"If you please, Sir," said he, "will you give me that straw to build a house with," is an illustration by Frank Adams, featured in the classic fairy tale "The Three Little Pigs." Frank Adams, an English illustrator and cartoonist, is renowned for his contributions to children's literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work is characterized by its detailed and whimsical style, which has captivated audiences for generations.

"The Three Little Pigs" is a well-known folktale that has been passed down through oral tradition and has been published in various versions since the 19th century. The story revolves around three pig siblings who each build a house to protect themselves from the Big Bad Wolf. The first pig builds a house of straw, the second a house of sticks, and the third a house of bricks. The wolf, intent on eating the pigs, blows down the first two houses but is unable to destroy the sturdy brick house, ultimately leading to his defeat.

Adams' illustration captures a pivotal moment in the tale, where the first little pig requests straw from a passerby to construct his house. This scene is significant as it sets the stage for the ensuing events and highlights the pig's naivety in choosing a flimsy material for his home. Adams' artistic interpretation brings the characters and their environment to life, using expressive lines and vibrant colors to engage the reader's imagination.

The illustration not only serves as a visual representation of the story but also enhances the narrative by providing context and depth to the characters' actions and decisions. Frank Adams' work on "The Three Little Pigs" remains a cherished example of early 20th-century children's book illustration, continuing to delight and inspire readers and artists alike.
