The second little pig also met a man, and _he_ was carrying a bundle
of furze; so piggy said politely: "Please, kind man, will you give me
that furze to build me a house?"
The man agreed, and piggy set to work to build himself a snug little
house before the night came on. It was scarcely finished when the wolf
came along, and said: "Little pig, little pig, let me come in."
"No, no, by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin," answered the second
little pig.
"Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in!" said the
wolf. So he huffed and he puffed, and he puffed, and he huffed, and at
last he blew the house in, and gobbled the little pig up in a trice.
Now, the third little pig met a man with a load of bricks and mortar,
and he said: "Please, man, will you give me those bricks to build a
house with?"
So the man gave him the bricks and mortar, and a little trowel as
well, and the little pig built himself a nice strong little house. As
soon as it was finished the wolf came to call, just as he had done to
the other little pigs, and said: "Little pig, little pig, let me in!"
But the little pig answered: "No, no, by the hair of my
chinny-chin-chin."
"Then," said the wolf, "I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your
house in.
