Reading Notes: English Fairy Tales Part A

 The Three Little Pigs

The Three Little Pigs: The first two pigs are not very smart, and got their houses blown down by the wolf. The first two pigs built their houses out of straw and furze, so the wolf had no problem blowing the houses down. The 3rd little pig was the smartest. He built his house out of bricks, so the wolf was not able to blow the house away. Also, he outsmarted the wolf when he was gong to get turnips, apples, and going to the fair. He ended up killing the wolf by having the wolf go down his chimney and land in a pot of boiling water. 

The Wolf: He is very sneaky and ends up eating 2 of the little pigs. He tries to trick the 3rd little pig into going to get radishes, apples, and going to the fair with him. The 3rd little pig tricks him all three times, by going at different times of the day. Finally, he is so fed up that he climbs the brick house and goes down the chimney. He falls into a boiling pot of water, and the pig ends up eating him.
