The three pigs names
The Three Little Pigs
Once upon a time, there were three little pigs, named Peter, Patty and Penny, who left their mommy and daddy to see the world.
All summer long, they roamed through the woods and fields, playing games and having fun. None were happier than the three little pigs, and they easily made friends with everyone they met.
Wherever they went, they were given a warm welcome and never had to worry about where they would sleep. But as summer drew to a close, they realized that people were starting to prepare their homes for winter. The three little pigs decided that they too needed a home of their own to keep them safe and warm through the winter.
Peter, the first little pig, was the oldest of the three. He decided to build a straw hut. "It'll only take a day! Then I'll go have fun and play," he sang enthusiastically.
The others disagreed.
"It's too fragile," they said
disapprovingly, but Peter refused to listen (after all, he WAS the oldest by 3 whole
minutes).
Patty Pig was the second little pig (born 3 minutes after Peter and 4 seconds before Penny). She decided that a house of straw would be too cold during the winter (and that bugs might get in!) So she went off in search of twigs and wood to build her house.
"Clunk! Clunk! Clunk!" It took her two days to nail her house of wood together. Patty finished, looked at her house and thought, "well..., it's a little wobbly and maybe it isn't my VERY best job... But it's supposed to be warm this winter so it should do."
Penny quietly voiced her opinion that the house didn't look sturdy enough to stand up to wind, rain, snow (or bugs). Peter teased that Patty had wasted a whole day searching for wood when she could have been having fun playing with him. Patty turned and sang out, "It only took an extra day. Now I can go have fun and play."
Penny Pig was the youngest of the three and being
the youngest loved to play at least as much as Peter and Patty did.
But she
remembered what her mommy and daddy had taught her growing up.
Her daddy always told her, "we don't expect you to be perfect Penny."
And her mommy always added, "we'll always be proud of you as long as you've done your very best job."
So Penny Pig sighed and thought, "it will take time, patience and hard work to build a safe, warm, comfortable house. I've never done it before and I'm a little nervous, but I'm going to do my very best job!"
Penny went to the library and took out some books about building houses. She spent two whole days reading the books before she decided that a house of bricks would be the best choice.
Penny spent another whole day collecting supplies.
A day to lay the foundation. Another to pour the cement. Yet another to
stack the bricks and four more to put on the roof and paint. Just to make sure that
she'd tried her best, she decided to take a few more days to build some cozy wooden
furniture to put in her house of bricks.
By the time she was done her house, two
weeks had passed and the leaves outside had taken on their autumn colours.
Penny looked at her little house with pride. Sure, the chimney was a little crooked and the paint had dripped a bit here and there, but Penny knew that she'd done her very best job and was quite proud of what she'd accomplished.
Peter, Patty and Penny spent the next day playing. The two older pigs teased Penny that she'd wasted the whole fall building her house (and Peter couldn't resist pointing out that even after all that work, Penny hadn't even managed to get the chimney on straight!) But Penny was happy with the choices she'd made as she sat in front of her cozy fireplace that night.
Peter wasn't nearly as comfortable in his house of
straw. The cold night air crept in quickly. Peter hadn't taken the time to
build a bed so huddled in the corner on a mound of leftover straw. As the sun rose
the next morning, Peter was starting to wish that he'd spent a bit more time on his house.
As he pondered what he was going to use to cook breakfast with, Peter heard a knock
on the door.
"Who's there?" Peter asked... It was awfully early for visitors.
Peter hadn't been the only one wondering about breakfast. A big, bad, hungry wolf had wandered through the forest. He hadn't eaten for awhile and a nice young piggy was just the kind of breakfast he was craving!
"Come out!" ordered the wolf, his mouth watering. "I want to speak to you!"
Peter may have been a bit lazy, but he certainly wasn't dumb. "I'd rather stay where I am," he replied.
"Come out now!" yelled the wolf fiercely.
"Not by the hair on my chin-y chin chin," teased Peter (after all, what could the wolf do about it).
"Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll
bloooooow your house in!" threatened the wolf who blew with all his might,
right onto the house. All the straw that Peter had heaped against some thin poles
fell down in the great blast.
Peter dashed as fast as he could to his sister Patty's house. Patty had heard the commotion. She ran to the door, accidentally squishing a beetle that was sitting by her bed. She bravely brushed the two spiders that had built webs inside the doorframe out of her way and pulled the door open for her brother.
The wolf ran after Peter and shouted "Come out and play with me!" just as the door slammed in his face.
