And So, she called them and said, "Children, you are old enough to take care of yourselves and see the world on your own. All three of you should go out and build your own house, but remember to build a strong home for yourselves."
The pigs agreed with their mother and left the house. While wandering, they reached a forest and saw many animals, some smaller than them and some bigger.
They spent a few days in the forest, but feared bigger animals and left to go to a small village where they spent their days happily eating leftover food thrown away by the villagers.
One day, the three brothers remembered their mother's advice to build a strong house for themselves.
"Why do I need to build a house? I am fine in the mud on the banks of this pond. It's so cool here," said the eldest brother.
The middle brother said, "You're right, brother! I, too, don't need to build a house. I'm fine in the bushes," and promptly fell asleep in them.
After listening to them, the youngest brother said, "I, too, don't feel the need to build a house. I can live in this big drain and be happy," and headed towards it.
They had fun in the next few days until one day, they saw a wolf coming towards them. They got scared and clung to each other, unable to understand why the wolf had come to the village.
The elder brother guessed and said, "I think this wolf is hungry. It must not have found prey in the forest and has come in search of food to the village."
