Three Little Pigs

Fifer Pig, Fiddler Pig and Practical Pig are three brothers who build their own houses. They each play a different instrument—Fifer the flute, Fiddler the violin, and Practical the piano—and their talents set the mood for their daily lives. Fifer and Fiddler finish their straw and stick houses quickly and spend their days playing, while Practical concentrates on constructing a sturdy brick house.

While the brothers work, Fifer and Fiddler play and sing, turning construction into a fun game. They tease Practical for working instead of singing, insisting that work and play don't mix. Practical keeps at his brick house, determined to finish first.

Practical warns that if the Wolf comes, their fragile homes won't save them. He argues that a solid brick house is the only true protection. The others ignore his caution as they continue to sing.

As they sing, the Big Bad Wolf appears. He blows down Fifer's straw house with little resistance, and Fifer narrowly escapes. Fifer flees to Fiddler's house for safety.

The Wolf pretends to give up and goes home, then returns disguised as an innocent sheep. The trick fails to fool the pigs, who see through the disguise. The Wolf then targets Fiddler's stick house.

The Wolf blows down Fiddler's stick house, and Fiddler and Fifer escape once again. They run to Practical's brick house for safety. The Wolf stands outside, ready to try his cunning again.

The three pigs seek shelter inside Practical's brick house and lock their doors. Practical welcomes them, proud of his sturdy construction and calm temperament under pressure. The Wolf circles the brick fortress, trying to figure out a way in.

The Wolf arrives at the brick house disguised as a Fuller Brush salesman, hoping to trick the pigs into letting him in. The pigs clearly see through the ruse and refuse entry. Practical remains calm, his piano playing providing a dramatic counterpoint.

Frustrated, the Wolf tries to blow down the brick house, but his strength falters and his clothes tear in the effort. Practical's melodramatic piano score keeps up the tension. The brick house holds firm and the pigs stay safe.

Desperate for entry, the Wolf climbs onto the roof and tries the chimney. Practical smears turpentine on a big pot of water beneath it, creating a dangerous trap for the intruder. The Wolf is unaware of the deadly setup.

The Wolf slides down into the boiling pot and shrieks in pain as he falls victim to Practical's trap. He frantically scrambles back up the chimney and escapes into the night, defeated for the moment. The pigs celebrate quietly, still wary of future danger.

The pigs resume singing 'Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?' as a chorus of triumph. Practical then taps on his piano, tricking his brothers into thinking the Wolf has returned. They hide under Practical's bed, ready for whatever comes next.
