1. Tres Porcelli

    The Three Little Pigs

  2. Olim tres porcelli erant qui fortunam quaerere profecti sunt.

    Once upon a time, there were three little pigs who set out to seek their fortune.

  3. Primus porcellus domum suam ex stramine aedificavit, quod facillimum erat.

    The first little pig built his house out of straw, because it was the easiest.

  4. Secundus porcellus domum suam ex virgis aedificavit.

    The second little pig built his house out of sticks.

  5. Tertius porcellus industrie laboravit et domum suam ex lateribus aedificavit.

    The third little pig worked industriously and built his house out of bricks.

  6. Quadam die lupus malus et magnus advenit.

    One day, a big bad wolf arrived.

  7. Ad domum primi porcelli ivit et dixit:

    He went to the house of the first little pig and said:

  8. "Porcelle, porcelle, sine me intrare!"

    "Little pig, little pig, let me come in!"

  9. "Minime, minime, per pilos mentis meae!"

    "No, no, by the hairs of my chinny-chin-chin!"

  10. dixit porcellus.

    said the little pig.

  11. "Ergo efflabo et sufflabo et domum tuam deiiciam!"

    "Then I will huff and I will puff and I will blow your house down!"

  12. Ita efflabat et sufflabat et domum deiecit, et primus porcellus ad domum fratris ex virgis cucurrit.

    So he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house down, and the first little pig ran to the house of his brother made of sticks.

  13. Lupus ad domum ex virgis venit et dixit:

    The wolf came to the house made of sticks and said:

  14. "Porcelli, porcelli, sinite me intrare!"

    "Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in!"

  15. "Minime, minime, per pilos mentium nostrarum!"

    "No, no, by the hairs of our chinny-chin-chins!"

  16. "Ergo efflabo et sufflabo et domum vestram deiiciam!"

    "Then I will huff and I will puff and I will blow your house down!"

  17. Ita efflabat et sufflabat et domum deiecit, et duo porcelli ad domum fratris ex lateribus cucurrerunt.

    So he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house down, and the two little pigs ran to the house of their brother made of bricks.

  18. Lupus ad domum ex lateribus venit et dixit:

    The wolf came to the house made of bricks and said:

  19. "Porcelli, porcelli, sinite me intrare!"

    "Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in!"

  20. "Minime, minime, per pilos mentium nostrarum!"

    "No, no, by the hairs of our chinny-chin-chins!"

  21. "Ergo efflabo et sufflabo et domum vestram deiiciam!"

    "Then I will huff and I will puff and I will blow your house down!"

  22. Ita efflabat et sufflabat, sed domum deiicere non poterat, quod ex solidis lateribus facta erat.

    So he huffed and he puffed, but he could not blow the house down, because it was made of solid bricks.

  23. Lupus valde iratus erat, sed etiam callidus erat.

    The wolf was very angry, but he was also clever.

  24. "Porcelli," inquit,

    "Little pigs," he said,

  25. "per fumarium descendam et vos vorabam!"

    "I will go down the chimney and I will devour you!"

  26. Tertius porcellus prudens eum audivit et ollam magnam aquae super ignem ut ferveret suspendit.

    The wise third little pig heard him and hung a large pot of water over the fire to boil.

  27. Cum lupus per fumarium descendit, recta in ollam ferventem cecidit.

    When the wolf came down through the chimney, he fell straight into the boiling pot.

  28. Ululatum magnum dedit et aufugit, nec tres porcellos umquam postea vexavit.

    He gave a great howl and fled, and he never bothered the three little pigs ever again.

  29. Itaque tres porcelli feliciter in perpetuum in domo solida ex lateribus vixerunt.

    And so, the three little pigs lived happily ever after in the solid house made of bricks.
