Reading Notes: English Fairy Tales Part A
In a land where animals acted like humans, there were three pigs and a mother pig. The first pig ventured out and found a man with a large bushel of straw. The pig bartered for this straw then build a house with it. A big bad wolf came around and asked the pig to let him in. The pig said no so he huffed and he puffed and he blew his house down. Then wolf ate the pig. Second pig went out and he found a man with lots of Furze. so he bartered with the man, and build a house. The wolf again came down and asked to be let in. The pig said no so he blew his house down and ate him. The third pig came across the man with a load of bricks. He bartered with the man, and built a house out of bricks. The wolf once again came to the pigs house and asked to come in. The pig said no and the wolf tried but failed to blow the house down. So he tried to trick the pig into coming out. He said he knew that a farmer's field across the way had turnips and he would love to take pig there for a meal. They agreed on a time the next day, but big went before to eat and come back. The wolf was angry at this and tried once again to lure the pig out with promise of a good meal. He told of an apple tree down the way. The pig went earlier than agreed to the apple tree but became stuck when wolf showed up. He distracted wolf by throwing an apple far away, then he ran home. The wolf again tried to get the pig out of the house by telling him about a town fair. Pig went to this fair and bought a butter churn. On the way home he saw wolf, so he got inside the butter churn and rolled past wolf scaring him off. Wolf became so angry when he was told about this that he started to come down the chimney. Pig started a pot of water with a raging fire underneath. Wolf fell in and was boiled alive then eaten for dinner and pig lived happily ever after.
