  4. Hi my name is Ridwaan this is a summary about the three little pig
    Three little pigs leave home to seek their fortunes. Two pigs build their houses of flimsy materials. The wolf blows down their houses and eats them up. The third pig builds his house out of brick, which the wolf cannot blow down. The wolf then asks the pig to get turnips, pick apples, and go to the fair. Each time the pig goes an hour earlier, tricking the wolf. At the fair, the pig sees the wolf. The pig escapes by rolling home in a butter churn. The wolf comes to the pig's house, climbs onto the roof, and jumps into a pot of boiling water.

  19. My favourite fairy tale is THE THREE LITTLE PIGS because it is funny, especially when the big bad wolf falls into the third little pig’s cooking pot and runs out in a flash. But my real favourite scene is when the third little pig puts up the sign PIGS ARE WELCOME, WOLVES ARE NOT, VISITING WOLVES WILL BE PUT IN THE POT!!
