day"
You had better get up and let me in,
said the old bear, or I'll tear your house
down and eat you up
"Oh, pshaw p said the little pig; you
can't tear my house down. If you think
you can, Just go to work and do it."
Then the old bear commenced biting and
scratching at the hollow tree, and he
worked there all night, but he could not
get in, and in the morning he went of
| home feeling very sore and savage.
| When he went away the little pig went
out and got all the nuts and acorns he
wanted, and at dark crept back into his
hollow tree. Pretty soon he heard a knock
at his door-tap, tap, tap. Who's there?'
said the little pig.

| well. what do you want now -
ooh y said the old bear, Il just thought
l would come over and tell you about a
nice pumpkin field | know of, where we
can go and get all the pumpkins we can
eat"
Now the little pig had got taste of
pumpkins once or twice in his life, and
| liked them very much. So he asked the
old bear where the pumpkin field was, and
the old bear told him.
| "All right said the little pig; you
| come over tomorrow after breakfast and
| I'll go with you to get some of those
pumpkins"
Then the old bear went home, and the
little pig went to sleep, but he woke up
very early in the morning and went to the
pumpkin-tield and ate all the pumpkin he
! could swallow, and then ran back to his
hollow tree and crept inside.
Pretty soon he heard knock at his door
tap, tap, tap.
Who's there said the little pig.
ats me-" said the old bear I've
| come to go with you after those pump
kins."
"Oh, pshaw - said the little pig; I
| don't want any more pumpkins. | had all
the pumpkins could eat more than an
| hour ago"
Then the old bear saw he had been
| fooled, and he went home madden than
ever.
But he thought he would try another
I trick, and that night soon after the little
pig went to bed he heard a knocking at his
| door again-tap, tap, tap,
"Who'S there?' said the little pig.
Its ME, said the old bear
| "Well, what do you want this time?"
| "Oh " said the old bear, Just thought
l would come over and tell you about a
nice orchard that | know of where We can
90 and get all the apples we can eat
Now the little pig had once tasted an APP
pie, and liked it better than anything in
| the world. So he asked the old bear where
the orchard was. and the old bear told him.
" All right" said the little pig, YOU come
over tomorrow morning after breakfast
and I'll go with you and get some Of those
apples,
Then the old bear went home and the
little pig went to sleep, but he awoke up
very early in the morning and went off to
the orchard and ate all the apples he could
swallow, and then ran back to his hollow
tree and crept inside
Pretty soon he heard knock at his door
tap, tap, tap.
Who's there" said the little pig.
It's me, ," said the old bear, I've come
to go with you after those apples
ooh, pshaw! !" said the little pig, Il
don't want any more apples. I had all
the apples l could eat more than an hour
ago"
Then the old bear saw he had been fooled
again and he went home madder than
ever.
But he thought the matter over and con-
Guided to try still another trick; and Sc
| that night, soon after the little pig went to
bed, he heard knock at his door-tap, tap
tap.
It's me, said the'old bear.
"Well, what do you want now? What
are you coming around here every night
| for"
Oh said the old bear, " l just thought
| would come over and see you about an
auction there's going to be tomorrow
where we can go and buy everything We
want"
Now, the little pig was very anxious &c
! get a churn. Nobody has ever known what
he wanted to do with the churn, but he die
want it. So he asked the old bear where
the auction was to be, and the old bear told
him.
"An right" said the little pig; you
come over tomorrow morning after break
| fast. and I'll go with you to that auction.
|
| little pig went to sleep. But he woke up
very early in the morning and went off to
the auction to buy his churn.
But when he got to the auction they
were not selling churns, and he had to
wait long time before he got chance to
buy one When at last a churn was put
up for sale the little pig bought it and
started home in great hurry, carrying his
churn with him But it was then pretty
late in the morning, and when he got TO
the top of the hill from which he could
see his hollow tree, there he saw the old
bear sitting right by his door waiting for
him.
Then the little pig was scared. He
thought his time had como to be eaten up,
and at first he did not know what to do.
| But at last he thought Of q trick to play on
the old bear So he laid his churn down
and crept inside of it and started it rolling
down the hill. AS it came rolling and
tumbling along with the little pig inside of
| it, and making Il great noise, the old bear
heard it, and looked up and saw it coming.
| He had never seen anything like it before,
and it scared him SO that he started to run
away; and he run so fast he did not see
which way he was going; and he struck
| his head against a tree and broke his neck,
and killed himself dead
And the little pig never had any more
trouble.
