The British version of the story often has a more detailed description of the countryside where the pigs live. The language used is more proper and perhaps a bit more old - fashioned. For example, the dialogue between the pigs and the wolf might have words like 'prithee' or 'thou'. Also, the way the pigs outwit the wolf could be more in line with traditional British cunning. They might use local knowledge of the area, like hiding in a nearby haystack which is a common feature in the British countryside.
In the British version of the 3 little pigs story, the cultural elements play a big role. The houses could be built in a way that reflects British architecture. The brick house might be more like a small British cottage. The wolf's behavior might also be influenced by British folklore. He could be more of a trickster figure like some of the characters in traditional British tales. And the moral of the story might be taught in a more Victorian - style way, emphasizing hard work and self - reliance which were highly valued in British society at that time.
In the British version, the pigs usually manage to outsmart the wolf and live happily ever after in their strong houses.
In a modern version, the pigs might use modern technology. For example, instead of just straw, sticks and bricks, one pig could use steel frames which are common in modern building. Also, the wolf might use modern tools to try to break in, like a power drill. And the pigs could communicate with each other via smartphones and call for help quickly.
The first pig's house is made of straw, which is very weak. The second pig's house is of sticks, stronger than straw but still not very solid. The third pig's house is made of bricks, which is very strong.
Well, in the French version, the pigs might have different personalities. Maybe they are more flamboyant or something. And the wolf could be more sly in a French way. Also, the houses they build could have a French architectural touch perhaps.
In the '3 Little Pigs' story, the pigs' choices seem rather simplistic. In a true version, they'd likely be more strategic. For instance, the pigs in the story build houses based on ease, but in real life, they might consider things like protection from all kinds of threats, not just a wolf. Also, in the story, the wolf is out - and - out evil. In a true story, it's just an animal following its instincts, not a villain.
In the true story, the wolf is not a villain. In the traditional version, the wolf is seen as a menacing figure who wants to eat the pigs. But in the true story, he just wants some sugar. Also, the pigs' reactions seem more extreme in the traditional story as they immediately assume the wolf is there to harm them without really trying to understand his intentions.
Well, the short version may just mention the types of houses briefly. In the full story, the straw house of the first pig was hastily made and was like a flimsy shelter. It was just a bunch of straws put together. The stick house of the second pig was made of branches, and it was more structured than the straw house but still had many gaps. The brick house of the third pig was carefully constructed with bricks and mortar. It was a proper, strong building that could withstand the wolf's huffing and puffing, which was a big difference from the other two houses.
Well, in the traditional three little pigs story, the pigs build their houses and the wolf is clearly the bad guy who wants to devour them. However, in the true story of the three little pigs, it's told from the wolf's point of view. He was just out to get some sugar for his granny's cake. His huffing and puffing were because of a cold, not because he was trying to be menacing. And the third pig's behavior towards him seems less justifiable in this new version.
In the traditional story, the wolf is clearly the villain who tries to eat the pigs. But in the real story, the wolf might be misjudged. Maybe he just has other intentions like asking for help. Also, in the traditional story, the pigs seem more like victims just building houses and defending themselves. In the real story, the pigs could have their own hidden motives like being thieves or just being irresponsible in building proper houses.
In 'Three Little Pigs', the pigs are seen as the victims and the wolf as the villain. But in 'The True Story', the wolf might have a different side. Maybe he was just looking for some sugar and had a cold which made his huffing and puffing seem more menacing than it was.
