"No, no," said the little pig. "By the hair of my chinny chin chin, I will not let you 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.
The next day the wolf walked further along the road. He came to the house of bricks which the third little pig had built.
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."
"No, no," said the little pig. "By the hair of my chinny chin chin, I will not let you 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. |
The wolf was very angry, but he pretended not to be. He thought, "This is a clever little pig. If I want to catch him I must pretend to be his friend."
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."
"Very well," said the little pig. But the third little pig was a clever little pig. He knew that the wolf just wanted to eat him.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. |
At six o'clock the wolf knocked on the little pig's door. "Are you ready, little pig ?" he said.
"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.
Then the wolf said, "If you will be ready at five o'clock in the morning, I will take you to Farmer Brown's apple tree. We will pick some red apples."
"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.
The little pig was very frightened, but he pretended not to be. He said, "These are fine apples, Mr. Wolf. I'll throw you one."
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.
When the wolf heard this he was very, very, very angry indeed.
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 wolf climbed on the roof. Then he began to come down the chimney.
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.
