“We’ll build a house,” Middle continued, “that will be fun to live in! And everyone will have plenty of space for their things. So that when you want to be alone, you can be alone, and when you are sad, you can easily find friends and have someone to talk to and play with.”
“Well,” Bear said. “Everything is clear to me. Despite the fact that Otter is a more experienced builder than the piglets… they are the ones who go to the finals of the competition!”
Fox’s eyes sparkled.
“Honorable jury, greatly respected Bear,” she said. “I have a suggestion. The piglets really have little experience… and, as we all saw yesterday, they don’t always take the task seriously. I suggest to make a deal. If the piglets finish their building on time and their house turns out to be better, they get both the piggy bank and the honorable title of Chief Builder.

“I think it should be a two-story house,” Major said.
The brothers agreed.
“Let’s make the rooms small, like ours, so we can accommodate more residents. We have a cozy room and it even has three beds in it.”
The brothers agreed.
“And it is also necessary to have a bookcase in each room so that everyone can read and study,” Major said. “And everyone should have a desk!”
The brothers agreed.
“But I think,” Middle said, “that we need a large pantry. On each floor. Or even two. To store pots and jam jars. And acorn jelly. And a cupboard for dishes.”
