been by a great found thing
Then the little pig said, "Ha, I frightened you, then. I had been to the fair and bought a butter churn, and when I saw you,
I got into it, and rolled down the hill."
Then the wolf was very angry indeed, and declared he would eat up the little pig, and that he would get down the
chimney after him. When the little pig saw what he was about, he hung on the pot full of water,
and made up a
blazing
fire, and, just as the wolf was coming down, took off the cover, and in fell the wolf, so
the little pig put on the cover
again
in an instant, boiled him up, and ate him for supper, and lived happy ever afterwards.
