The story of "The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats"
Once
upon a time, in a little cottage deep in the woods, there lived seven young
goats with their mother. One day, their mother had to leave to fetch some food,
warning her children to be careful and not open the door to anyone except her.
The
wicked wolf, who lived nearby, overheard the mother's instructions. He decided
to play a trick on the young goats. He arrived at the door and said, "It's
me, your mother. I'm back!"
The
young goats, who usually recognized their mother's voice, became suspicious.
They replied, "Show us your white feet, or we won't open the door."
The
wolf, not having white feet, tried to fool them by dipping his paws in flour.
When he showed his "white feet" through the window, the young goats
noticed his big, black ears and said, "We won't open the door until you
show us your ears!"
The
wolf dipped his ears in flour too and showed them. This time, they noticed his
big, bushy tail and said, "We won't open the door until you show us your
tail!"
The
wolf complied but was still unsuccessful in deceiving the young goats. They saw
his sharp teeth and realized he wasn't their mother. In a panic, they shouted,
"You're not our mother! You're the big, bad wolf!"
The
wolf, angered and hungry, ran away, and the young goats were safe. When their
real mother returned, they told her what happened, and she praised them for
being clever and not falling for the wolf's tricks.
The
story of "The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats" teaches us to be
cautious and not trust strangers, no matter how convincing they may seem, and
to use our wit to protect ourselves from
