Written by three little pigs and a gray wolf. Three Little Pigs (The Tale of Three Little Pigs). Sergey MikhalkovThree little pigs according to an English fairy tale

Once upon a time there were three little pigs. Three brothers. All of the same height, round, pink, with the same cheerful tails. Even their names were similar. The names of the pigs were: Nif-Nif, Nuf-Nuf and Naf-Naf.

All summer the pigs tumbled in the green grass, basked in the sun, basked in the puddles. But then autumn has come.

“It's time for us to think about winter,” Naf-Naf once said to his brothers, waking up early in the morning. - I'm all shivering from the cold. Let's build a house and spend the winter together under one warm roof.

But his brothers did not want to take the job.

- You will succeed! Winter is still far away. We will take a walk, - said Nif-Nif and rolled over his head.

- When necessary, I will build myself a house, - said Nuf-Nuf and lay down in a puddle.

- Well, as you wish. Then I will be the only one to build a house for myself, - said Naf-Naf.

Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf were in no hurry. All they did was play their pig games, jump and tumble.

“We’ll take a walk today,” they said, “and tomorrow morning we’ll get down to business.”

But the next day they said the same thing.

It got colder and colder every day. And only when a large puddle by the road began to be covered with a thin crust of ice in the morning, the lazy brothers finally got down to work.

Nif-Nif decided that it was easier and more likely to make a house out of straw. Without consulting anyone, he did so. By evening, his hut was ready. Nif-Nif put the last straw on the roof and, very pleased with his little house, sang merrily:

You can go around half the world
You will bypass, you will bypass,
You can't find a better home
You will not find, you will not find!

Singing this song, he went to Nuf-Nuf. Nuf-Nuf was also building a house for himself nearby. He tried to end this boring and uninteresting business as soon as possible. At first, just like his brother, he wanted to build himself a house of straw. But then I decided that it would be very cold in such a house in winter. The house will be stronger and warmer if it is built with branches and thin rods. And so he did. He drove stakes into the ground, intertwined them with twigs, piled dry leaves on the roof, and by evening the house was ready. Nuf-Nuf proudly walked around him several times and sang:

I have a nice home
New home, solid home
I'm not afraid of rain and thunder
Rain and thunder, rain and thunder!

Before he had time to finish the song, Nif-Nif ran out from behind a bush.

- Well, your house is ready! - said Nif-Nif to his brother. - I said that we will quickly deal with this case! Now we are free and can do whatever we want!

- Let's go to Naf-Naf and see what kind of house he built for himself! - said Nuf-Nuf. - Something we have not seen for a long time!

- Let's go and see! - agreed Nif-Nif.

Naf-Naf has been busy building for several days. He brought stones, mixed clay, and now he was slowly building himself a reliable, durable house in which he could hide from the wind, rain and frost. He made a heavy oak door with a bolt in the house so that a wolf from a nearby forest could not climb up to it.

Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf found my brother at work.

- The pig's house must be a fortress! - Naf-Naf answered them calmly, continuing to work.

- Are you going to fight with someone? - cheerfully grunt Nif-Nif and winked at Nuf-Nuf. And both brothers were so amused that their squeals and grunts echoed far across the lawn. And Naf-Naf, as if nothing had happened, continued to lay the stone wall of his house, purring a song under his breath:

No beast in the world
Will not burst through this door

Will not burst through this door!

I, of course, are smarter than everyone,
All smarter, smarter than all!
I build a house of stones
From stones, from stones!

- What kind of animal is he talking about? - asked Nif-Nif at Nuf-Nuf.

- What animal are you talking about? - asked Nuf-Nuf to Naf-Naf.

- This is me about the wolf! - answered Naf-Naf and laid another stone.

- Look how he is afraid of the wolf! - said Nif-Nif.

- What kind of wolves can there be? - said Nif-Nif.

And they both began to dance and sing:

We are not afraid of the gray wolf,
Gray wolf, gray wolf!
Where do you go, stupid wolf,
Old wolf, dire wolf?

They wanted to tease Naf-Naf, but he did not even turn around.

- Let's go, Nuf-Nuf, - said then Nif-Nif. - We have nothing to do here!

And the two brave brothers went for a walk. On the way, they sang and danced, and when they entered the forest, they made such a noise that they woke up the wolf who was sleeping under the pine tree.

- What's that noise? - the angry and hungry wolf grumbled with displeasure and galloped to the place from where the screeching and grunting of two small, stupid pigs could be heard.

- Well, what wolves there can be! - said at this time Nif-Nif, who saw wolves only in pictures.

- Here we grab his nose, he will know! - added Nuf-Nuf, who also never saw a live wolf.

- We'll knock down, and even tie, and even with our feet like this, like this! - boasted Nif-Nif.

And suddenly they saw a real living wolf! He was standing behind a large tree, and he had such a terrible look, such evil eyes and such a toothy mouth that a chill ran down the backs of Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf and their thin tails trembled finely. The poor piglets could not even move with fear.

The wolf prepared to jump, snapped his teeth, blinked his right eye, but the pigs suddenly came to their senses and, screeching across the forest, rushed to their heels. They have never had to run so fast! Flashing with their heels and raising clouds of dust, they rushed each to his own house.

Nif-Nif was the first to run to his thatched hut and barely had time to slam the door in front of the wolf's very nose.

- Now open the door! The wolf growled. - Otherwise I'll break it!

- No, - grunt Nif-Nif, - I will not open!

