page 80 of 391 (20%)
I. _Introduction_. Time. Place. Characters: Mother and
Three Pigs. Mother gone.

II. _Rise_.

1. First Pig's venture with a man with a load of straw.
Builds a straw house. (Wolf enters.)
Wolf comes and destroys him.

2. Second Pig's venture with a man with a load of furze.
Builds a furze house.
Wolf comes and destroys him.

3. Third Pig's venture with a man with a load of bricks.
Builds a brick house.
Wolf comes. (Climax.)

III. _Conclusion_. Third Pig outwits the Wolf.
At the turnip-field in Mr. Smith's home-field.
At the apple tree in Merry-Garden.
At the fair at Shanklin.
At his own brick house.

Evidently the climax here is when the Wolf comes to the third Pig's
brick house. After that things take a turn; and the final test of
strength and cleverness comes at the very end of the tale, at Little
Pig's brick house.

Grimm's _Briar Rose_ is a model of structure and easily separates
itself into ten large episodes.
