What is The three little pigs about?

Three little pigs leave home to build houses of their own. The first chooses straw, the second uses sticks, and the third carefully builds with strong bricks. Then a hungry wolf arrives, huffing and puffing as he tries to blow the houses down. When the first two homes collapse, the pigs race to the safety of the brick house. Can the wolf find a way inside, or will the cleverest pig outsmart him and keep them all safe?