"Not by the hair on our chin-y chin chins," replied Patty (almost as upset about all the bugs she had begun to notice scurrying around her floor as she was about the wolf).
"Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll bloooooow your house in!" yelled the wolf who blew with all his might, right onto the house. The wooden house creaked and squeaked and then collapsed like a pack of cards.
Peter and Patty dashed out and were halfway to
Penny's house before the last twig had hit the ground.
Penny urged them in, took one
last look at the crooked chimney, crossed her fingers and slammed the door.
"Come out here, now! I want my breakfast," growled the wolf, not bothering to pretend anymore.
"Not by the hair on our chin-y chin chins," replied Peter, Patty and Penny (her fingers still crossed tightly).
"Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll bloooooow your house in!" yelled the wolf who blew with all his might, right onto the house.
Nothing happened.
The wolf drew an even deeper breath and blew again. And again! But Penny Pig's house of bricks with the crooked chimney and drippy paint was her very best job and it would NOT fall down no matter how hard the wolf blew.
After all his huffing and puffing the wolf was even hungrier than he'd been to begin with and he was not about to give up. He climbed carefully up a nearby ladder and scrambled onto the roof. Before Peter, Patty and Penny knew what was happening, the wolf started to slide down the chimney!
"Yikes!" cried Peter.
"We're toast!" sobbed Patty.
"Bacon, actually!" wailed Penny.
But slowly the three little pigs realized that the wolf had somehow gotten stuck before he had made it all the way down. Understanding what had happened, Penny started to giggle nervously. "I think he got caught in the crooked part of my chimney!"
Peter nodded with disbelief, jumped up and threw some wood onto the fireplace. Patty grabbed the matches and started a fire which was soon roaring. It didn't take long for the three little pigs to hear the anguished howl of the wolf as he scrambled back up the chimney. The flames licked his hairy coat and his tail became a flaming torch.
"Never again! Never again will I go down a chimney!" he squealed, as he tried to put out the flames in his tail. Then he ran away as fast as he could.
That very same day, Peter and Patty took out
library books on how to build a brick house.
Penny did her best to give them some
instruction and Peter showed his sisters how to put on paint without it getting drippy
(after all, he WAS the oldest by 3 whole minutes).
The wolf did return once to roam in the neighbourhood, but when he caught sight of THREE crooked chimneys, he remembered the terrible pain of a burnt tail and he left for good.
Now safe and happy, Penny sang out to her brother and sister, "No more working for today... Come on let's go out to play!"

Piglet knows him: 13 most popular pigs
1. The Three Little Pigs is an English folk tale about three characters with piglets - Nif-Nif, Nuf-Nuf and Naf-Naf. Sergei Mikhalkov wrote a play based on it. Summary: winter is coming, piglets are building houses. One is made of straw, the other is made of branches. And only the wise Naf-Naf built a stone house, thus becoming the progenitor of modern cottage construction. Both brothers of Naf-Naf took refuge in a solid house, thus giving a stone rebuff to the villain-wolf, who has since sworn off eating pork.
2. Pumbaa is the main character of the popular Disney cartoon The Lion King. Seen in close friendly relations with the mongoose Timon and Sibma himself - the Lion King. The unsurpassed performer of the hit of all times and peoples "Hakuna matata". The song is very close to our compatriots, because the phrase "hakuna matata" translated into Russian from the Swahili language means "no problem!"
3.
Miss Piggy is a character from the famous American puppet series The Muppet Show. First appearing on screens at 19In 1976, Jim Henson's "Muppet Show" became one of the most popular and longest-running entertainment programs in television history. At that time, puppet characters flaunted every week in front of 235 million viewers in more than 100 countries, including the Soviet Union, and then they appeared in other television programs, and even in films. Miss Piggy's friends are Kermit the Frog, Fozzie the Bear, Sam the Eaglet and Rizzo the Rat. And Miss Piggy herself is named one of the most charming pigs in the history of cinema.
4. Pig Funtik - a brave and talented hero of animated films, for four series ("The Elusive Funtik", "Funtik and the detectives", "Funtik and the old woman with a mustache", "Funtik in the circus") running from the insidious owner department store "Tear of a Child" Mrs. Belladonna. The author of the fairy tale about the piglet is the writer V.
Shulzhik, the creators of the animated series are the famous Russian animators Anatoly Solin and Inna Pshenichnaya. The audio tale about the piglet was voiced by such stars as Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, Spartak Mishulin and Olga Aroseva. And the pig itself is so popular that a rare mobile phone does not contain its image, not to mention the famous cartoon songs. Moreover, the name Funtik is clearly the leader among the nicknames of piglets. Catchphrase: "Feed for houses for homeless pigs."
