1
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep tight stories. In this story,

2
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: a new white pig comes to the farm, and all

3
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: the small pigs are curious about her. They run over

4
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: to see her getting taken out of the crate, but

5
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: don't talk to her or stay to play with her

6
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: before running back. After a while, they call to the

7
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: white pig and then go over to play with her

8
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: and make friends the lonely little pig. One day, the

9
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: brown hog called to her twelve young pigs and their

10
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: ten older brothers and sisters, Look, look what is in

11
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: that cage. The twenty two stubby snouts that were thrust

12
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: through the opening of the rail fence were quivering with

13
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: eagerness and impatience. Their owners wished to know all that

14
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: was happening, and the old mother's eyes were not so

15
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: sharp as they had once been, so if the pigs

16
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: wanted to know the news, they must stop their routing

17
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 1: to find it out. Bits of the soft brown earth

18
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: clung to their snouts and trembled as they breathed. It

19
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: looks like a pig, they said, only it is white.

20
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: It is a pig. Then grunted their mother as she

21
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: lay in the shade of an oak tree. There are

22
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: white pigs, brown pigs, black pigs, and mix of brown

23
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: and black. No matter the color, we are all pigs.

24
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: Brown is more to my taste, brown or black. Your

25
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: father was brown and black, and a finer looking hog

26
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: I never saw. And she buried her eyes in the

27
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: loose earth. The pigs looked at her, and then at

28
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: each other. They did not often speak of their father. Indeed,

29
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: the younger ones did not remember him at all. One

30
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: of the cows said he had such a bad temper

31
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: that the farmer sent him away to a place where

32
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: they send bad tempered pigs. While they were thinking of this,

33
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: and feeling rather sad, the wagon turned into their lane,

34
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: and they could plainly see the pig in side. She

35
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: was white, and quite beautiful in her piggish way. Her

36
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: ears stood up stiffly, her snout was as stubby as

37
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: though it had been broken off. Her eyes were very small,

38
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: and her tail had the right curl. When she squealed,

39
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: they could see her sharp teeth. And when she put

40
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: her feet up on the wooden bars of her rough cage,

41
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: they noticed the fine hoofs of the two big toes

42
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: of each foot, and the two little toes high on

43
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: the back of her legs, each with its tiny hoof.

44
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: She was riding in great style, and it is no

45
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: wonder that the twenty two brown pigs with black spots

46
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: and black feet opened their eyes very wide. They did

47
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: not know that the farmer brought her in this way,

48
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: because he was in a hurry, and pigs will not

49
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: move quickly when the farmers want them to. She's coming here,

50
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: the brown pigs cried, Oh, mother, she's coming here. We're

51
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: going to see the men take her out of the box.

52
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: The older hog grunted and staggered to her feet to

53
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: go with them, but she was big and slow, so

54
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: that by the time she was fairly standing, they were

55
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: far down the field and running helter skelter by the

56
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: side of the fence. As she stared dully after them,

57
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: she could see the twenty two curly tails bobbing along,

58
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: and she heard the soft patter of eighty eight sharp

59
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: little double hoofs on the earth. She grunted, what I am,

60
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm too late to go. Never mind, they will tell

61
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: me all about it, and I can take a nap.

62
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: I haven't slept enough today and I need a rest.

63
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: Just as the mother hog lay down again, the men

64
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: lifted the white pig from the wagon cage, and all

65
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: so she began to squeal. And she squealed and squealed,

66
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: and squealed and squealed until she was set free in

67
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: the field with the brown pigs. Nobody had touched her,

68
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: and she was unhurt, but it was all so strange

69
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: and new that she thought it would make her feel

70
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: better to squeal. When she was out of her cage

71
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: and in the field, she planted her hoofs firmly in

72
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: the ground, looked squad rarely at the brown pigs, and

73
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: grunted a pleasant, good natured grunt. The brown pigs planted

74
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: their hoofs in the ground and grunted and stared. They

75
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: didn't ask her to go rooting with them, and not

76
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: one of the ten big pigs or the twelve little

77
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: pigs said, we are glad to see you. There is

78
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: no telling how long they would have stood there if

79
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: the horses had not turned the wagon just then. The

80
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: minute the wheels began to grate on the side of

81
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: the box, every brown pig whirled around and ran off.