The breath of a terrible beast could be heard outside the door.

- Now open the door! The wolf growled again. - Otherwise, I'll blow it so that your whole house will scatter!

But Nif-Nif, out of fear, could no longer answer.

Then the wolf began to blow: "F-f-f-oo-oo-oo!" Straws flew from the roof of the house, the walls of the house shook. The wolf took another deep breath and blew for the second time: "F-f-f-oo-oo-oo!". When the wolf blew for the third time, the house flew in all directions, as if a hurricane had hit it. The wolf snapped its teeth in front of the little piglet's snout, but Nif-Nif deftly dodged and started to run. A minute later he was already at the door of Nuf-Nuf.

The brothers barely had time to lock themselves up when they heard the voice of the wolf:

- Well, now I will eat you both!

Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf looked frightened at each other. But the wolf was very tired and therefore decided to go for a trick.

- I changed my mind! - he said so loudly that he could be heard in the house. - I will not eat these skinny pigs! I'll go home!

- You heard? - asked Nif-Nif at Nuf-Nuf. - He said he won't eat us! We're skinny!

- It is very good! - said Nuf-Nuf and immediately stopped trembling.

The brothers became happy, and they sang as if nothing had happened:

We are not afraid of the gray wolf,
Gray wolf, gray wolf!
Where do you go, stupid wolf,
Old wolf, dire wolf?

And the wolf did not even think to leave. He just stepped aside and hid. He could hardly restrain himself so as not to burst out laughing.

- How cleverly I have deceived two stupid little pigs!

When the piglets had completely calmed down, the wolf took a sheep's skin and carefully crept up to the house. At the door, he covered himself with a skin and knocked softly.

Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf were very scared.

- Who's there? They asked, and their tails began to shake again.

- It's me, poor little lamb! - the wolf squeaked in a thin, strange voice. - Let me spend the night, I strayed from the herd and was very, very tired!

- You can let the sheep go! - agreed Nuf-Nuf. - The sheep is not a wolf!

But when the piglets opened the door, they saw not a lamb, but the same toothy wolf. The brothers slammed the door and leaned on it with all their might so that the terrible beast could not break into them.

The wolf got very angry. He did not manage to outwit the piglets! He threw off his sheep's clothing and growled:

- Well, wait a minute! Nothing will be left of this house now!

And he began to blow. The house is slightly askew. The wolf blew a second, then a third, then a fourth time. Leaves flew from the roof, the walls shook, but the house was still standing. And, only when the wolf blew for the fifth time, the house staggered and collapsed. The door alone stood for some time in the midst of the ruins. In horror, the piglets rushed to run. Their legs were taken away from fear, every bristle trembled, their noses were dry. The brothers rushed to the house of Naf-Naf.

The wolf caught up with them in huge leaps. Once he almost grabbed Nif-Nif by the hind leg, but he pulled it back in time and accelerated.

The wolf pressed on too. He was sure that this time the pigs would not run away from him. But he was unlucky again. The piglets quickly rushed past the large apple tree without even hitting it. And the wolf did not have time to turn and ran into an apple tree, which showered him with apples. One hard apple hit him between the eyes. A big bump jumped on the wolf's forehead.

And Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf, neither alive nor dead, ran up to the house of Naf-Naf at that time. The brother let them into the house and quickly bolted the door. The poor pigs were so scared they couldn’t say anything. They silently threw themselves under the bed and hid there.

Naf-Naf immediately guessed that a wolf was chasing them. But he had nothing to fear in his stone house. He quickly bolted the door, sat down on a stool and began to sing:

No beast in the world
Sly beast, terrible beast,
Won't open this door
This door, this door!

But just then there was a knock on the door.

- Open without talking! - came the rough voice of the wolf.

- No matter how it is! And we will not think about it! - answered Naf-Naf in a firm voice.

- Ah well! Well, hold on! Now I will eat all three!

- Try! - answered from behind the door Naf-Naf, without even getting up from his stool. He knew that he and his brothers had nothing to fear in a solid stone house. Then the wolf sucked in as much air and blew as it could! But, no matter how much he blew, not a single even the smallest stone budged. The wolf turned blue from the strain. The house stood like a fortress. Then the wolf began to shake the door. But the door didn't budge either. The wolf began to scratch the walls of the house with its claws out of anger and gnaw the stones from which they were made, but he only broke off his claws and ruined his teeth. The hungry and angry wolf had no choice but to get away.

But then he raised his head and suddenly noticed a large, wide chimney on the roof.

- Aha! It’s through this pipe that I’ll make my way into the house! - the wolf was delighted.

He carefully climbed onto the roof and listened. The house was quiet. I'll still have a fresh piglet today! - thought the wolf and, licking his lips, climbed into the pipe.

But, as soon as he began to go down the pipe, the pigs heard a rustle. And when soot began to pour on the roof of the boiler, the clever Naf-Naf immediately guessed what was the matter. He quickly rushed to the cauldron, in which water was boiling on the fire, and tore off the lid from it.

- Welcome! - said Naf-Naf and winked at his brothers.

The piglets didn't have to wait long. Black as a chimney sweep, the wolf flung himself into the cauldron. His eyes bulged out onto his forehead, all his fur stood on end. With a wild roar, the scalded wolf flew back to the roof, rolled down it to the ground, rolled four times over its head, and rushed into the forest.

And three brothers, three little pigs, looked after him and were glad that they had so cleverly taught the evil robber a lesson.

No beast in the world
Won't open this door
Sly, scary, scary beast,
Will not open this door!

