the wolf came as he had come 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.” And he huffed and he puffed, and he puffed and he huffed, and hẹ huffed and he puffed, but he could not blow down the house. So he said: "Little pig, I know where there is a nice field of turnips." "Where?" said the pig. Oh, in Smith's Home-field; and if you will be ready to-morrow morning at six o'clock, I will call for you, and we will go together and get some for dinner." "Very well," said the pig; "I will be ready." But the little pig got up at five and got the turnips before the wolf came (as he did about six) and said: “Little pig, are you ready?" The little pig said: "Ready! I've been and come back again, and got a nice potful for dinner." The wolf felt very angry at this, but thought that he would get even with the little pig somehow or other. So he said: "Little pig, I know where there is a nice apple tree." "Where?" asked the pig. "Oh, 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 get some apples."

Are they nice apples?" "Yes," said the pig. "Shall I 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 at Shanklin this afternoon. Will you go?" 66 Oh, yes!" said the pig; "I will go. What time shall you be ready?" At three," said the wolf. So the pig went before the time, as usual, and got to the fair and bought a butter churn. He was going home with it when he saw the wolf coming. So he crept into the churn to hide, and by so doing he turned it round and round, and it rolled down the hill with the pig in it, which frightened the wolf so that he ran home without going to the fair. He went to the pig's house and told him how frightened he had been by a great round thing which came downhill past him. Then the little pig said: "Ah! I frightened you then, I did. I had been to the fair, and when I saw you I got into the churn and rolled downhill." Then the wolf was very angry indeed, and declared that he would eat up the little pig anyhow, and that he would get down the chimney after him. When the pig saw what danger he was in, he hung a potful of water and |
