We have to make a house to protect ourselves from the wolf. That way we can
hide ourselves inside her every time the wolf appears around here.

The middle one preferred to build it of wood, which was more resistant than straw and

When the three finished their houses, each one went into theirs and then
the wicked wolf appeared around there. He went to the straw house and knocked on the door:

You little pig, be good and let me in...

No! Not even think about it!

Well, I will blow and blow and I will knock down the little house!

And the wolf started to blow and sneeze, the weak house ended up coming down.
But the little pig ran away and took refuge in the house of his middle brother, who
it was made of wood.

You little piggies be good and let me in...

No! Not even thinking about it!, said the two.

Well, I will huff and puff and blow the little house down!

The wolf started to blow and to sneeze and although this time he had to do more
efforts to knock down the house, in the end the wood finally gave in and the piglets

2.2. Fable 'The Grasshopper and the Ant'

The ant and the grasshopper

All summer long, a grasshopper devoted itself to singing and playing without worrying.
You're welcome. One day, he saw an ant passing by with a huge grain of wheat to
store it in your anthill.

The cicada, not content with singing and playing, decided to mock the ant and said to her:

How boring you are! Stop working and start enjoying.

The ant, who always saw the grasshopper resting, replied:

I am storing supplies for when winter arrives, I advise you to

do the same.

Well, I'm not going to worry about anything,

what I need.

And she continued singing and playing.

Winter did not take long to arrive, and the cicada could not find food anywhere.
Desperate, she went to knock on the ant's door and asked for something to eat:

What did you do in the summer while I was working? asked the ant.
I was singing and playing,

—Well, if you sang and played in the summer —the ant replied—, keep singing and
playing in the winter.

That said, he/she closed the door.

The grasshopper learned not to mock others and to work with discipline.

Moral: To enjoy, you first have to work.
