The story follows three little pigs who leave their mother to live on their own. The first two pigs build houses out of straw and twigs, which are blown down by the Big Bad Wolf. The third pig builds his house with bricks, which withstands the wolf's attempts to blow it down. When the wolf tries to enter the brick house down the chimney, he gets caught in the fireplace. The pigs learn that bricks make the best building material and they live happily ever after.
