At two o'clock the little pig set off for the fair. He had great fun, riding on the swings and roundabouts. Then he bought himself a butter churn. It looked like a big barrel. As little pig was going home he saw the wolf coming up the hill. Little pig was very frightened, so he jumped inside his butter churn.

The butter churn began to roll over and over, down the hill. It rolled faster and faster. It knocked the wolf down. The wolf did not know what had knocked him down. He was so frightened that he ran away as quickly as he could. Little pig jumped out of his butter churn and carried it home.

The next day the wolf came and knocked on the little pig's door. He said, "Little pig, I did not go to the fair yesterday. A great, big thing came rolling down the hill and knocked me over." "Ha-ha!" said the little pig. "That was me, inside my butter churn!"

When the wolf heard this he was very, very, very angry indeed. He said, "Little pig, I am going to eat you up. I am going to climb down your chimney to get you." The little pig was very frightened, but he said nothing. He put a big pot of water on the fire, to boil.

The wolf climbed on the roof. Then he began to come down the chimney. The little pig took off the lid from the pot. Into the pot fell the wolf, with a big splash. And that was the end of the wolf. The third little pig was too clever for him.
