The children dispersed and hid everywhere, including in the bed, behind the table, and inside the clock case! but the wolf moved quickly, discovering all save the smallest, who hid in a place that no one knew about
When the mother goat came back, she saw that only her youngest child was safe. Mother and kid went into the forest in search of the wolf.
They discovered the wolf snoring behind a tree in the field. Something churning in his stomach was noted by Mother Goat. "Is it possible that my kids are still there?" She quickly sliced into the wolf's stomach, allowing her six children to escape safely!
Together, they sewed up the sleeping wolf after stuffing him full of stones. The wolf staggered onto a creek when he awakened, weary and thirsty. However, he was pulled into the sea by the stones, and he was never seen again.
The seven baby goats cheered, "The wolf is gone!" as they danced around their mother. We're all right here! With confidence and excitement in their hearts, they gave each other a hug.
