The Three Little Pigs

By Paul Galdone

Narrator: Once upon a time there was an old sow with three little pigs. She had no money to keep them, so she sent them off to seek their fortune. The first little pig met a man with a bundle of straw, and said to him:

Pig 1: Please, man, give me that straw to build me a house. (Innocently)

Narrator: So the man did, and the little pig built his house with it.

Along came a wolf. He knocked at the door, and said:

Wolf: Little pig, little pig, let me come in. (persuasively)

Pig 1: No, no, (with fright) Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin! (loud and proud)

Wolf: Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in (Loud and Blow)

Narrator: so the wolf huffed, and he puffed and he blew the house in. And he ate up the first little pig. (sadly)

The second little pig met a man with a bundle of sticks, and said:

Pig 2: Please, man, give me those sticks to build me a house.

Narrator: So the man did, and the little pig built his house with them.

Then, along came the wolf, and said:

Wolf: Little pig, little pig, let me come in. (persuasively)

Pig 2: No, no, (with fright) Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin! (loud and proud)

Wolf: Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in (Loud and Blow)

Narrator: So he huffed, and he puffed, and he huffed, and he puffed, and at last he blew the house in. And he ate up the second little pig. (sadly)

The third little pig met a man with a load of bricks and said:

Pig 3: Please, man, give me those bricks to build me a house. (Innocently)

Narrator: So the man did, and the little pig built his house with them.

Soon the same wolf came along, and said:

Wolf: Little pig, little pig let me come in. (persuasively)

Pig 3: No, no! Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin. (Loud and Proud)

Wolf: Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in. (Loud and Blow)

Narrator: Well, he huffed, and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed. But…. He could NOT blow the house in!

At last the wolf stopped huffing and puffing, and said:

Wolf: (out of breath) little pig, I know where there is a nice field of turnips.

Pig 3: Where? (curiously)

Wolf: On Mr. Smith’s farm. I will come for you tomorrow morning. We will go together and get some turnips for dinner.

Pig 3: Very well. What time will you come?

Wolf: Oh, at six o’clock

Narrator: Well the little e pig got up at five and got the turnips before wolf came to his house.

Wolf: Little pig, are you ready?

Pig 3: READY!

I have come back again and I got a nice potful of turnips for my dinner.

Narrator: The wolf was very anger. But then he thought of another way to get the little pig, so he said:

Wolf: Little pig, I know where there is a nice apple tree.

Pig 3: Where?

Wolf: Down at Merry Garden. I will come for you at five o’clock tomorrow morning and we will get some apples.

Narrator: Well, the little pig got up the next morning at four o’clock, and went off for the apples. He wanted to get back home before the wolf came. But it was a long way to Merry Garden, and then he had to climb the tree. Just as he was climbing back down with his basket full of apples, he saw