5. Piggy . Megastar of the popular program "Good night, kids!". He is friends with the crow Karkusha, the hare Stepashka and the puppy Fillya. It's hard to believe, but this eternally young pig is already 35 years old. For a long time, Khryusha was voiced by actress Natalya Derzhavina. And now, his age-mate Oksana Chebanyuk, an actress of the Obraztsova Theater, speaks in the voice of a child's favorite. Piggy's comrades were invited to a teleconference with America, to Blue Lights, and even to a holiday in the State Duma.
Now understand who is watching the program "Good night, kids!" Or just the children have grown up, but they cannot forget Piggy. Even Miss Universe Oksana Fedorova became the host of the Good Night, Kids! program in order to be closer to the popular favorite.
6. Khryun Morzhov . The protagonist of the popular program "Extinguish the Lights!" A folk character who, if something happens, can also print with a strong word. Khryun's comrade-in-arms is the hare Stepan Kapusta. Invented in the studio "Pilot TV" (head of the studio - Alexander Tatarsky, producers and scriptwriters of the program "Extinguish the Light!" Rostislav Krivitsky and Vladimir Neklyudov), and the prototypes of Khryun and Stepan - koloboks - were taken by pilots. Behind the scenes, the image of Khryun Morzhov was performed by actor Alexei Kolgan, who, by the way, was born in the year of the Pig. The most famous words of Khryun: "Inspire", "Powerfully pushed", "Here is imanna!" In the days of mad cow disease, Piglet broke into such a joke: "You can't eat meat?" - "It is forbidden".
- "And flour products can be?" - "Can". "Then let's eat cow cakes." Brief description of Khryun: "He loved Arabs and Jews because they did not digest him."
7. Piglet . The character of the famous book by the writer Alain Alexander Milne "Winnie the Pooh and all-all-all". In Russian, the book was skillfully retold by the writer and poet Boris Zakhoder. Winnie the Pooh's best friend, Piglet, has become a household name. According to the book, the Disney studio made a cartoon, but our viewer is closer to another, filmed by director Fyodor Khitruk, in which Winnie the Pooh was voiced by actor Yevgeny Leonov, and Piglet was voiced by actress Iya Savvina. Today the image of Piglet has become a classic, the piglet has become a hero of jokes, and the song "Where are we going with Piglet?" has become almost folklore and is used in all New Year's skits.
8. Piglet Babe . It is to him that the films "Pig Babe" and "Pig in the City", so beloved by children and adults, are dedicated.
The latter was filmed by Australian director George Miller, known to the viewer for his films The Witches of Eastwick and Mad Max. The title song for the film was performed by one of the greatest musicians of our time, Peter Gabriel.
Babe was born by "crossing" 48 live pigs with an animated model. Make-up artists drew eyebrows and bangs for each pig, and the mouth movements were created on a computer. As a result, this funny family picture received absolutely serious Oscars for music and special effects, and at the ceremony it was one of the favorites at all: it was nominated for the Academy Award in 7 nominations, including for director, screenplay and as best film.
9. Piggy bank . The character of Andersen's fairy tale of the same name has long become a kind of symbol. Other toy animals made in the form of piggy banks, frankly, are not so popular. Andersen's heroine, let us recall, was clay stuffed to the brim so that "it didn't even rattle" and the slit on her back was widened with a knife.
She stood on the closet and looked at everything from top to bottom - "after all, she could buy all this, and such a thought will give anyone self-confidence." In the end, given over to thoughts of a will and a funeral, the pig fell from the closet to the floor and shattered, and a new piggy bank took its place.
The image of a piggy bank has sunk into the soul of the public so much that since then such pigs have been created innumerable. Including the latest model - unbreakable cost about 25 euros. She even knows how to count her contents. Each time when another coin falls into the shining body of such a pig, the piggy bank pronounces its denomination and shows the accumulated amount on the liquid crystal indicator.
And the world's largest piggy bank was presented to fellow citizens as a Canada Day gift by the Royal Canadian Mint. The giant pig, which measures 4 meters in height and 5.5 meters in length, is intended to raise charitable funds. The impressive size of the piggy bank was recorded by representatives of the Guinness Book of Records.
10. Veselchak U . Pig from the cartoon "The Secret of the Third Planet", based on the book by Kir Bulychev "Alice's Journey" directed by Roman Kachanov. Both the cartoon and the book tell about the adventures of a little girl Alisa Selezneva, her father, Captain Seleznev, and his friend Captain Zeleny. As well as the good-natured Gromozeki and the Govorun bird, which is distinguished by intelligence and quick wits. As for Veselchak U - this pig is not exactly pleasant, but memorable. Although sometimes behaves like a real pig.
