Belonging to universal folklore, this is a tale whose origins are probably much older than its mid-19th century printing date in Great Britain and Ireland. Again, we are before an animal tale, in which the three little pigs are personified, each representing a human attitude towards life and its most immediate consequences. Its fable structure, with a moral about the advantage of taking action before a problem actually occurs, makes this story an excellent first approach to values such as caution. It is a story that invites us to reflection, as early as in our childhood years, on values such as precaution, which helps to solve difficulties and confirms the old Spanish proverbs: "To foresee is to win" (which, in turn, reminds us of the famous quote from Don Quixote: a known enemy is a half defeated one ) and "You may rest when you have bread for May, and firewood for April". By being vigilant and not letting himself be misled by appearances, the third little pig saves himself and his more unwary brothers, from evil.
