t, Huge Bear out of its place.
"SOMEBODY HAS BEEN LYING IN MY BED!" said the Great, Huge Bear, in his
great, rough, gruff voice.
And Goldenlocks had pulled the bolster of the Middle Bear out of its
place.
"SOMEBODY HAS BEEN LYING IN MY BED!" said the Middle Bear, in her middle
voice.
And when the Little, Small, Wee Bear came to look at his bed, there was
the bolster in its place; and the pillow in its place upon the bolster;
and upon the pillow was the head of Goldenlocks--which was not in its
place, for she had no business there.
"SOMEBODY HAS BEEN LYING IN MY BED--AND HERE SHE IS!" said the Little,
Small, Wee Bear, in his little, small, wee voice.
Goldenlocks had heard in her sleep the great, rough, gruff voice of the
Great, Huge Bear, and the middle voice of the Middle Bear, but it was only
as if she had heard someone speaking in a dream. But when she heard the
little, small, wee voice of the Little, Small, Wee Bear, it was so sharp,
and so shrill, that it awakened her at once. Up she started; and when she
saw the Three Bears on one side of the bed she tumbled herself out at the
other, and ran to the window. Now the window was open, because the Bears,
like good, tidy Bears, as they were, always opened their bedchamber window
when they got up in the morning. Out Goldenlocks jumped, and ran away as
fast as she could run--never looking behind her; and what happened to her
afterwards I cannot tell. But the Three Bears never saw anything more of
her.
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 their fortune.
The first that went off met a Man with a bundle of straw, and said to him,
"Please, Man, give me that straw to build me a house"; which the Man did,
and the little Pig built a house with it. Presently came along a Wolf, and
knocked at the door, and said, "Little Pig, little Pig, let me 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 house in!" said the
Wolf. So he huffed, and he puffed, and he blew his house in, 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 Pig built
his house. Then along came the Wolf and said, "Little Pig, little Pig, let
me come in."
"No, no, by the hair of