You can go around half the world
You will bypass, you will bypass,
You can't find a better home
You will not find, you will not find!

The wolf from the forest never
Never never
Will not come back to us here,
To us here, to us here!

From that time on, the brothers began to live together, under one roof.

Oh, this one fairy tale three little pigs! Coming from English folklore, she conquered the children's hearts of all generations: we are interested to know how hard work and ingenuity overcome laziness and stupidity! Our tale is about how the intelligent Naf-Naf was able to resist a strong and evil wolf, and his piglet brothers realized that work and friendship help to get out of dangerous stories.

Once upon a time there were three little pigs. Three brothers. All of the same height, round, pink, with the same cheerful tails.

Even their names were similar. The names of the pigs were: Nif-Nif, Nuf-Nuf and Naf-Naf.

All summer they tumbled in the green grass, basked in the sun, basked in the puddles.

But then autumn has come.

The sun was no longer so hot, gray clouds stretched over the yellowed forest.

It's time for us to think about winter, ”Naf-Naf once said to his brothers, waking up early in the morning. - I'm all shivering from the cold. We might catch a cold. Let's build a house and spend the winter together under one warm roof.

But his brothers were reluctant to take the job. It is much more pleasant to walk and jump in the meadow on the last warm days than to dig the ground and carry stones.

Will succeed! Winter is still far away. We will take a walk, - said Nif-Nif and rolled over his head.

When necessary, I will build myself a house, - said Nuf-Nuf and lay down in a puddle.

Well, as you wish. Then I will be the only one to build a house for myself, - said Naf-Naf. “I won't wait for you.

It got colder and colder every day. But Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf were in no hurry. They didn't even want to think about work. They lounged from morning to evening. All they did was play their pig games, jump and tumble.

Today we will take a walk, - they said, - and tomorrow morning we will get down to business.

But the next day they said the same thing.

And only when a large puddle by the road began to be covered with a thin crust of ice in the morning, the lazy brothers finally got down to work.

Nif-Nif decided that it was easier and more likely to make a house out of straw. Without consulting anyone, he did so. By evening, his hut was ready.

Nif-Nif put the last straw on the roof and, very pleased with his home, sang merrily:

You can go around half the world
You will bypass, you will bypass,
You can't find a better home
You will not find, you will not find!

Singing this song, he went to Nuf-Nuf.

Nuf-Nuf was also building a house for himself nearby.

He tried to end this boring and uninteresting business as soon as possible. At first, just like his brother, he wanted to build himself a house of straw. But then I decided that it would be very cold in such a house in winter. The house will be stronger and warmer if it is built with branches and thin rods. And so he did.

And both brothers, very pleased that they didn’t have to worry about anything, hid behind the bushes.

Into this door, this door!

What animal is he talking about? - asked Nif-Nif at Nuf-Nuf.

What animal are you talking about? - asked Nuf-Nuf to Naf-Naf.

This is me about the wolf! - answered Naf-Naf and laid another stone.

Look how afraid he is of the wolf! - said Nif-Nif.

What kind of wolves can there be? - said Nif-Nif.

We are not afraid of the gray wolf,
Gray wolf, gray wolf!
Where do you go, stupid wolf,
Old wolf, dire wolf?

They wanted to tease Naf-Naf, but he did not even turn around.

And the brothers again cheered up and sang:

And suddenly they saw a real living wolf!

No, - grunt Nif-Nif, - I will not open!

I changed my mind! - he said so loudly that he could be heard in the house. - I will not eat these skinny pigs! I'd rather go home!

You heard? - asked Nif-Nif at Nuf-Nuf. - He said he won't eat us! We are skinny!

It is very good! - said Nuf-Nuf and immediately stopped trembling.

The brothers became very cheerful, and they sang as if nothing had happened:

We are not afraid of the gray wolf,
Gray wolf, gray wolf!
Where do you go, stupid wolf,
Old wolf, dire wolf?

And the wolf did not even think to leave. He just stepped aside and hid. He was very funny. He could hardly restrain himself so as not to burst out laughing. How cleverly he tricked two stupid little pigs!

When the piglets had completely calmed down, the wolf took a sheep's skin and carefully crept up to the house. At the door, he covered himself with a skin and knocked softly.

Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf were very scared.

Who's there? they asked, and their tails began to shake again.

It's me-me-me, poor little lamb! - the wolf squeaked in a thin, strange voice. - Let me spend the night, I strayed from the herd and was very tired!

Start up? - the kind Nif-Nif asked the brother.

You can let the sheep go! - agreed Nuf-Nuf. - A sheep is not a wolf!

But when the piglets opened the door, they saw not a lamb, but the same toothy wolf. The brothers slammed the door and leaned on it with all their might so that the terrible beast could not break into them.

The wolf got very angry. He did not manage to outwit the piglets. He threw off his sheep's clothing and growled:

Welcome! - said Naf-Naf and winked at his brothers; Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf had already completely calmed down, and, smiling happily, looked at their smart and brave brother.

The piglets didn't have to wait long.

Black, like a chimney sweep, the wolf flung himself into the boiling water.

His eyes bulged out onto his forehead, all his fur stood on end.

With a wild roar, the scalded wolf flew into the chimney back to the roof, rolled down it to the ground, rolled over its head four times, rode on its tail past the locked door and rushed into the forest.

And three brothers, three little pigs, looked after him and were glad that they had so cleverly taught the evil robber a lesson.