Three Little Pigs - Mikhalkov S. The Tale of the Three Little Pigs.
A fairy tale about three brothers-piglets who built houses for themselves. One brother built a house out of straw, another out of twigs and twigs, and a third out of bricks.
Once upon a time there were three little pigs in the world. Three brothers. All of the same height, round, pink, with the same cheerful ponytails. Even their names were similar.
The piglets were called: Nif-Nif, Nuf-Nuf and Naf-Naf.
All summer the piglets tumbled in the green grass, basked in the sun, basked in the puddles. But now 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 shivering from the cold. Let's build a house and winter together under one warm roof.
But his brothers didn't want to take the job.
- We'll make it! Winter is still far away. We'll take a walk, - said Nif-Nif and rolled over his head.
— When necessary, I will build a house for myself, — said Nuf-Nuf and lay down in a puddle.
“Me too,” added Nif-Nif.
- Well, as you wish. Then I will build my own house, - said Naf-Naf.
Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf were not in a hurry. All they did was play their pig games, jump and roll.
“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.
It was getting 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 to work.
Nif-Nif decided that it would be easier and most likely to make a house out of straw. Without consulting anyone, he did just that. By evening, his hut was ready. Nif-Nif put the last straw on the roof and, very pleased with his house, sang merrily:0005
You'll get around half the world,
You'll get around, you'll get around,
You won't find a better home,
You won't find it, you won't find it!
Singing this song, he went to Nuf-Nuf. Nuf-Nuf, not far away, also built a house for himself. He tried to finish this boring and uninteresting business as soon as possible. At first, like his brother, he wanted to build a house out 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 from branches and thin rods.
And so he did. He drove stakes into the ground, intertwined them with rods, heaped 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 good house,
A new house, a solid house,
I am not afraid of rain and thunder,
Rain and thunder, rain and thunder!
Before he could finish the song, Nif-Nif ran out from behind a bush.
— Well, your house is ready! - said Nif-Nif to his brother. "I told you we'd get it over with quickly!" Now we are free and can do whatever we want!
— Let's go to Naf-Naf and see what kind of house he has built for himself! - said Nuf-Nuf. "We haven't seen him in a long time!"
— Let's go see! Nif-Nif agreed.
Naf-Naf has been busy building for several days now. He dragged stones, kneaded clay, and now slowly built himself a reliable, durable house in which one could hide from wind, rain and frost. He made a heavy oak door with a bolt in the house so that the wolf from the neighboring forest could not climb up to him.
Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf found their brother at work.
— What are you building? - the surprised Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf shouted in one voice. - What is it, a pig house or a fortress?
- Piglet's home should be a fortress! Naf-Naf calmly answered them, continuing to work.
— Are you going to fight with someone? Nif-Nif grunted merrily and winked at Nuf-Nuf. And both brothers were so merry that their squeals and grunts carried 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:0055 Don't break through that door!
I'm smarter than everyone, of course,
Smarter than everyone, smarter than everyone!
I build a house from stones,
From stones, from stones!
— What animal is he talking about? - Nif-Nif asked Nuf-Nif.
— What animal are you talking about? - Nuf-Nuf asked Naf-Naf.
- I'm talking 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 be here? - said Nif-Nif.
- There are no wolves! He's just a coward! - added Nuf-Nuf.
And both of them 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 didn't even turn around.
- Let's go, Nuf-Nif, - said then Nif-Nif. “We have nothing to do here!
And 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 a pine tree.
— What's that noise? - the angry and hungry wolf grumbled with displeasure and galloped to the place where the squealing and grunting of two small, stupid pigs could be heard.
- Well, what kind of wolves can be here! - said at that time Nif-Nif, who saw wolves only in pictures.
- Here we will grab him by the nose, he will know! added Nuf-Nuf, who also had never seen a live wolf.
- Let's knock down, and even tie, and even with a foot like this, like this! Nif-Nif boasted.
And suddenly they saw a real live wolf! He stood 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 had a chill running down their backs and thin tails trembled finely. The poor pigs couldn't even move for fear.
The wolf prepared to jump, snapped his teeth, blinked his right eye, but the piglets suddenly came to their senses and, squealing throughout the forest, rushed to their heels.
They have never run so fast! Flashing with their heels and raising clouds of dust, they each rushed to their home.
