Summary of The Three Little Pigs

Once upon a time there were three little pigs that were close as can be. The pigs lived at home with their parents, but were ready to go out into the world and live on their own. The pigs left home, and each builds a house for himself. The first pig builds a house of straw, the second a house of sticks and the third pig uses bricks for his house.

A big bad wolf comes to the house of the first pig and demands to be let in. The pig refuses, and the wolf blows down the house of straw. The frightened pig runs to the stick house of his brother, but the wolf follows him and demands to be let in. The pigs inside refuse and the wolf blows down the house of sticks as well. The two pigs run to the brick house of the third pig. The wolf tries to blow in that house too, but he is unable to because it is too strongly built.

The wolf tries to get inside the brick house by climbing down the chimney. The third pig quickly puts a pot of boiling water onto the fire, and the wolf dies when he lands in it. All of the pigs move into the brick house, and they live happily ever after.
