The Three Little Pigs / Три поросенка и другие сказки

So the second little pig was very pleased and built his house out of sticks.[5 - built his house out of sticks – построил свой дом из ветвей] This was a little bit stronger[6 - a little bit stronger – немного прочнее] than a straw house. Then last of all the third little pig set out and met a man with load of bricks. “Please, man,” he said, “will you let me have that load of bricks to build my house?”

“Yes, here they are, all for you,” said the kind man. The third little pig was very pleased and built his house out of bricks.

[7 - built his house out of bricks – построил свой дом из камней]

One night the big bad wolf, who dearly loved to eat fat little piggies, came along and saw the first little pig in his new house of straw. The wolf knocked on the door, and said, “Let me in, let me in, little pig or I’ll huff and I’ll puff[8 - I’ll huff and I’ll puff – я возьму и дуну] and I’ll blow your house in![9 - I’ll blow your house in! – Я сдую твой дом!]”

“No, not by the hair of my chinny chin chin,[10 - Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin! – Не получится, клянусь своей бородой!] I’ll not let you in!” said the little pig.

“Now I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house down,” cried the wolf.

And of course[11 - of course – конечно] the wolf did blow the house in and ate the first little pig.

The wolf then came to the house of sticks and knocked at the door. “Little pig, little pig,” he said, “open up your door and let me in!”

Now the second little pig remembered what his mother had told him, so he too said, “No, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin, I’ll not let you in.”

“Now I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house down!” cried the wolf. But the little pig went on saying, “No, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin, I’ll not let you in.

” So again the old wolf huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed, this time it was much harder work, but finally down came the house. The wolf blew that house in too, and ate the second little pig.

The wolf then came to the house of bricks and again he said. “Little pig, little pig, open your door and let me in!”

But like his brothers the third little pig said, “No, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin, I’ll not let you in.
