What time do you\nmean to go?\"\n\n\"Oh, at six o'clock.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWell, the little pig got up at five, and got the turnips before the wolf\ncame--which he did about six--and said, \"Little pig, are you ready?\"\n\nThe little pig said, \"Ready! I have been, and come back again, and got\na nice potful for dinner!\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe wolf felt very angry at this, but thought he would be up to the\nlittle pig somehow or other, so he said, \"Little pig, I know where there\nis a nice pear tree.\"\n\n\"Where?\" said the pig.\n\n\"Down at Merry-Garden,\" replied the wolf, \"and if you will not deceive\nme, I will come for you at five o'clock to-morrow, and we will go\ntogether and get some pears.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWell, the little pig bustled up the next morning at four o'clock, and\nwent off for the pears, hoping to get back before the wolf came.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nBut he had further to go, and had to climb the tree, so that, just as\nhe was getting down from it, he saw the wolf coming, which, as you may\nsuppose, frightened him very much.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen the wolf came up he said, \"What! are you here before me? Are they\nnice pears?\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\"Yes, very,\" said the little pig. \"I will throw you down one;\" and he\nthrew it so far that, while the wolf was going to pick it up, the little\npig jumped down and ran home.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThe next day the wolf came again, and said to the little pig, \"Little\npig, there is a Fair at Shanklin this afternoon; will you go?\"\n\n\"Oh, yes,\" said the pig, \"I will be glad to go; what time will you be\nready?\"\n\n\"At three,\" said the wolf.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nSo the little pig went off before the time, as usual, and got to the\nFair, and bought a butter-churn, which he was taking home when he saw\nthe wolf coming.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen he could not tell what to do. So he got into the churn to hide, and\nby doing so turned it over, and it rolled down the hill with the pig in\nit, which frightened the wolf so much that he ran home without going to\nthe fair.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n[Illustration]\n\nHe went to the little pig's house, and told him how he had been\nfrightened by a great round thing which came down the hill past him.\nThen the little pig said, \"Ha! I frightened you then. I had been to\nthe Fair and bought a butter-churn, and when I saw you I got into it\nand rolled down the hill.\"\n\n[Illustration]\n\nThen the wolf was very angry, indeed, and declared he would eat up\nthe little pig, and that he would get down the chimney after him.\n\n[Illustration]\n\nWhen the little pig saw what he was about, he hung on a pot full of\nwater, and made up a blazing fire, and, just as the wolf was coming\ndown, took off the cover, and in fell the wolf! So the little pig put\non the cover again in an instant, boiled up the wolf, and ate him for\nsupper, and lived happy forever afterwards.\n\n[Illustration]\n\n\nThe End.","title":"All About the Three Little Pigs","tradition":"myth-cosmogony","translated_text":null,"word_count":1182}
