The story of the Three Little Pigs is a popular children's tale about three pigs who each build their own houses. The first pig builds a house of straw, the second pig uses sticks, and the third pig constructs a sturdy house of bricks. Each pig hopes to protect themselves from the Big Bad Wolf. The Big Bad Wolf comes along and tries to blow down the houses to eat the pigs. He easily destroys the straw and stick houses, but he cannot blow down the brick house. In the end, the three pigs find safety in the brick house, teaching a lesson about hard work and perseverance.
