Three little pig brothers set out on their own and each built a house from different materials. The first pig built his house from straw which was blown down by the Big Bad Wolf. The second pig's house made of wood also blew down. They escaped to the third pig's brick house, which withstood the wolf's huffs and puffs. The wolf tried to come down the chimney but fell into a pot of boiling water instead, with the three little pigs saying he deserved his fate.
