The Three Little Pigs

I'm confused about the lesson of the story.

After the three little pigs defeated the wolf was I supposed to learn from the 'responsible' brick house pig not to cut corners with my straw or stick hut?

How was I supposed to account for a new breed of wolf that  causes structural damage by exhaling? What if it ate mortar, wouldn't be so smugly lecturing now would you brick-pig?

For me the lesson is: 
the world is a crazy, scary place where you could easily be killed by something the first time you see it. Force your enemies into a narrow path to destroy them.
