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.
