In the original they are 3 brothers and begin with equal means given to them by their mother, fwiw.

Yes, the original had the others die, but most these days have them shelter with the third pig. An extra layer.


Assuming the question is serious… The actual story emphasizes several important lessons I think. The pigs that build from sticks and hay are depicted as being lazy- taking the easy, cheap way to build their houses. But when the wolf comes, their homes aren’t up to the task of protecting them, in most versions costing them their lives.
The third pig is depicted as choosing to do the hard work of doing things properly. In the oldest extended versions of the tale the third pig is also shown to arrive early to events, which foils the wolfs plans. When the wolf finally tried to enter the house via the chimney, the third little pig remains level headed instead of panicking and manages to defeat the wolf soundly.
The lessons are to not take shortcuts, to do the hard work of doing things properly, to be prepared, to be timely (though this is omitted in most modern retellings), and finally to be calm and collected in the face of danger.


What sorcery is this?! I found a witch!


Gotta keep those packets in the network where they belong, don’t want them leaking out of the sockets!
That’s fair.