And then they sang their merry song:

You can go around half the world
You will bypass, you will bypass,
You can't find a better home
You will not find, you will not find!
No beast in the world
Sly beast, terrible beast,
Won't open this door
This door, this door!
The wolf from the forest never
Never never,
Will not come back to us here,
To us here, to us here!

From that time on, the brothers began to live together under one roof.

That's all we know about the three little pigs - Nif-Nifa, Nuf-Nufa and Naf-Nafa.

Careless Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf were having fun and fooling around, singing a song: "Where are you walking, terrible wolf", and at this time Naf-Naf was building a strong house for himself. When autumn came, two piglets built themselves huts from dry grass and twigs, hoping to hide in them from the cold and dangerous forest predators. The Tale of the Three Little Pigs will help you to remember your childhood: she was your favorite fairy tale; show expression and lively feelings! You will see how the little eyes of children will sparkle with surprise and expectation of a happy ending! After all, I really want the little slobs, two brothers-pigs, to find reliable protection and be saved.

Three little pigs (fairy tale)

Once upon a time there were three little pigs. Three brothers.
All of the same height, round, pink, with the same cheerful tails. Even their names were similar. The names of the pigs were: Nif-Nif, Nuf-Nuf and Naf-Naf.

All summer they tumbled in the green grass, basked in the sun, basked in the puddles.
But then autumn has come.
The sun was no longer so hot, gray clouds stretched over the yellowed forest.

It's time for us to think about winter, ”Naf-Naf once said to his brothers, waking up early in the morning. - I'm all shivering from the cold. We might catch a cold. Let's build a house and spend the winter together under one warm roof.
But his brothers were reluctant to take the job. It is much more pleasant to walk and jump in the meadow on the last warm days than to dig the ground and carry heavy stones.
- You will succeed! Winter is still far away. We will take a walk, - said Nif-Nif and rolled over his head.
- When necessary, I will build myself a house, - said Nuf-Nuf and lay down in a puddle.
- Me too, - added Nif-Nif.
- Well, as you wish. Then I will be the only one to build a house for myself, - said Naf-Naf. “I won't wait for you.
It got colder and colder every day. But Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf were in no hurry. They didn't even want to think about work. They lounged from morning to evening. All they did was play their pig games, jump and tumble.
“We’ll take a walk today,” they said, “and tomorrow morning we’ll get down to business.”
But the next day they said the same thing.
And only when a large puddle by the road began to be covered with a thin crust of ice in the morning, the lazy brothers finally got down to work.

Nif-Nif decided that it was easier and more likely to make a house out of straw. Without consulting anyone, he did so. By evening, his hut was ready.
Nif-Nif put the last straw on the roof and, very pleased with his little house, sang merrily:
You can go around half the world
You will bypass, you will bypass,
You can't find a better home
You will not find, you will not find!
Singing this song, he went to Nuf-Nuf.
Nuf-Nuf was also building a house for himself nearby. He tried to end this boring and uninteresting business as soon as possible. At first, just like his brother, he wanted to build himself a house of straw. But then I decided that it would be very cold in such a house in winter. The house will be stronger and warmer if it is built with branches and thin rods.
And so he did.

He drove stakes into the ground, intertwined them with twigs, piled dry leaves on the roof, and by evening the house was ready.
Nuf-Nuf proudly walked around him several times and sang:
I have a nice home
New home, solid home
I'm not afraid of rain and thunder
Rain and thunder, rain and thunder!
Before he had time to finish the song, Nif-Nif ran out from behind a bush.
- Well, your house is ready! - said Nif-Nif to his brother. - I said that we will quickly deal with this case! Now we are free and can do whatever we want!
- Let's go to Naf-Naf and see what kind of house he built for himself! - said Nuf-Nuf. - Something we have not seen for a long time!
- Let's go and see! - agreed Nif-Nif.

And both brothers, very pleased that they didn’t have to worry about anything else, hid behind the bushes.
Naf-Naf has been busy building for several days. He brought in stones, mixed clay, and now he was slowly building himself a reliable, durable house in which he could hide from the wind, rain and frost.
He made a heavy oak door with a bolt in the house so that a wolf from a nearby forest could not climb up to it.
Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf found my brother at work.

What are you building? - surprised Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf shouted in one voice. - What is this, a house for a pig or a fortress?
- The pig's house must be a fortress! - Naf-Naf answered them calmly, continuing to work.
- Are you going to fight with someone? - cheerfully grunt Nif-Nif and winked at Nuf-Nuf.
And both brothers were so amused that their squeals and grunts echoed far across the lawn.
And Naf-Naf, as if nothing had happened, continued to lay the stone wall of his house, purring a song under his breath:
I, of course, are smarter than everyone,
All smarter, smarter than all!
I build a house of stones
From stones, from stones!
No beast in the world
Sly beast, terrible beast,
Will not burst through this door
Into this door, this door!
- What kind of animal is he talking about? - asked Nif-Nif at Nuf-Nuf.
- What animal are you talking about? - asked Nuf-Nuf to Naf-Naf.
- This is me about the wolf! - answered Naf-Naf and laid another stone.
- Look how he is afraid of the wolf! - said Nif-Nif.
“He’s afraid of being eaten!” - added Nuf-Nuf.
And the brothers were even more amused.
- What kind of wolves can there be? - said Nif-Nif.
- There are no wolves! He's just a coward! - added Nuf-Nuf.
And they both began to dance and sing:
We are not afraid of the gray wolf,
Gray wolf, gray wolf!
Where do you go, stupid wolf,
Old wolf, dire wolf?

