English Fairy Tales

PIGS THE STORY OF THE THREE LITTLE

                Once upon a time when pigs spoke rhyme

And monkeys chewed tobacco,

And hens took snuff to make them tough,

And ducks went quack, quack,quack, O!

 

There was an old sow with three little pigs, and as she had

Not enough so keep them, she sent them out to seek their

Fortune. The first that went off met a man with a bundle of

Straw, and said to him:

                “Please, man, give me that straw to build me a house.”

                Which the man did, and the little a house with it.

                Presently came along a wolf, and knocked at the door, and

                Said:

                “Little pig, little pig, let me come in.”

                To which the pig answered:

                “No, no by the hair of my chiny chin chin”

                The wolf then answered to that:

                “Then I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in.”

                So he huffed, and he puffed, and he blew his house in.

                and ate up the little pig

                The second little pig met a man with a bundle of furze,

                and said:

                “Please, man, give me that furze to build a house.”

                Which the man did, and the pig built his house, Then

                along came the wolf, and said:

                “Little pig, little pig, let me come in.”

                “No, no,  by the hair of my chiny chin chin.”

                “Than I’ll puff, and I’ll huff, and I’ll blow your house in”

                So he huffed, and he puffed, and he puffed, and he puffed

                And, at last he blew the house down, and he ate up the little

                Pig

                The third little pig met a man with a load of bricks, and

                Said:

                “Please, man ,give me those bricks to build a house with”

                So the man gave him the bricks, and he built his house

                With them. So the wolf came, as he did to the other little

                Pigs, and said:

                “Little pig, little pig, let me come in”

                “No, no by the hair of my chiny chin chin”

                “Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in”

Well, he huffed, and he puffed, and he huffed and he

Puffed, and he puffed and huffed; but he could not get the

House down. When he found that he could not, with all his

Huffing and puffing, blow the house down, he said:

                “Litle pig, I know where there is a nice field of turnips.”

                “Where?” said the little pig.

                “Oh, in Mr Smith’s Home-field, and if you will be ready

Tomorrow morning I will call for you, and we will go together, and

Get some for dinner.”

                “Verry well,” said the little pig, I will ready. What time

Do you mean to go?”

                “Oh, at six o’clock.”

                Well, the little pig got up at five, and got the turnips before

                The wolf came (which he did about six) and who said:

                “Little Pig, are you ready?”

                The little pig said: “Ready! I have been and come back

Again, and got a nice potful for dinner.”

                The wolf felt very angry at this, but thought that he would

be up to the little pig somehow ot other, so he said:

                “Little pig, I know where there is a nice apple-tree.”

                “Where?” said the pig

                “Down at Merry-garden,” replied the wolf. “and if you

Will not deceive me I will come for you , at five o,clock tomorrow

and get some apples”

                “Well, the little pig bustled up the next morning at four

o,clock, and went off for the apples, hoping to get back before

the wolf came; but he had further to go, and had to

climb the tree, so that just as he was coming down form it,

he saw the wolf coming, which, as you may suppose, frightened

him very much. When the wolf came up he said:

                “Little pig, what! Are you here before me? Are they nice

Apples?”

                Yes, very,” said the little pig. “I will throw you down one.”

                And he threw it so far, that, while the wplf was gone to

Pick it up, the little pig jumped down and ran home. The

Next day the wolf came again, and said to the little pig:

                “Little pig, there is a fair at Shanklin this afternoon, will

You go?’

                “Oh yes”, said the pig, “I will go; what time shall you be

ready?”

                “At there,” said dthe wolf. So the little pig went off before the

Time as usual, and got to the fair, and bought a butter-churn,

Which he was going home with, when he saw the wolf coming.

Then he could not tell what to do. So he got into the

Churn to hide, and by so doing turned it round, and it rolled

Down to hide, and by so doing turned it round, anad it rolled

Down the hill with the pig in it, which frightened the wolf so

Much, that he ran home without going to the fair. He went to

The little pig’s house, and told him how frightened he hada

Been by a great round thing which came down the hill past

Him. Then the little pig said:

                “Hah, I frightened you, then. I had been to the fair and

Bought a butter-chirn, and when I saw you, I got into it,

And rolled down the hill”.

                Then the wolf was very angry indeed, and declared he

Would eat up the little pig, and that he would get down the

Chimery after him. When the little pig saw what he was

About, he hung on the pot full of water, and made up a

Blazing fire, and, just as the wolf; so the little pig put on the

cover again in an instant, boiled him up, and ate him for

supper, and lived happy ever afterwards.
