the house-door and called: 'Open the door,
dear children; your mother is here, and has
brought something back with her for each of
you.' But the little kids knew that it was the
wolf, by the rough voice. 'We will not open the
door,' cried they, 'you are not our mother. She
has a soft, pleasant voice, but your voice is
rough; you are the wolf!' Then the wolf went
away to a shopkeeper and bought himself a
great lump of chalk, ate this and made his
voice soft with it. Then he came back, knocked
at the door of the house, and called: 'Open the
door, dear children, your mother is here and
has brought something back with her for each
of you.' But the wolf had laid his black paws
against the window, and the children saw
them and cried: 'We will not open the door, our
mother has not black feet like you: you are the
wolf!' Then the wolf ran to a baker and said: 'I
have hurt my feet, rub some dough over them
for me.' And when the baker had rubbed his
feet over, he ran to the miller and said: 'Strew
some white meal over my feet for me.' The
miller thought to himself: 'The wolf wants to
deceive someone,' and refused; but the wolf
said: 'If you will not do it, I will devour you.'
Then the miller was afraid, and made his
paws white for him. Truly, this is the way of
mankind.

So now the wretch went for the third time to
the house-door, knocked at it and said: 'Open
the door for me, children, your dear little
mother has come home, and has brought
every one of you something back from the
forest with her.' The little kids cried: 'First show
us your paws that we may know if you are our
dear little mother.' Then he put his paws in
through the window and when the kids saw
that they were white, they believed that all he
said was true, and opened the door. But who
should come in but the wolf! They were
terrified and wanted to hide themselves. One
sprang under the table, the second into the
bed, the third into the stove, the fourth into the
kitchen, the fifth into the cupboard, the sixth
under the washing-bowl, and the seventh into
the clock-case. But the wolf found them all,
and used no great ceremony; one after the
other he swallowed them down his throat. The
youngest, who was in the clock-case, was the
only one he did not find. When the wolf had
satisfied his appetite he took himself off, laid
himself down under a tree in the green
meadow outside, and began to sleep.

這個壞蛋第三次跑到山羊家，一面敲門一面說：「開門哪，孩子們。你們的好媽媽回來 了，還從森林裡給你們每個人帶回來一些東西。」小山羊們叫道：「你先把腳給我們看看， 好讓我們知道你是不是我們的媽媽。」狼把爪子伸進窗戶，小山羊們看到爪子是白的，便相 信牠說的是真話，打開了屋門。然而進來的是狼！小山羊們嚇壞了，一個個都想躲起來。第 一隻小山羊跳到了桌子下，第二隻鑽進了被子，第三隻躲到了爐子裡，第四隻跑進了廚房， 第五隻藏在櫃子裡，第六隻擠在洗臉盆下，第七隻爬進了鐘盒裡。狼把牠們一個個都找了出 來，毫不客氣地把牠們全都吞進了肚子。只有躲在鐘盒裡的那隻最小的山羊沒有被狼發現。 狼吃飽了之後，心滿意足地離開了山羊家，來到綠草地上的一棵大樹下，躺下身子開始呼呼 大睡起來。
