Presently came along a Wolf, and knocked \nat the door, and said, &#8222;Little Pig, little Pig, let me come in.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nTo \nwhich the Pig answered, &#8222;No, no, by the hair of my chinny chin chin.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n&#8222;Then I&#8217;ll huff and I&#8217;ll puff, and I&#8217;ll blow your house in!&#8220; said the Wolf. So \nhe huffed and he puffed, and he blew his house in, and ate up the little Pig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nThe second Pig met a Man with a bundle of furze, and said, &#8222;Please, Man, give me \nthat furze to build a house&#8220;; which the Man did, and the Pig built his house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nThen along came the Wolf and said, &#8222;Little Pig, little Pig, let me come in.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n&#8222;No, no, by the hair of my chinny chin chin.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n&#8222;Then I&#8217;ll puff and I&#8217;ll huff, and I&#8217;ll blow your house in!&#8220; So he huffed and he \npuffed, and he puffed and he huffed, and at last he blew the house down, and ate \nup the second little Pig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nThe third little Pig met a Man with a load of bricks, and said, &#8222;Please, Man, \ngive me those bricks to build a house with&#8220;; so the Man gave him the bricks, and \nhe built his house with them. So the Wolf came, as he did to the other little \nPigs, and said, &#8222;Little Pig, little Pig, let me come in.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n&#8222;No, no, by the hair of my chinny chin chin.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n&#8222;Then I&#8217;ll huff and I&#8217;ll puff, and I&#8217;ll blow your house in.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nWell, he huffed and he puffed, and he huffed and he puffed, and he puffed and he \nhuffed; but he could _not_ get the house down. When he found that he could not, \nwith all his huffing and puffing, blow the house down, he said, &#8222;Little Pig, I \nknow where there is a nice field of turnips.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n&#8222;Where?&#8220; said the little Pig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n&#8222;Oh, in Mr. Smith&#8217;s home-field; and if you will be ready to-morrow morning, I \nwill call for you, and we will go together and get some for dinner.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n&#8222;Very well,&#8220; said the little Pig, &#8222;I will be ready. What time do you mean to \ngo?&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n&#8222;Oh, at six o&#8217;clock.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nWell, the little Pig got up at five, and got the turnips and was home again \nbefore six. When the Wolf came he said, &#8222;Little Pig, are you ready?&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n&#8222;Ready!&#8220; said the little Pig, &#8222;I have been and come back again, and got a nice \npot-full for dinner.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nThe Wolf felt very angry at this, but thought that he would be up to the little \nPig somehow or other; so he said, &#8222;Little Pig, I know where there is a nice \napple-tree.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n&#8222;Where?&#8220; said the Pig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n&#8222;Down at Merry-garden,&#8220; replied the Wolf; &#8222;and if you will not deceive me I will \ncome for you, at five o&#8217;clock to-morrow, and we will go together and get some \napples.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nWell, the little Pig woke at four the next morning, and bustled up, and went off \nfor the apples, hoping to get back before the Wolf came; but he had farther to \ngo, and had to climb the tree, so that just as he was coming down from it, he \nsaw the Wolf coming, which, as you may suppose, frightened him very much. When \nthe Wolf came up he said, &#8222;Little Pig, what! are you here before me? Are they \nnice apples?&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n&#8222;Yes, very,&#8220; said the little Pig; &#8222;I will throw you down one.&#8220; And he threw it \nso far that, while the Wolf was gone to pick it up, the little Pig jumped down \nand ran home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nThe next day the Wolf came again, and said to the little Pig, &#8222;Little Pig, there \nis a Fair in the Town this afternoon: will you go?&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n&#8222;Oh, yes,&#8220; said the Pig, &#8222;I will go; what time shall you be ready?&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n&#8222;At three,&#8220; said the Wolf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nSo \nthe little Pig went off before the time, as usual, and got to the Fair, and \nbought a butter churn, and was on his way home with it when he saw the Wolf \ncoming. Then he could not tell what to do. So he got into the churn to hide, and \nin doing so turned it round, and it began to roll, and rolled down the hill with \nthe Pig inside it, which frightened the Wolf so much that he ran home without \ngoing to the Fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nHe \nwent to the little Pig&#8217;s house, and told him how frightened he had been by a \ngreat round thing which came down the hill past him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nThen the little Pig said, &#8222;Hah! I frightened you, did I? I had been to the Fair \nand bought a butter churn, and when I saw you I got into it, and rolled down the \nhill.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nThen the Wolf was very angry indeed, and declared he would eat up the little \nPig, and that he would get down the chimney after him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nWhen the little Pig saw what he was about, he hung on the pot full of water, and \nmade up a blazing fire, and, just as the Wolf was coming down, took off the \ncover of the pot, and in fell the Wolf. And the little Pig put on the cover \nagain in an instant, boiled him up, and ate him for supper, and lived happy ever \nafter.\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4874,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-geschichten"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/internet-maerchen.de\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1052","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/internet-maerchen.de\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/internet-maerchen.de\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/internet-maerchen.de\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/internet-maerchen.de\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1052"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/internet-maerchen.de\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1052\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4875,"href":"https:\/\/internet-maerchen.de\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1052\/revisions\/4875"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/internet-maerchen.de\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/internet-maerchen.de\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1052"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/internet-maerchen.de\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1052"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/internet-maerchen.de\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
