I choose this story because it was my first stories i read myself.I like how smart and patient the oldest brother pig is and he proved he brothers wrong.I like how the author James Halliwell-Phillipps hides a lot of meaningful quotes in this story such as action speaks louder then words this quote was hid in the part where the first and second brother said that they want to live a long life but they decided to build fragile house.It was very difficult to write a summary with only 120 words this story has a lot to offer you.You should experience what this story has to offer.You may think this story is for kids,but your wrong it's for all ages i would recommend this story to all my friends and family.
In my opinion i think the first and second brother are hypocrite because they told their mother they wold live a safe and smart life but they build a fragile house so they could have more time to play but in the opposite their biggest brother kept the promise that he me with his mom that he will not let her down and i see this action as a very loyal and grateful life.Lets talk about the author who wrote this excellent storie,his name is James Halliwell-Phillipps he was an English Shakespearean scholar, antiquarian, and a collector of English nursery rhymes and fairy tales and wrote 51 books.

In the versions of this story that I remember from my childhood, the wolf did not give up and did not "walk away" at the end of the story. In fact, now that I think about it, the wolf worked very hard and consistently to achieve his goal, which was a tasty pork dinner, or perhaps lunch, with some bacon left over for breakfast. The greedy little pigs refused to become bacon, which forced the hungry wolf to more extreme measures, including jumping down the chimney in the end, with disastrous results for him.
ReplyDeletePerhaps what this wicked story really teaches is that hard work is often punished so it's better to be do nothing and be hungry. But I'm not sure that that is a very good lesson to be teaching children.
Like Peter said, the version of the story I heard was that in the end of story that the wolf did not give up, but climbed to the roof and jumped down the chimney caused himself a disaster.
ReplyDeleteBut still, what this story wanted to tell children might still be the same one which is hard working will not betray you in the end and it is a good lesson for children. Therefore, I will go and recommend this story to my sister to teach her son with this story as a bed-time-story.
Thank you Aom for the thoughtful response. I like the idea that it teaches us that hard work makes a more solid foundation for success. The same is, of course, true in our class: if you want to do well in IELTS, an approach that follows the tips from previous test takers by both practising the sort of exercises in the test and also strengthening your command of English is most likely to lead to success.
