A gentle retelling for listeners ages 3–5 of the traditional English folktale, as told in L. Leslie Brooke’s edition: a wolf blows down the straw and furze houses of two little pigs, but the third little pig’s brick house stands, and he outwits the wolf again and again.

Once upon a time an old mother pig had three little pigs. She did not have enough to feed them, so she sent them to seek their fortune.
The first little pig met a man with a bundle of straw. “Please, man, give me that straw to build me a house.” The man did, and the pig built his house of straw.
Along came a wolf. He knocked at the door. “Little pig, little pig, let me come in.” “No, no, by the hair of my chinny chin chin!”
