WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:13.948 Welcome to Once Upon a Time Show. It's time for a bedtime story. Hello, little one. Pull your blanket up nice and high, and get cozy. 2 00:00:14.248 --> 00:00:23.800 Tonight's story is a very old one from England. A man named Joseph Jacobs wrote it down a long, long time ago, in a book of English fairy tales. 3 00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:32.921 It's a story about three little pigs, three little houses, and one big wolf who huffs and puffs. Are you ready? Then let's begin. 4 00:00:33.221 --> 00:00:42.223 Once upon a time, when pigs spoke in rhyme, there was a mother pig with three little pigs. They lived together in a small, busy home. 5 00:00:42.523 --> 00:00:51.169 The three little pigs grew bigger and bigger every day. Soon the little home was much too small, and there wasn't enough food for everyone. 6 00:00:51.469 --> 00:01:03.576 So one morning, the mother pig gave each of them a kiss on the nose. My dears, she said, it's time for you to go out into the wide world. Go and build homes of your own. Be good, and be careful. 7 00:01:03.876 --> 00:01:12.696 The three little pigs waved goodbye. Off they went down the road, trit, trot, trit, trot. Their little curly tails bounced behind them. 8 00:01:18.996 --> 00:01:31.648 The first little pig met a man with a big bundle of straw. Please, man, said the little pig, may I have that straw to build me a house? The man said yes, and the little pig built a house of straw. 9 00:01:31.948 --> 00:01:39.035 It was soft and yellow, and it was finished by lunchtime. Then the first little pig sat down for a nice nap. 10 00:01:39.335 --> 00:01:51.655 The second little pig met a man with a bundle of sticks. Please, man, may I have those sticks to build me a house? The man said yes, and soon there was a little house of sticks, all crooked and cozy. 11 00:01:51.955 --> 00:02:01.131 But along the road came a wolf. A big, grey, hungry wolf. He knocked on the straw house. Little pig, little pig, let me come in! 12 00:02:01.431 --> 00:02:10.827 No, no, said the first little pig, not by the hair of my chinny chin chin! Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in! said the wolf. 13 00:02:11.127 --> 00:02:22.758 So he huffed, and he puffed, and whoosh! The straw flew everywhere. But the first little pig was quick. He ran as fast as his little legs could go, all the way to the house of sticks. 14 00:02:23.058 --> 00:02:31.439 Then the wolf came to the house of sticks. Little pig, little pig, let me come in! No, no, not by the hair of our chinny chin chins! 15 00:02:31.739 --> 00:02:42.347 So the wolf huffed, and he puffed, and he puffed, and he huffed, and crash! Down came the sticks. Out ran the two little pigs, as fast as they could, down the road. 16 00:02:48.647 --> 00:03:00.789 Now, the third little pig had met a man with a load of bricks. Please, man, may I have those bricks to build me a house? So the man gave him the bricks, and he built a strong, solid house. 17 00:03:01.089 --> 00:03:12.463 It had thick red walls, a heavy wooden door, and a tall chimney on top. Knock, knock, knock! Quick, let us in! cried his two brothers. And in they ran, and he shut the door tight. 18 00:03:12.763 --> 00:03:23.627 Soon the wolf came along. Little pig, little pig, let me come in! No, no, not by the hair of my chinny chin chin! Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in! 19 00:03:23.927 --> 00:03:37.009 Well, he huffed, and he puffed, and he huffed, and he puffed, until his cheeks were round and red. But the house of bricks didn't move. Not one bit. The three little pigs stayed safe and warm inside. 20 00:03:42.309 --> 00:03:52.151 The wolf sat down to think. If he couldn't blow the house down, maybe he could trick the little pig into coming out. So he called through the door, in his nicest voice. 