Once upon a time, in a vibrant meadow, lived three sheep of different colors. The white sheep was always cheerful, the brown sheep a bit serious, and the black sheep, very clever.

They lived in the same house. But one day, they decided to live independently. The white sheep chose a house of straw, the brown one a wooden house, and the black sheep, a house of bricks.

One day, a big bad wolf from the adjacent forest saw the sheep's houses. He was always hungry and decided to eat the sheep.

He approached the white sheep's straw house first. He huffed and puffed and blew the house down. The white sheep ran away to hide in the forest.

Next, the wolf reached the brown sheep's wooden house. He huffed and puffed and set the house on fire. The brown sheep too, fled to the forest.

Finally, he reached the black sheep's house. He tried to blow down the brick house, but it stood firm. The wolf was frustrated but didn't give up.

He climbed up to the chimney and called out to the black sheep, 'Wait for me!' But the black sheep was smarter than the wolf thought.

The black sheep quickly lit a fire in the fireplace. As the wolf jumped down the chimney, he landed in the fire and jumped out howling in pain.

The wolf ran away, vowing never to come back. The black sheep let out a sigh of relief. His clever thinking had saved him.

Soon, the white and brown sheep came out from their hiding. They praised the black sheep's cleverness and decided to build brick houses too.

Together, they built new houses, stronger and safer. They knew the importance of a strong house and promised to help each other in times of need.

From that day on, they lived happily in their own houses, always ready to face any danger. The wolf never dared to come back, and the sheep lived in peace.
