The three little pigs grew so big that their mother said to them, "You are
too big to live here any longer. You must go and build houses for yourselves.
But take care that the wolf does not catch you."
The three little pigs set off. "We will take care that the wolf does not catch us," they said. Soon they met a man who was carrying some straw. "Please will you give me some straw?" asked the first little pig. "I want to build a house for myself."
"Yes,"
said the man and he gave the first little pig some straw.
Then the first little pig built himself a house of straw. He was very pleased with his house. He said, "Now the wolf won't catch me and eat me."
"I shall build a stronger house than yours," said the second little
pig.
"I shall build a stronger house than yours, too," said the third
little pig.
The second little pig and the third little pig went on along the road. Soon they met a man who was carrying some sticks."Please will you give me some sticks ?" asked the second little pig. "I want to build a house for myself."
"Yes,"
said the man and he gave the second little pig some sticks.
The second little pig was very pleased with his house. He said, "Now the
wolf won't catch me and eat me."
"I shall build a stronger house than yours," said the third little
pig.
"Please will you give me some bricks?" asked the third little pig.
"I want to build a house for myself."
"Yes," said the man and he gave the third little pig some bricks.
It took him a long time to build it, for it was a very strong house.
The third little pig was very pleased with his house. He said, "Now the
wolf won't catch me and eat me."
When the first little pig saw the wolf coming, he ran inside his house and shut
the door.
The wolf knocked on the door and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me
come in."
"Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in," said the
wolf.
So he huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed. The house of straw fell
down and the wolf ate up the first little pig.
When the second little pig saw the wolf coming, he ran inside his house and
shut the door.
The wolf knocked on the door and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me
come in."
"Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in," said the
wolf.
So he huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed. The house of sticks
fell down and the wolf ate up the second little pig.
When the third little pig saw the wolf coming, he ran inside his house and shut
the door.
The wolf knocked on the door and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me
come in."
"Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in," said the
wolf.
So he huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed. But the house of bricks
did not fall down.
So the wolf said, "Little pig, if you will be ready at six o'clock in the
morning, I will take you to Farmer Smith's field. We shall find some nice
turnips for dinner."
So the next morning the third little pig set off for Farmer Smith's field at
five o'clock. He filled his basket with turnips. Then he hurried home before it
was six o'clock.
"Oh! I have been to Farmer Smith's field," said the little pig.
"I filled my basket with turnips and they are now cooking for my
dinner."
The wolf was very angry, but he pretended not to be.
"Very well," said the little pig.
Next morning, the little pig set off at four o'clock. He found the apple tree.
He was up in the tree, picking apples, when the wolf came along.
He threw down an apple, but it rolled away down the road. The wolf ran after
it.
Then the little pig jumped down from the tree. He ran all the way home and shut
his door quickly.
He went to the little pig's house and knocked on the door. "Little
pig," he said, "if you will be ready at four o'clock this afternoon,
I will take you to the fair. We will have some fun on the swings and
roundabouts."
"Very well," said the little pig.
Then he bought himself a butter churn. It looked like a big barrel.
As little pig was going home he saw the wolf coming up the hill. Little pig was
very frightened, so he jumped inside his butter churn.
The butter churn began to roll over and over, down the hill. It rolled faster and faster. It knocked the wolf down.
The wolf did not know what had knocked him down. He was so frightened that he
ran away as quickly as he could.
Little pig jumped out of his butter churn and carried it home.
He said, "Little pig, I did not go to the fair yesterday. A great, big
thing came rolling down the hill and knocked me over."
"Ha-ha!" said the little pig. "That was me, inside my butter
churn!"
He said, "Little pig, I am going to eat you up. I am going to climb down
your chimney to get you."
The little pig was very frightened, but he said nothing. He put a big pot of
water on the fire, to boil.
The little pig took off the lid from the pot. Into the pot fell the wolf, with
a big splash. And that was the end of the wolf.
The third little pig was too clever for him.