The Tale of Three Little Pigs - translation by S.V. Mikhalkova

Once upon a time there were three little pigs. Three brothers.
All of the same height, round, pink, with the same cheerful tails. Even their names were similar. The names of the pigs were: Nif-Nif, Nuf-Nuf and Naf-Naf.
All summer they tumbled in the green grass, basked in the sun, basked in the puddles.
But then autumn has come.
The sun was no longer so hot, gray clouds stretched over the yellowed forest.
“It's time for us to think about winter,” Naf-Naf once said to his brothers, waking up early in the morning. - I'm all shivering from the cold. We might catch a cold. Let's build a house and spend the winter together under one warm roof.
But his brothers were reluctant to take the job. It is much more pleasant to walk and jump in the meadow on the last warm days than to dig the ground and carry heavy stones.
- You will succeed! Winter is still far away. We will take a walk, - said Nif-Nif and rolled over his head.
- When necessary, I will build myself a house, - said Nuf-Nuf and lay down in a puddle.
- Me too, - added Nif-Nif.
- Well, as you wish. Then I will be the only one to build a house for myself, - said Naf-Naf. “I won't wait for you.
It got colder and colder every day. But Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf were in no hurry. They didn't even want to think about work. They lounged from morning to evening. All they did was play their pig games, jump and tumble.
“We’ll take a walk today,” they said, “and tomorrow morning we’ll get down to business.”
But the next day they said the same thing.
And only when a large puddle by the road began to be covered with a thin crust of ice in the morning, the lazy brothers finally got down to work.
Nif-Nif decided that it was easier and more likely to make a house out of straw. Without consulting anyone, he did so. By evening, his hut was ready.
Nif-Nif put the last straw on the roof and, very pleased with his little house, sang merrily:
You can go around half the world
You will bypass, you will bypass,
You can't find a better home
You will not find, you will not find!
Singing this song, he went to Nuf-Nuf.
Nuf-Nuf was also building a house for himself nearby. He tried to end this boring and uninteresting business as soon as possible. At first, just like his brother, he wanted to build himself a house of straw. But then I decided that it would be very cold in such a house in winter. The house will be stronger and warmer if it is built with branches and thin rods.
And so he did.
He drove stakes into the ground, intertwined them with twigs, piled dry leaves on the roof, and by evening the house was ready.
Nuf-Nuf proudly walked around him several times and sang:
I have a nice home
New home, solid home
I'm not afraid of rain and thunder
Rain and thunder, rain and thunder!
Before he had time to finish the song, Nif-Nif ran out from behind a bush.
- Well, your house is ready! - said Nif-Nif to his brother. - I said that we will quickly deal with this case! Now we are free and can do whatever we want!
- Let's go to Naf-Naf and see what kind of house he built for himself! - said Nuf-Nuf. - Something we have not seen for a long time!
- Let's go and see! - agreed Nif-Nif.
And both brothers, very pleased that they didn’t have to worry about anything else, hid behind the bushes.
Naf-Naf has been busy building for several days. He brought in stones, mixed clay, and now he was slowly building himself a reliable, durable house in which he could hide from the wind, rain and frost.
He made a heavy oak door with a bolt in the house so that a wolf from a nearby forest could not climb up to it.
Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf found my brother at work.
- What are you building? - surprised Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf shouted in one voice. - What is this, a house for a pig or a fortress?
- The pig's house must be a fortress! - Naf-Naf answered them calmly, continuing to work.
- Are you going to fight with someone? - cheerfully grunt Nif-Nif and winked at Nuf-Nuf.
And both brothers were so amused that their squeals and grunts echoed far across the lawn.
And Naf-Naf, as if nothing had happened, continued to lay the stone wall of his house, purring a song under his breath:
I, of course, are smarter than everyone,
All smarter, smarter than all!
I build a house of stones
From stones, from stones!
No beast in the world

Will not burst through this door
Into this door, this door!
- What kind of animal is he talking about? - asked Nif-Nif at Nuf-Nuf.
- What animal are you talking about? - asked Nuf-Nuf to Naf-Naf.
- This is me about the wolf! - answered Naf-Naf and laid another stone.
- Look how he is afraid of the wolf! - said Nif-Nif.
“He’s afraid of being eaten!” - added Nuf-Nuf.
And the brothers were even more amused.
- What kind of wolves can there be? - said Nif-Nif.
- There are no wolves! He's just a coward! - added Nuf-Nuf.
And they both began to dance and sing:
We are not afraid of the gray wolf,
Gray wolf, gray wolf!
Where do you go, stupid wolf,
Old wolf, dire wolf?
They wanted to tease Naf-Naf, but he did not even turn around.
- Let's go, Nuf-Nuf, - said then Nif-Nif. - We have nothing to do here!
And the two brave brothers went for a walk. On the way, they sang and danced, and when they entered the forest, they made such a noise that they woke up the wolf who was sleeping under the pine tree.
- What's that noise? - the angry and hungry wolf grumbled with displeasure and galloped to the place from where the screeching and grunting of two small, stupid pigs could be heard.
- Well, what wolves there can be! - said at this time Nif-Nif, who saw wolves only in pictures.
- Here we grab him by the nose, he will know! - added Nuf-Nuf, who also never saw a live wolf.
And the brothers again cheered up and sang:

We are not afraid of the gray wolf,
Gray wolf, gray wolf!
Where do you go, stupid wolf,
Old wolf, dire wolf?
And suddenly they saw a real living wolf!

