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 the wolf coming!

Wolf: Little pig! You got here before me! Are the apples nice?

Pig3: Yes, very! I will throw you one down to you.

Narrator: And he threw the apple as far as he could throw. While the wolf ran to pick it up, the
little pig jumped down and ran home.
The next day the wolf came again and said to the little pig:

Wolf: Little pig, there is a fair at Shanklin this afternoon. Would you like to go?

Pig3: Oh, yes. When will you come to get me?

Narrator: Well, the little pig went off at two o’clock and bought a butter churn at the fair.
He was going home with it when he saw the wolf coming! The little pig jumped into the
butter churn to hide. The churn fell over and rolled down the hill with the little pig in it! This
frightened the wolf so much that he turned around and ran home.
Later the wolf went to the little pig’s house and told him what had happened.

Wolf: A great round thing came rolling down the hill right at me!

Pig 3: Hah, I frightened you then! I went to the fair and bought a butter churn. When I saw you, I
got into it, and rolled down the hill!!!

Narrator: The wolf was very angry indeed!

Wolf: I’m going to climb down your chimney and eat you up!!!

Narrator: When the little pig heard the wolf on the roof he hung up a pot full of water in the
fireplace. Then he built a blazing fire! Just as the wolf was coming down the chimney, the little pig
took the cover off the pot, and in fell the wolf.
The little pig quickly put on the cover again, boiled up the wolf, and ate him for supper.

And the little pig lived happily ever afterward.
