+THE STORY OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS.
+
+
+Once upon a time there was an old Sow with three little Pigs,
+and as she had not enough to 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 Pig built 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 chinny chin chin."
+
+"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 blew his house
+in, and ate up the little Pig.
+
+The second 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 chinny chin chin."
+
+"Then 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 huffed, and at last he blew
+the house down, and ate up the second 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 chinny 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 he 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, "Little 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 to-morrow
+morning, I will call for you, and we will go together and get some for
+dinner."
+
+"Very well," said the little Pig, "I will be 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 and was home
+again before six. When the Wolf came he said, "Little Pig, are you
+ready?"
+
+"Ready!" said the little Pig, "I have been and come back again, and got
+a nice pot-full for dinner."
+
+The Wolf felt very angry at this, but thought that he would be _up to_
+the little Pig somehow or 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 to-morrow, and we will go
+together and get some apples."
+
+Well, the little Pig woke at four the next morning, and bustled up, and
+went off for the apples, hoping to get back before the Wolf came; but
+he had farther to go, and had to climb the tree, so that just as he was
+coming down from 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 Wolf 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 in the Town this afternoon: will you go?"
+
+"Oh, yes," said the Pig, "I will go; what time shall you be ready?"
+
+"At three," said the Wolf.
+
+So the little Pig went off before the time, as usual, and got to the
+Fair, and bought a butter churn, and was on his way home with it when he
+saw the Wolf coming. Then he could not tell what to do. So he got into
+the churn to hide, and in doing so turned it round, and it began to
+roll, and rolled down the hill with the Pig inside 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 had
+been by a great round thing which came down the hill past him.
+
+Then the little Pig said, "Hah! I frightened you, did I? I had been to
+the Fair and bought a butter churn, 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 chimney 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 was coming
+down, took off the cover of the pot, and in fell the Wolf. And the
+little Pig put on the cover again in an instant, boiled him up, and ate
+him for supper, and lived happy ever after.
