The Wolf And The Seven Kids (1978)
The story follows a mother goat and her seven kids who live happily in a meadow. However, a hungry wolf tries to trick the kids into letting him in by disguising his voice and paws. Despite his efforts, the kids recognize him and refuse to open the door. Eventually, the wolf tricks them and eats six of the kids, but the youngest hides and escapes. When the mother goat returns, she finds her children missing and discovers the wolf sleeping with a swollen belly. She cleverly rescues her kids by cutting open the wolf’s stomach, filling it with stones, and sewing it shut. The wolf, unaware of the stones, falls into a pond while trying to drink, ensuring he will never trouble them again. The goats return to their home, living happily ever after.
