"Very well." She cleared her throat.
. . .
Once upon a time... a Mother Goat lived in a pretty little house with her seven kids.
Mother often had to leave home to do the shopping, and on that fateful day, she had given her children the usual warnings, before setting off to market.
"You mustn't open the door to anyone. Don't forget, there's a wicked wolf lurking about here. It's black, with horrible paws and a nasty deep voice. If it knocks, keep the door tightly shut!"
Mother Goat's words were wise indeed, for as she was telling one of her neighbours about her fears, the wolf disguised as a peasant was hiding close by, listening to every word.
"Good! Very good!" said the wolf to himself."If the goat goes to market, I'll drop by her house and gobble the kids!"
Then,trying not to look too conspicuous, the wolf hurried along to the goat's house. There, he threw off his disguise. He then growled in a deep voice:
"Open the door! Open the door! It's Mother! I've just come back from the market! Open the door!"
When the kids heard the deep voice, they remembered their mother's warning. From behind the barred door, they said to the wolf:
"We know who you are! You're the wolf! Our mother has a sweet gentle voice, not a deep nasty one like yours! Go away! We'll never open the door to you!"
