Mother Pig sends her three little piglets out into the world to "seek their fortune".
The first little pig builds a house of straw, but a wolf blows it down and eats the pig. The encounter between wolf and pig features ringing proverbial phrases:
One day the big bad wolf came and knocked on the first little pig's door and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." And the little pig answered, "No, no, I won't let you come in, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin." "Well," said the wolf, "then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in." So he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house down and swallowed the first pig.
The second pig builds a house of sticks, has the same conversation with the wolf, who huffs and puffs the house down and swallows the second pig. The rest is well known.........
