Four little pigs were walking through the field, very happy and excited. They talked through their elbows and told lots of jokes. Between laughter and pirouettes, the path became shorter. They were going to lunch at her grandmother's house. She cooked wonderfully and the four were already licking each other, thinking about the delights that awaited them.
It was then that they encountered two bears, which were going in the opposite direction. They were trying to pester someone and thought they were very funny. So they said to the little pigs:
— Do not follow this path, which is interrupted. It's under construction. Better take a detour through the woods, isn't that right, teddy bear? assured the first of them.
- Sure! My friend is giving good advice. In addition to not being able to pass, they will be full of dust if they continue here. replied the other.
The four little pigs, after thanking the bears for their kindness, went deeper into the woods, ready to take a little walk. But shortly after entering the forest, they realized they were lost.
Luckily, from the top of a tree, a parakeet had heard the whole conversation and decided to help the little pigs.
"Come on, little pigs!" Get out of the woods as soon as possible, as these two idiot bears were playing with you. The path is not cut off. Follow me. I will take you safely to the place where you were.
The piggies thanked, bewildered, and accompanied the parakeet. They soon found themselves on the same path that would take them to their grandmother's house. Before saying goodbye, the parakeet warned:
"I hope they learned their lesson." You must never trust the first one who appears. Understood?
— Yes, good parakeet, understood. Thank you so much for your generous help! said one of the little pigs.
The four learned their lesson and never talked again, accepted suggestions, or believed in strangers.
