three pigs

Wolf's brick lesson

Three pigs refers to the fairy tale "The Three Little Pigs," in which three brothers build houses of straw, sticks, and bricks, only to have a wolf blow down the first two.

The story teaches preparation and diligence—the pig who builds with bricks survives.

I'm not cutting corners on this project; I learned from the three pigs.
