k their fortune. The first that went off met a man with a bundle of straw, and said to him:-- "Good man, give me that straw to build me a house." The man gave the straw, and the little pig built his house with it. Presently came along a wolf, and knocked at the door, and said:-- "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." But the pig answered:-- "No, no, by the hair of my chiny-chin-chin." So the wolf said:-- "Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in." So he huffed, and he puffed, and he blew his house in, and ate up the little pig. The second little pig met a man with a bundle of furze, and said:-- "Good man, give me that furze to build me a house." The man gave the furze, and the pig built his house. Then once more came the wolf, and said: "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." "No, no, by the hair of my chiny-chin-chin." "Then I'll puff, and I'll huff, and I'll blow your house in."

Finding 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 field, and if you will be ready to-morrow morning we will go together, and get some for dinner." "Very well," said the little pig. "What time do you mean to go?" "Oh, at six o'clock." So the little pig got up at five, and got the turnips before the wolf came crying:-- "Little pig, are you ready?" The little pig said: "Ready! I have been and come back again, and got a nice potful for dinner." The wolf felt very angry at this, but thought that he would be a match for the little pig somehow or other, so he said:-- "Little pig, I know where there is a nice apple-tree." "Where?" said the pig. "Down at Merry-garden," replied the wolf, "and if you will not
