The Three Little Pigs – Silly Symphony
What does This little piggy went to market really mean?
https://youtu.be/M3UptNhlKr4
This Little Piggy Went to Market
“If the first pig went to the market to get slaughtered, then the “little piggy staying home” refers to a pig not yet ready to eat, and that must stay home to mature. The “little piggy having roast beef” is about fattening a pig up, while the fourth “piggy that gets none” is too small to go to the market.”
According to Sporcle, it isn’t too hard to spot the darker interpretation in this particular nursery rhyme. If the first pig went to the market to get slaughtered, then the “little piggy staying home” refers to a pig not yet ready to eat, and that must stay home to mature. The “little piggy having roast beef” is about fattening a pig up, while the fourth “piggy that gets none” is too small to go to the market. And perhaps most dark, that final little piggy is not singing “wee, wee, wee”, but rather crying in fright.

This Little Piggy
The rhyme is usually counted out on an infant or toddler’s toes, each line corresponding to a different toe,[3] usually starting with the big toe and ending with the little toe.[2] A foot tickle is added during the “Wee…all the way home” section of the last line.[citation needed] The rhyme can also be seen as a counting rhyme, although the number of each toe (from one for the big toe to five for the little toe) is never stated.

Three Little Pigs – Fixed Fairy Tales
Origins
In 1728, the first line of the rhyme appeared in a medley called “The Nurses Song”. The first known full version was recorded in The Famous Tommy Thumb’s Little Story-Book, published in London about 1760. In this book, the rhyme goes:[4]
This pig went to market,
That pig stayed home;
This pig had roast meat,
That pig had none;
This pig went to the barn’s door,
And cried week, week for more.[5]

The full rhyme continued to appear, with slight variations, in many late 18th- and early 19th-century collections. Until the mid-20th century, the lines referred to “little pigs”.[4]
