Well, the modern day 3 little pigs would be more tech - savvy. The first pig might use basic, free online tools to create something, like a simple app. The second pig could use more advanced but still not perfect technology. The wolf would be a hacker or a corporate shark. The third pig, being the most advanced, would use state - of - the - art technology and security measures. In the traditional story, they were just building houses and dealing with a physical wolf. Here, they are in a digital and more complex world.
In the modern day version, the pigs could be more like city - dwellers. Instead of building houses, they might be building their online profiles or small businesses. The big bad wolf could be cyber - bullies or greedy business rivals rather than a literal wolf.

The characters in the modern day story would have different occupations and face different threats. The pigs could be young professionals trying to make it in a cut - throat job market.

The wolf could be a corrupt boss or a conniving colleague. The third pig lands a great job with a reliable company. In the traditional story, it was all about houses and a wild animal, but now it's about career and office politics.
In Roald Dahl's version, the characters might be more mischievous. The pigs could be more clever in outwitting the wolf compared to the traditional version where they are just seen as building houses and hiding. The wolf may also be more conniving in Dahl's take.

Well, a modern retelling might change the mode of communication. In the traditional story, news spread slowly among the shepherds. Now, it could be through social media. A tweet or an Instagram post could go viral about the birth of Jesus. Also, the gifts of the wise men might not be just gold, frankincense and myrrh. They could be modern things like a high - tech device to help in the child's growth or a large sum of money to support a charity in the baby's name.
The wolf could see himself as a victim. Maybe he had a family to feed and the pigs were the only source of food he could find. So his actions were out of desperation.

In the true story, the wolf is not evil. But in the traditional one, the wolf is a villain who wants to eat the pigs. That's the main difference.
The first little pig is a bit lazy and naive. He builds his house out of straw quickly, not thinking about how vulnerable it is. The second pig is also not very wise as he builds his stick house which is not very strong either. The third pig is hard - working, clever and far - sighted. He takes the time to build a strong brick house. And the wolf represents the predator, the one who tries to take advantage of the weaker ones.
The main character who makes the deal with Rumpelstiltskin might be a businesswoman instead of a miller's daughter. She would be more assertive and try to negotiate better terms.

Instead of living in a little hut in the woods, he might operate from a fancy penthouse in the city.
The characters are the three little pigs and the big bad wolf.
