  • An old sow had three piglets but no means to take care of them
  • She sent them off to seek fortune
  • The first pig met a man with straw and acquired enough to build a home
  • A wolf stopped by and asked for entry into the home
  • The pig wouldn't allow the wolf in, so the wolf blew his house down and ate up the pig
  • The second pig acquired furze and built a home
  • The wolf wasn't allowed into the second pigs home, blew it down and ate him
  • The third pig acquired bricks and built a home
  • The wolf attempted to blow the brick home down but was unable to
  • The wolf told the pig where to find turnips, and asked to meet 
  • The pig left early and got turnips without the wolf
  • The wolf figured out the pig went without him and told him where to find apples
  • The pig left for apples without the pig. 
  • The back and forth continued for a while
  • Soon, the wolf threatened to eat the pig
  • He would get down the pigs chimney 
  • The pig put on a pot full of water and a big fire, boiled up the wolf and ate him
