1 The story of the

2 Three little pigs. (1912)

3 There were once three

4 little pigs, who started

5 out to seek

6 their fortune.

7 The first that went

8 off met a man

9 with a bundle

10 of straw, and

11 said to him:

12 "Please, man, give

13 me that straw

14 to build me

15 a house."

16 Which the man did,

17 and the little pig

18 built a house

19 with it.

20 along came a wolf,

21 and knocked

22 at the door,

23 and said:

24 "Little pig, little pig,

25 let me come in."

26 To which the pig

27 answered: -- "No, not,

28 by the hair of

29 my chiny- chin-chin."

30 The wolf then

31 answered to that: --

32 "Then I’ll huff, and

33 I'll puff, and I'll

34 blow your house in."

35 So he huffed,

36 and he puffed,

37 and he blew

38 his house in,

39 and chased off

40 the little pig.

41 The second little

42 pig met a man

43 with a bundle

44 of sticks, and said: --

45 "Please, man, give me

46 those sticks to

47 build a house."

48 Which the man did,

49 and the pig

50 built his house.

51 Then along came

52 the wolf, and said: --

53 "Little pig, little pig,

54 let me come in."

55 "No, not, by

56 the hair of my

57 chiny- chin-chin."

58 "Then I'll puff,

59 and I’ll huff,

60 and I’ll blow

61 Your house in."

62 So he huffed,

63 and he puffed,

64 and he puffed

65 and he huffed,

66 and at last he

67 blew the house

68 down, and he chased

69 away the little pig.

70 The third little pig

71 met a man with

72 a load of bricks,

73 and said: -- "Please, man,

74 give me those

75 bricks to build

76 a house with."

77 So the man gave

78 him the bricks, and

79 he built his

80 house with them.

81 So the wolf came,

82 as he did to

83 the other little

84 pigs, and said: --

85 "Little pig, little pig,

86 let me come in."

87 "No, not, by the

88 hair of my

89 chiny- chin-chin."

90 "Then I'll huff,

91 and I’ll puff,

92 and I’ll blow

93 your house in."

94 Well, he huffed,

95 and he puffed,

96 and he huffed,

97 and he puffed,

98 and he puffed

99 and huffed; but he

100 could not get the

101 house down.

102 When he found that

103 he could not, with

104 all his huffing and

105 puffing, blow the

106 house down, he said:

107 "Little pig, I know

108 where there is a

109 nice field of turnips."

110 "Where?"

111 said the little pig.

112 "Oh, in Mr. Smith's

113 farm, and if you

114 will be ready

115 tomorrow morning

116 I will call for

117 you, and we will

118 go together, and

119 get some for dinner.”

120 "Very well," said the

121 little pig,

122 “I will be ready.

123 What time do

124 you mean to go?"

125 "Oh, at six o'clock."

126 Well, the little pig

127 got up at five,

128 and got the turnips

129 before the wolf

130 came (which he did

131 about six) and said:

132 "Little pig,

133 are you ready?"

134 The little pig said:

135 “Ready! I have been

136 and come back again,

137 and got a

138 nice potful for dinner."

139 The wolf felt very

140 angry at this, but

141 thought that he would

142 be up to the

143 little pig somehow

144 or other, so he

145 said: "Little pig,

146 I know where there

147 is a nice apple

148 tree." "Where?"

149 said the pig.

150 "Down at Merry-garden,"

151 replied the wolf,"

152 and if you will

153 not deceive me

154 I will come for

155 you at five o'clock

156 tomorrow, and

157 get some apples."

158 Well, the little pig

159 bustled up the next

160 morning at four o'clock,

161 and went off for

162 the apples, hoping to

163 get back before

164 the wolf came;

165 but he had further

166 to go, and had

167 to climb the tree,

168 so that just as

169 he was coming down

170 from it, he saw

171 the wolf coming,

172 which, as you may

173 suppose, frightened

174 him very much.

175 When the wolf

176 came up he said:

177 “Little pig, what! are

178 you here before me?

179 Are they nice apples?"

180 "Yes, very," said

181 the little pig.

182 "I will throw

183 you down one.”

184 And he threw it

185 so far that, while

186 the wolf was gone

187 to pick it up,

188 the little pig jumped

189 down and ran home.

190 The next day the

191 wolf came again,

192 and said to

193 the little pig:

194 "Little pig, there is

195 a fair at London

196 this afternoon;

197 will you go?"

198 "Oh, yes,"

199 said the pig,

200 "I will go;

201 what time shall

202 you be ready?"

203 "At three,"

204 said the wolf.

205 So the little pig

206 went off before

207 the time, as usual,

208 and got to

209 the fair, and bought

210 a butter churn,

211 which he was going

212 home with when he

213 saw the wolf coming.

214 Then he could not

215 tell what to do.

216 So he got into

217 the churn to hide,

218 and by so doing

219 turned it round,

220 and it rolled down

221 the hill with

222 the pig in it,

223 which frightened the wolf

224 so much that he

225 ran home without going

226 to the fair.

227 He went to the

228 little pig's house,

229 and told him how

230 frightened he had been

231 by a great round

232 thing which came down

233 the hill past him.

234 Then the

235 little pig said:

236 "Hah, I frightened you,

237 then! I had been

238 to the fair and

239 bought a butter churn,

240 and when I

241 saw you, I got

242 into it, and rolled

243 Down the hill."

244 Then the wolf was

245 very angry indeed, and

246 declared he would

247 eat up the

248 little pig, and that

249 he would get down

250 the chimney after him.

251 When the little pig

252 saw what he

253 was about, he hung

254 on the pot full

255 of water, and made

256 up a blazing fire,

257 and, just as the

258 wolf was coming down,

259 took off the cover

260 quickly, and in

261 fell the wolf.

262 The wolf got burned,

263 and screamed, and

264 ran away and

265 never came back.

266 And the little pig

267 lived happily ever after.
