The three little pigs each build a house of increasing strength - straw, sticks, and bricks. When the Big Bad Wolf encounters each pig, he huffs and puffs and blows down the straw and stick houses, chasing the pigs to the brick house. Though he huffs and puffs, the brick house stands strong. Unable to blow it down, the Wolf climbs down the chimney but falls into a pot of boiling soup, burning his tail and causing him to run away as the pigs live happily ever after in their secure brick home.
