The roof of the house peeks above the trees, and in the bottom right foreground are two logs, perhaps representing obstacles. In the bottom left foreground, a pig with nap-sack is walking into the frame, heading down the lane. In the distance are hills, representing adventure and perhaps the unknown.

Illustration number 4 depicts the pig building his house of straw. He is on a ladder adding the finishing touches to the top. Behind him are hills, perhaps representing distance from his friends. A bird is flying across the background, representing freedom and independence. It also may represent an omen of a potential visitor. The entire scene is framed in a frame of straw, much as the cover illustration was framed.

In illustration number 6, the wolf is at the door of the straw house.
