What’s the lesson of the 3 little pigs?
It all depends on which version of the story is told and
whom you ask.
“The short story "The Three Little Pigs" by James
Orchard Halliwell symbolises a much deeper meaning
than what first meets the eye.
The wolf seemed to be
motivated by greed to pursue the third little pig, but in
the end he should have been content with what he had.”

“The primary moral lesson learned from “The Three Little Pigs”
is that hard work and dedication pay off.
While the first
two pigs quickly built homes and had more free time to play,
the third pig labored in the construction of his house of bricks.”

“Work hard and don’t be lazy.
Prepare for the worst
and protect your assets.
Defend your family and put a
steel protective cap on the top of your chimney.”—Win

“When all is said and done, however, the bottom-line
lesson to learn from the Three Little Pigs is this: BACON
GOES GOOD WITH EVERYTHING!” —Rodney

Ultimately, the meaning of any fictional or futuristic
story depends on the author’s explanation.
How do we figure out the author’s intended meaning?
1. Look for the author’s main point.
A.
The main point will be the focus of the
author’s explanation.
Note: Do not get hung up on details that are not the
main point.
B. The main point is often (though not always)
repeated.
WHAT IS THE MAIN POINT OF THE VISION
OF THE HORSEMAN IN ZECHARIAH 1:8?
Zechariah 1:8 (ESV) “I saw
in the night, and behold, a
man riding on a red horse!
He was standing among
the myrtle trees in the glen,
and behind him were red,
sorrel, and white horses.
“I saw in the night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse!
He was
standing among the myrtle trees in the glen, and behind him were red,
sorrel, and white horses.”
What is the main point?
the colour of the
horses?
the number of
the horses?
the type of tree?
something else?
If in doubt, keep reading your Bible.
Zechariah 1:9 (ESV)
Then I said, ‘What are these, my lord?’
The angel who
talked with me said to me, ‘I will show you what they
are.’
Zechariah 1:10 (ESV)
So the man who was standing among the myrtle trees
answered, ‘These are they . .
.’
Zechariah 1:10 (ESV)
So the man who was standing among the myrtle trees
answered, ‘These are they whom the Lord has sent to
patrol the earth.’
The author’s focus is not on the number of the horses, the
color of the horses, or on the myrtle tree.