21 00:03:52.451 --> 00:04:03.141 Little pig, I know where there's a lovely field of turnips, in Mr. Smith's field. I'll come for you at six o'clock tomorrow, and we can go together. Very well, said the little pig. 22 00:04:03.441 --> 00:04:12.262 But the little pig was clever. He got up at five o'clock and ran to the field. He filled his pot with turnips, and he was home again before the wolf came. 23 00:04:12.562 --> 00:04:22.404 At six o'clock the wolf knocked. Little pig, are you ready? Ready? laughed the little pig. I've been and come back again, and I have a whole potful for dinner! 24 00:04:22.704 --> 00:04:31.866 The wolf was cross. Little pig, he said, I know where there's a nice apple tree, down at Merry Garden. I'll come for you at five o'clock tomorrow. 25 00:04:32.166 --> 00:04:42.949 So the little pig got up at four o'clock and ran off for the apples. But the tree was far away, and he had to climb up high. Just as he was climbing down, he saw the wolf coming! 26 00:04:43.249 --> 00:04:57.735 Are they nice apples? asked the wolf. Yes, very nice, said the little pig. I'll throw you one! And he threw an apple so far that the wolf had to run to fetch it. While he was gone, the little pig jumped down and ran all the way home. 27 00:04:58.035 --> 00:05:09.475 The next day, the wolf came again. Little pig, there's a fair in town this afternoon. Will you come? Oh yes, said the little pig. What time? At three, said the wolf. 28 00:05:09.775 --> 00:05:22.346 So the little pig went early, as always. At the fair he bought a butter churn. That's a big, round wooden barrel for making butter. He was carrying it home, up on the hill, when he saw the wolf coming. 29 00:05:22.646 --> 00:05:34.578 What should he do? Quick as a wink, he climbed inside the churn to hide. But the churn tipped over! Round it went, rolling down the hill, bumpity, bumpity, bump, with the little pig inside. 30 00:05:34.878 --> 00:05:44.941 The wolf saw a big round thing rolling towards him. He got such a fright! He turned around and ran all the way home, and he never got to the fair at all. 31 00:05:45.241 --> 00:05:54.591 Later, the wolf told the little pig about the scary round thing. The little pig giggled. That was me! I was inside the butter churn, rolling down the hill! 32 00:06:00.891 --> 00:06:09.247 Now the wolf was very cross indeed. I'll climb down the chimney, he said, and I'll get that little pig! And up onto the roof he climbed. 33 00:06:09.547 --> 00:06:22.153 But the little pigs heard him on the roof. Scritch, scratch, scritch. Quick, said the third little pig. Help me with the big pot! The three brothers set a huge pot of cold water right under the chimney. 34 00:06:22.453 --> 00:06:33.765 Down, down, down came the wolf, and splash! He landed right in the cold water, up to his nose. Brrr! Oh, brrr! cried the wolf. That's too cold for me! 35 00:06:34.065 --> 00:06:45.951 He jumped out, all dripping wet. Then he ran out of the door, up the hill, and far, far away into the woods. And he never, ever came back to bother the three little pigs again. 36 00:06:52.251 --> 00:07:00.770 The three little pigs laughed and hugged. Then they cooked the turnips and the apples. They had a big, happy supper together in the house of bricks. 37 00:07:01.070 --> 00:07:14.360 The first little pig said, Next time, I'll build with bricks too. And the second little pig said, So will I. And they did. Before long, there were three strong houses, side by side, on the hill. 38 00:07:14.660 --> 00:07:20.718 And on Sundays, they visited their mother, who was very proud of her three clever little pigs. 39 00:07:28.018 --> 00:07:37.012 And now the house of bricks is quiet. The fire is low, and the three little pigs are tucked up in their beds, snug and warm. 40 00:07:37.312 --> 00:07:47.382 Outside, the moon is shining on the hill, and the wind is soft and gentle. Nobody is huffing, and nobody is puffing. Everything is still. 41 00:07:47.682 --> 00:07:56.759 Close your eyes now, little one. You're safe and warm, just like the three little pigs. Goodnight from Once Upon a Time Show. Sweet dreams.
