻到了小猪的味道,这可是他最喜欢的食物。
There goes: one. . . two. . . three! The first blow already broughtdown the house. Bamboos flew through the air and Cicero went flying too.
“一,二,三!”只吹了一口气,狼就摧毁了房子。竹子飞到空中,Cicero也飞起来!
Afterwards, the wolf destroyed Hector’s house. Cicero and Hector ranto Practical's.
后来,狼又摧毁了Hector的房子。Cicero和Hector跑到了Practical的家。
“One. . . two. . . three. . .”The wolf blew with all the strength hehad. But it was no use: the house did not fall. After a while, he decided toclimb down the chimney to go into the house.
“一,二,三……”狼用尽全身力气。但是没有用,房子没有倒塌。过了一会儿,他决定从烟囱爬进房子。
The three little pigs burned the fireplace immediately!
三只小猪立刻点燃了火炉!
“My tail is burning! Help! Water!” shouted the wolf.
“我的尾巴着火啦!救命!水!
With the fire, the wolf ran. He never returned there. The threebrothers went to work and built a large and beautiful house of brick andcement, for the three living together.
狼燃着火就跑掉了,再也没有回来。三只小猪一起工作,用砖和混凝土修建了一个又大又美丽的房子,一起住在里面。
