How Does The Wolf Trick The Seven Baby Goats?

A mother goat warns her seven children (kids) never to open the door while she is away, to anyone except her. A wolf determines to trick the kids. He goes to their house and asks to be let in, pretending to be their mother. However, his rough voice gives him away. So he swallows a mouthful of honey; this works until they see his hairy grey paw. Then he gets flour from the baker to rub on his paws; this time the kids are deceived. They let him in and he devours them, all but the youngest who hides; then he runs off. When the mother comes back, she and the youngest go after the wolf. They find him asleep under a tree. They fetch scissors, needle and thread. Then they cut open the wolf and all the kids jump out; they fill his stomach with six stones, sew it up again and wait. When the wolf wakes, he goes to the river to drink, falls in and drowns.
