The Wolf And The Seven Little Goats: From the Grimm Fairy Tales

“The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats” by the Brothers Grimm is a cautionary tale about the importance of being cautious and listening to parental advice. When a mother goat leaves her seven kids at home while she goes to the forest, she warns them about the dangers of the wicked wolf, who might try to trick his way into their house. The cunning wolf attempts to impersonate the mother goat, first with a gruff voice and then with a softened one, but the kids recognize his deception. However, the wolf eventually whitens his paw with flour, successfully fooling the young goats, who then open the door. The wolf then devours six of the seven kids, only one managing to hide and escape. Upon returning and discovering what has happened, the mother goat finds the wolf sleeping with a full stomach. She bravely cuts open his stomach to rescue her children and then fills him with stones before sewing him back up. When the wolf awakens, the heavy stones cause him to fall into a well and drown, ensuring that the kids are safe and the villain is punished.
