6. Three little pigs

This is one of my child’s favourite. The story of three little pigs who leave home to seek their fortunes and how they deal with the big bad wolf. The huffed and the puffed wolf is the most awaited character of the story.  The moral of the story and the way it has been described is very impressive.