He was standing behind a large tree, and he had such a terrible look, such evil eyes and such a toothy mouth that a chill ran down the backs of Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf and their thin tails trembled finely. The poor piglets could not even move with fear.
The wolf prepared to jump, snapped his teeth, blinked his right eye, but the pigs suddenly came to their senses and, screeching across the forest, rushed to their heels. They have never had to run so fast! Flashing heels and raising clouds of dust, each of the pigs rushed to their home.
Nif-Nif was the first to run to his thatched hut and barely had time to slam the door in front of the wolf's very nose.
- Now open the door! the wolf growled. - Otherwise I'll break it!
- No, - grunt Nif-Nif, - I will not open!
The breath of a terrible beast could be heard outside the door.
- Now open the door! the wolf growled again. - Otherwise, I'll blow it so that your whole house will scatter!
But Nif-Nif, out of fear, could no longer answer.
Then the wolf began to blow: "F-f-f-oo-oo-oo-oo!".
Straws flew from the roof of the house, the walls of the house shook.
The wolf took another deep breath and blew for the second time: "F-f-f-oo-oo-oo!". When the wolf blew for the third time, the house flew in all directions, as if a hurricane had hit it. The wolf snapped its teeth in front of the little piglet's snout. But Nif-Nif deftly dodged and started to run. A minute later he was already at the door of Nuf-Nuf.
The brothers barely had time to lock themselves up when they heard the voice of the wolf:
- Well, now I will eat you both!
Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf looked frightened at each other. But the wolf was very tired and therefore decided to go for a trick.
- I changed my mind! - he said so loudly that he could be heard in the house. - I will not eat these skinny pigs! I'd rather go home!
- You heard? - asked Nif-Nif at Nuf-Nuf. - He said he won't eat us! We're skinny!
- It is very good! - said Nuf-Nuf and immediately stopped trembling.
The brothers became happy, and they sang as if nothing had happened:
We are not afraid of the gray wolf,
Gray wolf, gray wolf!
Where do you go, stupid wolf,
Old wolf, dire wolf?
And the wolf did not even think to go anywhere. He just stepped aside and hid. He was very funny. He could hardly restrain himself so as not to burst out laughing. How cleverly he tricked two stupid little pigs!
When the piglets had completely calmed down, the wolf took a sheep's skin and carefully crept up to the house. At the door, he covered himself with a skin and knocked softly.
Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf were very scared when they heard a knock.
- Who's there? they asked, and their tails began to shake again.
- It's me-me-me - poor little lamb! - the wolf squeaked in a thin, strange voice. - Let me spend the night, I strayed from the herd and was very tired!
- Start up? - the kind Nif-Nif asked the brother.
- You can let the sheep go! - agreed Nuf-Nuf. - The sheep is not a wolf!
But when the piglets opened the door, they saw not a lamb, but the same toothy wolf. The brothers slammed the door and leaned on it with all their might so that the terrible beast could not break into them.
The wolf got very angry. He did not manage to outwit the piglets! He threw off his sheep's clothing and growled:
- Well, wait a minute! Nothing will be left of this house now!
And he began to blow. The house is slightly askew. The wolf blew a second, then a third, then a fourth time.
Leaves flew from the roof, the walls shook, but the house was still standing.
And only when the wolf blew for the fifth time, the house staggered and fell apart. The door alone stood for some time in the midst of the ruins.
In horror, the piglets rushed to run. Their legs were taken away from fear, every bristle trembled, their noses were dry. The brothers rushed to the house of Naf-Naf.
The wolf caught up with them in huge leaps.
Once he almost grabbed Nif-Nif by the hind leg, but he pulled it back in time and accelerated.
The wolf pressed on too. He was sure that this time the pigs would not run away from him.
But he was unlucky again.
The piglets quickly rushed past the large apple tree without even hitting it. And the wolf did not have time to turn and ran into an apple tree, which showered him with apples.
One hard apple hit him between the eyes. A big bump jumped on the wolf's forehead.
And Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf, neither alive nor dead, ran up to the house of Naf-Naf at that time.
The brother quickly let them into the house. The poor pigs were so scared they couldn’t say anything. They silently threw themselves under the bed and hid there. Naf-Naf immediately guessed that a wolf was chasing them. But he had nothing to fear in his stone house. He quickly bolted the door, sat down on a stool himself and began to sing loudly:
No beast in the world
Sly beast, terrible beast,
Won't open this door
This door, this door!
But just then there was a knock on the door.
- Who's knocking? - Naf-Naf asked in a calm voice.
- Open without talking! - came the rough voice of the wolf.
- No matter how it is! And I won't think about it! - answered Naf-Naf in a firm voice.
- Ah well! Well, hold on! Now I will eat all three!
- Try! - answered from behind the door Naf-Naf, without even getting up from his stool. He knew that he and his brothers had nothing to fear in a solid stone house.
Then the wolf sucked in as much air and blew as it could! But, no matter how much he blew, not a single even the smallest stone budged.
The wolf turned blue from the strain.
The house stood like a fortress. Then the wolf began to shake the door. But the door didn't budge either.
The wolf began to scratch the walls of the house with its claws out of anger and gnaw the stones from which they were made, but he only broke off his claws and ruined his teeth. The hungry and angry wolf had no choice but to get away.
But then he raised his head and suddenly noticed a large, wide chimney on the roof.
- Aha! It’s through this pipe that I’ll make my way into the house! - the wolf was delighted.

