FAVORITE FAIRY TALE


The Bull's House

Once upon a time, there lived a wild bull, a swan, a chicken and a sheep in a faraway jungle. Their biggest enemy was the wolf.

Winter was approaching, and the bull thought it would be wise to build a wooden house to be safe from the cold weather.

"Let's build a house, shall we?" The bull asked his friends one day.

"I don't need a house, my thick coat will save me." Said the proud sheep.

" I have two wings. I can use one as a bedsheet, the other as a blanket. House? No thanks. " Went the swan.

The chicken did not show much interest about the house either.


The bull decided to build his house alone. He also promised not to let any of his friends enter the house no matter what happens.

That winter was really cold, but the bull was comfortable in his new house. He had a very nice fireplace.

One day, the sheep came to the house. "Let me in, bull," he said.
"No, your coat will save you." The bull replied angrily.
"Let me in, or I'll make a hole in the house, the winter wind will attack you then." Replied the clever sheep.
So bull let the sheep in.

Similarly, all the others came to the house and bull let them all in.

One day, the wolf came, and they let him in by mistake.

The clever chicken was relaxing on the roof at that moment. Noticing the wolf, she began chanting:

" I have a knife and a rope
I'll hang you, cut you and eat you."

The chicken had changed her voice a bit,so the wolf thought that a demon might be speaking. Really scared, he went away. From then on, the animal friends lived in their house happily.
