• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Little Pigs retold with drawings by L. Leslie Brooke. Once
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: upon a time there was an old sow with three
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: little pigs, and as she had not enough to keep them,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: she sent them out to seek their fortune. The first
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that went off met a man with a bundle of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: straw and said to him, please, man, give me that
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: straw to build me a house, which the man did,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and the little pig built a house with it. Presently
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: came along a wolf and knocked at the door, and said,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: little pig, little pig, let me come in, to which
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the pig answered no, no, by the hair of my
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: chinny chin chin. Then i'll huff and i'll puff, and
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I'll blow your house in, said the wolf. So he
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: huffed and he puffed, and he blew his house in
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and ate up the little pig. The second pig met
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a man with a bundle of furs, and said, please, man,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: give me that furs to build a house, which the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: man did, and the pig built his house. Then along
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: came the wolf and said, little pig, little pig, let
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: me come in, no, no, by the hair of my
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: chinny chin chin. Then i'll puff and i'll huff, and
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: i'll blow your house in. So he huffed and he puffed,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and he puffed and hoffed, and at last he blew
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the house down and ate up the second little pig.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: The third little pig met a man with a load
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: of bricks and said, please, man, give me those bricks
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to build a house with. So the man gave him
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the bricks, and he built his house with them. So
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the wolf came, as he did to the other little pigs,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and said, little pig, little pig, let me come in, no, no,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: by the hair of my chinny chin chin. Then I'll
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: huff and i'll puff, and i'll blow your house in. Well,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: he huffed and he puffed, and he huffed, and he puffed,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and he puffed and he huffed, but he could not
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: get the house down. When he found that he could not,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: with all his huffing and puffing, blow the house down,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: he said, little pig, I know where there is a
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: nice field of turnips. Where, said the little pig, oh
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: in mister Smith's home field. And if you will be
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: ready tomorrow morning, I will call for you and we
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: will go together and get some for dinner. Very well,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: said the little pig, I will be ready. What time
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: do you mean to go? Oh? At six o'clock. Well,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the little pig got up at five and got the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: turnips and was home again before six. When the wolf came,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: he said, little pig, are you ready ready? Said the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: little pig. I have been and come back again and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: got a nice pot full for dinner. The wolf felt
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: very angry at this, but thought that he would be
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: up to the little pig somehow or other, and so
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: he said, little pig, I know where there is a
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: nice apple tree? Where, said the pig. Down at Merry Garden,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: replied the wolf. And if you will not deceive me,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I will come for you at five o'clock tomorrow and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: we will go together and get some apples. Well, the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: little pig woke at four the next morning and bustled
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: up and went off for the apples, hoping to get
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: back before the wolf came. But he had farther to
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: go and had to climb the tree, so that just
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: as he was coming down from it, he saw the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: wolf coming, which, as you may suppose, frightened him very much.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: When the wolf came up, he said, little pig, what
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: are you here before me? Are they nice apples? Yes,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: very said the little pig. I will throw you down one,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and he threw it so far that while the wolf
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: was gone to pick it up, the little pig jumped
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: down and ran home. The next day, the wolf came
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: again and said to the little pig, Little pig, there
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: is a fair in the town this afternoon. Will you go? Oh? Oh, yes,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: said the pig, I will go. What time shall you
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: be ready? At three? Said the wolf. So the little
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: pig went off before the time as usual, and got
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to the fair and bought a butter churn and was
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: on his way home with it when he saw the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: wolf coming. Then he could not tell what to do,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: so he got into the urn to hide, and in
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: doing so turned it round, and it began to roll
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and roll down the hill with the pig inside it,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: which frightened the wolf so much that he ran home
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: without going to the fair. He went to the little
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Pig's house and told him how frightened he had been
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: by a great round thing, which came down the hill
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: past him. Then the little pig said, ah, I frightened
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you did? I? I had been to the fair and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: bought a butter churn, and when I saw you, I
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: got into it and rolled down the hill. Then the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: wolf was very angry indeed, and declared he would eat
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: up the little pig, and that he would get down
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the chimney after him. The little pig saw what he
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: was about. He hung on the pot full of water
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and made up a blazing fire, and just as the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: wolf was coming down, took off the cover of the pot,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and in fell the wolf, and the little pig put
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: on the cover again in an instant, boiled him up
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and ate him for supper, and lived happily ever after.
