The wolf cannot huff and puff hard enough to blow the house down. The third pig builds a house of hard bricks. Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in. Each exchange between wolf and pig features ringing proverbial phrases, namely: The second pig builds a house of sticks, but with the same ultimate result. The first little pig builds a house of straw, but a wolf blows it down and eats the first little pig. The story begins with the title characters being sent out into the world by their mother, to seek their fortune, just as you can see in our 3 Little Pigs coloring pages. The story in its arguably best-known form appeared English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs, first published in 1890 and crediting Halliwell as his source. The tale of the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf was included in Nursery Rhymes and Nursery Tales (London, c.1843), by James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps. The phrases used in the story, and the various morals which can be drawn from it, have become enshrined in western culture. Printed versions date back to the 1840s, but the story itself is thought to be much older. Three Little Pigs is a fairy tale featuring talking animals. Welcome to our 3 Little Pigs coloring pages!
