The Three Little Pigs
Three little pigs grow up and the time comes for them to leave home and make their own way in the world. The first little pig builds himself a house of straw. The second little pig builds himself a house of sticks. The third little pig builds himself a house of bricks. One day a wolf comes along and blows down the house of straw. The first little pig escapes to his brothers house of sticks and hides with him, but the wolf follows and blows down the house of sticks too. The two brothers then seek sanctuary at the third brothers house of bricks, thinking that the wolf cannot blow down such a solid structure. This is true, but the wolf then climbs down the chimney. However, the third little pig being a sensible sort makes sure that there is a big cooking pot on the fire to catch the wolf and the three pigs have a yummy wolf flavoured dinner.