He carefully climbed onto the roof and listened. The house was quiet.
“I’ll still eat a fresh pig today,” thought the wolf, and, licking his lips, climbed into the pipe.
But, as soon as he began to go down the pipe, the pigs heard a rustle.
And when soot began to pour on the boiler lid, the clever Naf-Naf immediately guessed what was the matter.
He quickly rushed to the cauldron, in which water was boiling on the fire, and tore off the lid from it.
- Welcome! - said Naf-Naf and winked at his brothers.
Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf had already completely calmed down and, smiling happily, looked at their smart and brave brother.
The piglets didn't have to wait long. Black, like a chimney sweep, the wolf flung himself into the boiling water.
Never before had it hurt him so much!
His eyes bulged out onto his forehead, all his fur stood on end.

With a wild roar, the scalded wolf flew into the chimney back to the roof, rolled down it to the ground, rolled four times over its head, rode on its tail past the locked door and rushed into the forest.

And three brothers, three little pigs, looked after him and were glad that they had so cleverly taught the evil robber a lesson.
And then they sang their merry song:
You can go around half the world
You will bypass, you will bypass,
You can't find a better home
You will not find, you will not find!
No beast in the world
Sly beast, terrible beast,
Won't open this door
This door, this door!
The wolf from the forest never
Never never,
Will not come back to us here,
To us here, to us here!
From that time on, the brothers began to live together, under one roof.
That's all we know about the three little pigs - Nif-Nifa, Nuf-Nufa and Naf-Nafa. That's

Sergei Mikhalkov's fairy tale "Three Little Pigs" is a funny story about three piglet brothers who were getting ready for winter. Each piglet had to build a house. In a joking manner, the author tells the kid that you should never be lazy and do the job efficiently. The two brothers basked in the sun all summer and hastily built houses of straw and branches, which quickly collapsed. And the third brother managed to work hard and play on the lawn. He was able to build a strong house, which is not afraid of either winds or frosts. And when a wolf attacked the brothers, a strong house of a hardworking piglet was able to protect them from a terrible beast.

Tale: "Three Little Pigs"

Once upon a time there were three little pigs. Three brothers. All the same height
round, pink, with the same cheerful tails.
Even their names were similar. The pigs were called: Nif-Nif, Nuf-Nuf and
Naf-Naf. All summer they tumbled in the green grass, basked in the sun,
basked in the puddles.

But then autumn has come.
The sun was not so hot anymore, gray clouds stretched over
yellowed forest.
“It's time for us to think about winter,” Naf-Naf once said to his brothers,
waking up early in the morning. - I'm all shivering from the cold. We might catch a cold.
Let's build a house and spend the winter together under one warm roof.
But his brothers were reluctant to take the job. Much nicer in
the last warm days to walk and jump in the meadow than to dig the ground and drag
heavy stones.
- You will succeed! Winter is still far away. We will take a walk, - said Nif-Nif and
rolled over his head.
- When necessary, I will build myself a house, - said Nuf-Nuf and lay down in
puddle.
- Me too, - added Nif-Nif.
- Well, as you wish. Then I will be the only one to build a house for myself, - said Naf-Naf.
“I won't wait for you.

It got colder and colder every day.
But Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf were in no hurry. They didn't even want to think about work.
They lounged from morning to evening. All they did was play their
pig games, jumping and somersaulting.
- Today we will take a walk, - they said, - and tomorrow morning we will take
for the cause.
But the next day they said the same thing.
And only when a large puddle by the road began to cover in the morning
with a thin crust of ice, the lazy brothers finally got down to work.
Nif-Nif decided that it was easier and more likely to make a house out of straw. Not with
without consulting anyone, he did so. By evening, his hut was
ready.
Nif-Nif put the last straw on the roof and, very pleased with his
house, sang merrily:

You can go around half the world
You will bypass, you will bypass,
You can't find a better home
You will not find, you will not find!

Singing this song, he went to Nuf-Nuf.
Nuf-Nuf was also building a house for himself nearby.
He tried to end this boring and uninteresting business as soon as possible.
At first, just like his brother, he wanted to build himself a house of straw. But after
decided that it would be very cold in such a house in winter. The house will be stronger and
warmer if it is built from branches and thin twigs.
And so he did.
He drove stakes into the ground, intertwined them with twigs, piled dry
leaves, and by evening the house was ready.
Nuf-Nuf proudly walked around him several times and sang:

I have a nice home
New home, solid home
I'm not afraid of rain and thunder
Rain and thunder, rain and thunder!

Before he had time to finish the song, Nif-Nif ran out from behind a bush.
- Well, your house is ready! - said Nif-Nif to his brother. - I said that we
and we alone will cope with this matter! Now we are free and we can do whatever
we like it!
- Let's go to Naf-Naf and see what kind of house he built for himself! - said
Nuf-Nuf. - Something we have not seen for a long time!
- Let's go and see! - agreed Nif-Nif.
And both brothers, very pleased that they don't need anything else
take care, hid behind the bushes.
Naf-Naf has been busy building for several days. He trained
stones, mixed clay and now slowly built for himself a reliable, lasting house, in
which could be sheltered from wind, rain and frost.
He made a heavy oak door with a bolt in the house to keep the wolf out of
the neighboring forest could not climb to it.


Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf found my brother at work.
- What are you building? - the surprised Nif-Nif and
Nuf-Nuf. - What is this, a house for a pig or a fortress?
- The pig's house must be a fortress! - Naf-Naf answered them calmly,
continuing to work.
- Are you going to fight with someone? - grunt cheerfully Nif-Nif
and winked at Nuf-Nufu.
And both brothers were so amused that their screeching and grunting echoed far away
across the lawn

And Naf-Naf, as if nothing had happened, continued to lay the stone wall of his
at home, purring a song under his breath:

I, of course, are smarter than everyone,
All smarter, smarter than all!
I build a house of stones
From stones, from stones!
No beast in the world
Will not burst through this door
Into this door, this door!

What animal is he talking about? - asked Nif-Nif at Nuf-Nuf.
- What animal are you talking about? - asked Nuf-Nuf to Naf-Naf.
- This is me about the wolf! - answered Naf-Naf and laid another stone.
- Look how he is afraid of the wolf! - said Nif-Nif.
“He’s afraid of being eaten!” - added Nuf-Nuf.
And the brothers were even more amused.
- What kind of wolves can there be? - said Nif-Nif.
- There are no wolves! He's just a coward! - added Nuf-Nuf.
And they both began to dance and sing:

We are not afraid of the gray wolf,
Gray wolf, gray wolf!
Where do you go, stupid wolf,
Old wolf, dire wolf?

They wanted to tease Naf-Naf, but he did not even turn around.
- Let's go, Nuf-Nuf, - said then Nif-Nif. - We have nothing to do here!
And the two brave brothers went for a walk.
On the way they sang and danced, and when they entered the forest, they made such a noise,
that they woke up the wolf who was sleeping under the pine tree.
- What's that noise? - the angry and hungry wolf grumbled with displeasure and galloped to
the place where the screeching and grunting of two small, stupid
piglets.
- Well, what wolves there can be! - said at this time Nif-Nif,
which the wolves have only seen in pictures.
- Here we grab him by the nose, he will know! - added Nuf-Nuf, who
also never saw a live wolf.
- We'll knock down, and even tie, and even with our feet like this, like this! - bragged
Nif-Nif and showed how they would deal with the wolf.
And the brothers again cheered up and sang:

We are not afraid of the gray wolf,
Gray wolf, gray wolf!
Where do you go, stupid wolf,
Old wolf, dire wolf?

And suddenly they saw a real living wolf!
He was standing behind a large tree, and he had such a terrible look, such
evil eyes and such a toothy mouth that Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf have on their backs
a chill ran and the thin tails trembled finely, finely.


The poor piglets could not even move with fear.
The wolf prepared to jump, snapped his teeth, blinked his right eye, but
the pigs suddenly came to their senses and, screaming at the whole forest, rushed to their heels.
They have never had to run so fast!
Flashing heels and raising clouds of dust, the pigs rushed each to their own
home.
Nif-Nif was the first to reach his thatched hut and barely had time to
slam the door in front of the wolf's nose.
- Now open the door! the wolf growled. - Otherwise I'll break it!
- No, - grunt Nif-Nif, - I will not open!
The breath of a terrible beast could be heard outside the door.
- Now open the door! the wolf growled again. - Otherwise, I'll blow it like that,
that your whole house will fly apart!
But Nif-Nif, out of fear, could no longer answer.
Then the wolf began to blow: "F-f-f-oo-oo-oo-oo!"
Straws flew from the roof of the house, the walls of the house shook.
The wolf took another deep breath and blew for the second time: "F-f-f-oo-oo-oo-oo!"

we are! We're skinny!
- It is very good! - said Nuf-Nuf and immediately stopped trembling.
The brothers became happy, and they sang as if nothing had happened:

Out of anger, the wolf began to scratch the walls of the house with its claws and gnaw stones, from
which they were folded, but he only broke off his claws and ruined his teeth.
The hungry and angry wolf had no choice but to get away.
But then he raised his head and suddenly noticed a large, wide pipe on
roof.
- Aha! It’s through this pipe that I’ll make my way into the house! - the wolf was delighted.
He carefully climbed onto the roof and listened. The house was quiet.
"I will still have a fresh piglet today!" - thought the wolf and,
licking his lips, climbed into the pipe.
But, as soon as he began to go down the pipe, the pigs heard a rustle. A
when soot began to pour on the boiler lid, the clever Naf-Naf immediately guessed that
what's the matter.
He quickly rushed to the cauldron, in which water was boiling on the fire, and tore off
cover it.
- Welcome! - said Naf-Naf and winked at his brothers.
Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf have already completely calmed down and, smiling happily,
looked at their smart and brave brother.
The piglets didn't have to wait long. Black as a chimney sweep wolf
flopped right into the boiling water.
Never before had it hurt him so much!
His eyes bulged out onto his forehead, all his fur stood on end.
With a wild roar, the scalded wolf flew into the chimney back to the roof,
rolled down it to the ground, rolled over four times over his head, rode
on its tail, past the locked door and rushed into the forest.
And three brothers, three little pigs, looked after him and rejoiced,
that they so cleverly taught the evil robber.
And then they sang their merry song:

You can go around half the world
You will bypass, you will bypass,
You can't find a better home
You will not find, you will not find!

No beast in the world
Sly beast, terrible beast,
Won't open this door
This door, this door!

The wolf from the forest never
Never never
Will not come back to us here,
To us here, to us here!

From that time on, the brothers began to live together, under one roof.
That's all we know about the three little pigs - Nif-Nifa, Nuf-Nufa
and Naf-Nafa.
