THE WOLF AND THE SEVEN LITTLE GOATS

Once upon a time lived a mother goat and her seven little kids. Theirs was happy little home. All the seven little kids used to play in the meadow into the wild, with the butterflies and birds singing along their days used to go in complete harmony and bliss. Until one day a Big black wolf noticed these little kids playing in the meadow.

The wolf thought such an easy treat they are for me! I haven't eaten since ages. I am sure these would make delicious lamb chops for my dinner tonight. He waited for the moment when the mother goat would leave her kids alone. Patiently hiding in the bushes.

Mamma goat: Children! I am going to the market to buy bread and cookies for you. I'll be back by evening, just make sure you remain conscious of this Big bad wolf.

Kid Lamb: But, mummy how would we know if it's not you?

Mamma Goat: The wretched wolf can easily be recognized with his hoarse voice and black feet. Don't open the door or else you little ones would get into danger.

Kids: Don't worry mummy! we would take care of ourselves.

The mom goat went off to the market and the kids made doubly sure with the locks on the door. After making sure that they are safe in their little home off they went to play when suddenly there was a knock on the door. Hello, my children! open the door, your mother is back. Hearing the voice, the youngest one scampered to the door.Mummy!mummy! she is back. In no time the eldest one ran to catch his little sibling. No, it's not our mummy. She hasn't got such a rough voice.

And then looking at the door the eldest kid shouted back saying.Go away you big bad wolf our mother doesn't have such a hoarse voice! Hearing this the wolf got irritated and ran to get a box of chalk as he had heard that this would make his voice as smooth as that of a baby but kids, you shouldn't do this at any cost as this would only make your tummy ache badly so off he went and gulped off the whole box of chalk. Knocking on the door again he said hello kids your mother is back! Look what I have got for you cookies, bread and ginger ale.

Hearing the voice, the youngest one scampered to the door and said Oh! that sounds like our mother.Should we open the door now?
the eldest one told but look down there our mother has not got black feet. This is surely the wolf. Go away you big bad wolf. Our mother has not got black feet but beautiful white feet.

Hearing this the wolf ran to the miller and jumped into the mountain of white dough. He used to be all white from head to toe. Running back to the house. He knocked again and said, kids! your mother is back, open the door! The younger one said that sound like our mother and also the feet are white we should open the door now. Not knowing what danger awaits them all the kids ran to the door and opened it but, just to see who was standing there the big bad wolf gave a loud laugh and brushed off his white powder and said.

Hello, kids! Are you ready to become my feast tonight? The kids ran here and there to save their lives. One went inside the kettle, the other in the oven. One seemed for a place underneath the bed and the different tried saving itself by using hiding in a pot.The youngest one was so tiny that he managed to hide inside the clock case. The wolf, having no mercy started taking them out from their hidings one by one he rolled them in a ball and gulped them up. In no time he ate all the kids except for the youngest one who was hiding in the clock case with his tummy full, he burped and left the home.

When the mother returned, she was shocked to see the door open and waited for the biggest nightmare that might have come true. The house was all upside down the crockery was broken the curtains were torn the chair was broken and the kids were now here to be found. She cried for them children! oh, children where are you? At that very moment, the youngest one came out of the clock case and hugged his mom crying and howling.
Oh, mother! the bad wolf disguised us by sounding and looking like you. He ate up all my brothers and sisters. What will we do now? Mamma said, Don't worry! let's go and look for him.They went out searching for the wolf.His tummy was so filled that he slept off in a meadow near the house itself. His snores were so loud that even the branches of the tree were shuddering. The mother goat very quietly went near him and asked her youngest kid to get scissors and thread and a needle. Off he went to get them.The mother goat very quietly slits open his tummy and took out all her kids from his tummy.

They then stuffed up his tummy with stones as big as balls and then she stitched the tummy with the thread and the needle. The wolf had such a large feast for so long and he slept all night. In the morning when he got up he was thirsty to the point that he took a stab at hurrying to the well. But his belly was so heavy that he should hardly walk. He picked up his stomach and managed to reach the well. But the moment he bent down to drink water he could not handle the weight and fell into the well. 

The kids had been looking at all of this from their window and shouted happily! The wolf has died! Now we can play freely backyard barring any fear. And they lived happily ever after.
