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 theirfortune.

The first that went off met a Man with a bundle of straw, and said tohim, "Please, Man, give me that straw to build me a house"; which theMan did, and the little Pig built a house with it. Presently came alonga Wolf, and knocked at the door, and said, "Little Pig, little Pig, letme 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 housein!" said the Wolf. So he huffed and he puffed, and he blew his housein, 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 Pigbuilt his house.

Then along came the Wolf and said, "Little Pig, little Pig, let me comein."

"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 hehuffed and he puffed, and he puffed and he huffed, and at last he blewthe 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 himthe bricks, and he built his house with them. So the Wolf came, as hedid to the other little Pigs, and said, "Little Pig, little Pig, let mecome in."
