The Story of the Three Little Pigs

A classic storybook illustration depicting a big bad wolf blowing at a small pig hiding inside a house made of straw.
The big bad wolf tries to blow down the pig's fragile straw house in this classic scene.

Once upon a time there was an old Sow with three little Pigs, and as she had not enough to keep them, she sent them out to seek their fortune. 1 The first that went off met a Man with a bundle of straw, and said to him, "Please, Man, give me that straw to build me a house"; which the Man did, and the little Pig built a house with it. Presently came along a Wolf, and knocked at the door, and said, "Little Pig, little Pig, let me come in." 1 To which the Pig answered, "No, no, by the hair of my chinny chin chin." 1 "Then I'll huff and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in!" 1