Nif-Nif was the first to reach his thatched hut and barely managed to slam the door in front of the wolf's very nose.
— Unlock the door now! the wolf growled. “Or else I’ll break it!”
— No, — grunted Nif-Nif, — I won't unlock it!
The breath of a terrible beast was heard outside the door.
— Unlock the door now! the wolf growled again. “Otherwise I’ll blow so hard that your whole house will fly apart!”
But Nif-Nif, out of fear, could no longer answer anything.
Then the wolf began to blow: “F-f-f-w-w-w!” Straws flew from the roof of the house, the walls of the house shook. The wolf took another deep breath and blew a second time: “F-f-f-u-u-u-u!”. When the wolf blew for the third time, the house was blown in all directions, as if it had been hit by a hurricane.
The wolf snapped his teeth in front of the little piglet's snout, but Nif-Nif deftly dodged and rushed to run. A minute later he was already at the door of Nuf-Nuf.
As soon as the brothers had locked themselves in, they heard the wolf's voice:
— Well, now I'll eat you both!
Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf looked at each other in fear. 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 won’t eat those skinny piglets!” I'll go home!
Did you hear? - Nif-Nif asked Nuf-Nif. He said he won't eat us! We are skinny!
- This is very good! - Nuf-Nuf said and immediately stopped trembling.
The brothers became merry and 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 didn't even think of leaving. He just stepped aside and hunkered down. He had a hard time keeping himself from laughing.
— How cleverly I deceived two stupid little pigs!
When the pigs were completely calm, the wolf took the sheep's skin and cautiously crept up to the house. At the door, he covered himself with skin and knocked softly.
Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf were very frightened.
- Who's there? they asked, their tails shaking again.
- It's me, poor little sheep! the wolf squeaked in a thin, alien voice. - Let me spend the night, I strayed from the herd and very, very tired!
- You can let the sheep go! Nuf-Nuf agreed.
- A sheep is not a wolf!
But when the pigs opened the door, they saw not a sheep, 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 failed to outsmart the pigs! He threw off his sheepskin and growled:
“Wait a minute!” There will be nothing left of this house!
And he began to blow. The house leaned a little. The wolf blew a second, then a third, then a fourth time. Leaves flew off the roof, the walls shook, but the house still stood. And, only when the wolf blew for the fifth time, the house staggered and collapsed.
The door alone stood for some time in the middle of the ruins. In horror, the pigs rushed to run. Their legs were paralyzed with fear, every bristle trembled, their noses were dry. The brothers rushed to the house of Naf-Naf.
The wolf caught up with them with huge leaps. Once he almost grabbed Nif-Nif by the hind leg, but he pulled it back in time and added speed.
The wolf also pressed on. He was sure that this time the piglets would not run away from him.
But he was out of luck again. The piglets quickly rushed past a large apple tree without even hitting it. But 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 large lump jumped up on the wolf's forehead.
And Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf, neither alive nor dead, ran up to Naf-Naf's house at that time. The brother let them into the house and quickly bolted the door.
The poor piglets were so frightened that they could not say anything. They silently rushed 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 sang:
No animal in the world,
Sly animal, terrible animal,0055 Will not 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! And don't think! - Naf-Naf answered in a firm voice.
— Oh, yes! Well, hold on! Now I'll eat all three!
- Try it! - answered Naf-Naf from behind the door, not 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 more air and blew as best he could!
But no matter how much it blew, not even the smallest stone moved. The wolf turned blue from the effort. The house stood like a fortress. Then the wolf began to shake the door. But the door didn't budge either. The wolf, out of anger, began to scratch the walls of the house with his claws and gnaw the stones from which they were built, but he only broke off his claws and ruined his teeth. The hungry and angry wolf had no choice but to get out.
But then he raised his head and suddenly noticed a large, wide chimney on the roof.
- Yeah! Through this pipe I will make my way into the house! the wolf rejoiced.
He carefully climbed onto the roof and listened. The house was quiet.
I'm still going to eat some fresh pig today! - thought the wolf and, licking his lips, climbed into the pipe.
But as soon as he began to descend the pipe, the piglets heard a rustle. And when soot began to pour on the roof of the boiler, smart 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 did not have to wait long. Black as a chimney sweep, the wolf flopped right into the cauldron.
His eyes popped out on his forehead, all his hair stood on end.
With a wild roar, the scalded wolf flew back onto the roof, rolled down it to the ground, rolled over its head four times, and rushed into the forest.
And the three brothers, the three little pigs, looked after him and rejoiced that they had so cleverly taught the evil robber a lesson.
