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 chiny 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 zof 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 before
the wolf came—(which he did about six)—and who said, “ Little
pig, are you ready ?”

The little pig said, “Ready! 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.
