Joseph Jacobs' the Story of the Three Little Pigs

In this version of the three little pigs we have three pigs that leave their mom. Each of them builds their own house. The first one builds a house of straws, the second pig builds a house of bricks and the third pig builds a house of bricks. Later on in the story the wolf shows up and kills the first two pigs. He can not kill the oldest pig because he built his house with bricks. The story gives the reader a good moral. It tells us that hard work pays off and that one has to think forward. By using different houses in the story, it symbolizes the society very well. This version was published in the nineteenth century England. A time when we had the Industrial Revolution. It was a time when the technology, and houses developed and that is very well illustrated in the story. The story is amusing and really appropriate for young kids. They will have fun reading it and definitely learn important things about life.
