I sette maialetti pigri

Seven lazy piglets and a very patient mother… a situation many families might recognise. In the Piglet household, some do all the work while others would rather avoid every task: cleaning the house, preparing meals, and organising everyday life. One day, tired of taking care of everything on her own, Mother Piglet packs her bags and decides it is time for the others to learn how to manage by themselves. Taking with her the only three children who usually help around the house, she leaves for a holiday by the sea. But before setting off, she makes a curious stop at the clinic of Doctor Wolf and Doctor She-Wolf, specialists “in cases of desperate laziness, such as teeth or hair that refuse to be brushed, or brooms that refuse to sweep”. What will happen to the seven lazy piglets left at home? A hilarious and wise story about responsibility, independence, and growing up — told with humour and without a trace of moralising.
