The wolf and the seven lambs
One day when the goat had gone food hunting, the wolf found
out about the lambs. It came and knocked at their door. The lambs asked, “Who
are you?” The wolf told in a gruff voice, “ I am your mother.” The lambs
recognized the wolf’s voice and shouted, “No, you are the wolf. You have gruff
voice.”
Next day the wolf swallowed lot of butter before coming to
the house of the lambs. And told in a soft voice, “I am your mother, open the
door.” The lambs wanted the wolf to show its tail. The wolf did and they
shouted, “You are the wolf, your tail is hairy.”
The next day, the wolf swallowed lot of butter and also tied
silken cloth over its tail. It again knocked at the door of the lambs, and said
softly, “I am your mother.” The lambs wanted to see its tail. When they found
it was soft, they opened the door. But one of the lambs which was taking bath
was closed in the bathroom. The wolf swallowed all the six lambs, went to a
near by shade and started sleeping. The goat returned home to find only one
lamb. Hearing the story from the lamb, they both went in search of the wolf. To
their surprise they found it was sleeping. Not only that they found that some
things were jumping in the wolf’s stomach. They slowly cut a small hole and
could rescue all the six lambs. Whenever one lamb was taken out, they used to put
a stone inside so that the wolf will not wake up. After all lambs were rescued,
they also stitched the stomach of the wolf.
After some time, the wolf woke up and went to drink water in
the near by tank. It was not having proper balance, as its stomach was heavy
with stones. Ultimately it fell in the tank and died .The goat and lambs lived
happily in the forest, after that.
