  <head>
    <title>The Three Little Pigs</title>
  </head>
  <body>

<p>The first little pig saw a farmer with some straw. So he said to the 
farmer, “Please give me some straw to build a house.” The farmer said, 
“Yes” and gave the little pig a big bundle of straw. The little pig said, 
“Thank you!” and he made a house of straw.