82
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: The poor little white pig did not know what to

83
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: make of it. She knew that she had not done

84
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: anything wrong. She wondered if they didn't mean to speak

85
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:05,559
Speaker 1: to her. At first, she thought she would run after

86
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: them and ask to root with them. But then she

87
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: remembered something her mother had told her when she was

88
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: so young that she was pink. It was this, when

89
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: you don't know what to do, go to sleep. So

90
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: she lay down and took a nap. The brown pigs

91
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: did not awaken their mother, and when they stopped in

92
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: the fence corner, one of them said to the big sister,

93
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: what made you run? Oh? Nothing, she said, And why

94
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: did you run? The little pigs asked their big brother,

95
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: because he answered after a while, somebody said, let's go

96
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: back to where the white pig is. Oh no, said

97
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: somebody else. Let's not. She can come over here if

98
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: she wants to. And it isn't nearly so nice there.

99
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: You see, they were some not very nice pigs. Perhaps

100
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: they weren't taught to think of others and be kind,

101
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: or maybe for some reason they forgot this important lesson.

102
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: At last, the white pig opened her round eyes and

103
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: saw all the brown pigs at the farther end of

104
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: the field. She said to herself, I must decide what

105
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: to do before they see that I am awake. She

106
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: lay there and tried to think of what her mother

107
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: had told her before she left. If you have nobody

108
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: to play with, her mother had said, don't stop to

109
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: think about it, and don't act as though you cared.

110
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: Have a good time by yourself, and you will soon

111
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: have company. If you cannot enjoy yourself, you must not

112
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: expect others to enjoy you. That is what I will do,

113
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: exclaimed the white pig. My mother always gives her children

114
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: good advice when they go out into the world, and

115
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: she is right when she says that pigs should have

116
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: good manners. I'm glad I didn't say anything mean. So

117
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: the white pig rooted in the sunshine and wallowed in

118
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: the warm brown earth that she had stirred up with

119
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: her pink snout. Once in a while she would run

120
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: to the fence to watch somebody in the lane, and

121
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: before she knew it, she was grunting contentedly to herself. Really,

122
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: she said, I am almost having a good time. I

123
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: will keep on believing that I would rather do this

124
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: than anything else. The big sister of the brown pigs

125
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: looked over to the white pig and said, she's having

126
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: lots of fun all by herself, it seems to me.

127
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: Big brother raised his head. Let's call her over here,

128
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: he answered. Oh do, cried the twelve little pigs, wriggling

129
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: their tails. She looks so full of fun. Call her yourself,

130
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: said the big brother to the big sister. Uugh, she called,

131
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: m don't you want to come over with us, white pig.

132
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: You can imagine how the white pig felt when she

133
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: heard this, how her small eyes twinkled and the corners

134
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: of her mouth turned up more than ever. She called back,

135
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm having too good a time here to leave my

136
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: rooting ground. Won't you come over here? Come on? Cried

137
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: all the little pigs to each other. Beat you there.

138
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: They ate and talked and slept together all afternoon, and

139
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: when the brown hog called her children home, they and

140
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: the white pig were the best of friends. Just think,

141
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: they said to their mother. The white pig, let us

142
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: visit her, and she is just as nice as she

143
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: can be. The white pig in her corner of the

144
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: pen heard this and smiled to herself. My mother was right,

145
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: she said, Be polite and kind, happy with yourself as

146
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: you are, and you will have great friends to play with,

147
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: and that is the end of our story. Sleep Tight
