'A concise English synopsis might read: Three little pigs each build houses—one of straw, one of sticks, and one of bricks. A big bad wolf comes and blows down the first two houses, but cannot blow down the brick house. The two frightened pigs take refuge with their industrious brother, and the wolf's plans are ultimately foiled. The tale teaches the value of preparation and hard work.' ผมมองว่าการเลือกคำแบบนี้ช่วยรักษาจังหวะนิทานดั้งเดิมไว้ ถ้าอยากจะขยายเป็นบทเล่าเรื่องสำหรับเด็กเล็กก็แค่เติมเสียงและการกระทำ เช่น เสียงลม เสียงวูบ ก็ทำให้เรื่องมีชีวิตขึ้นมาได้ทันที
'The Three Little Pigs' tells the simple tale of three pig siblings who each build a house to protect themselves from a hungry wolf. The first pig builds a house of straw, the second uses sticks, and the third works hard to build a sturdy brick house. When the wolf comes, he easily blows down the straw and stick houses, forcing those two pigs to run to their brother's brick house for safety. The wolf then tries to blow the brick house down but fails; in many versions he either gives up or is cleverly outwitted—sometimes being scared away, sometimes tumbling down a chimney and meeting a comic defeat. The story contrasts short-term laziness with long-term effort and often ends on a light, reassuring note suitable for young listeners.
