Dramatisation of the story in Romanian, in 2 links: http://youtu.be/J3iOVsItccE ; http://youtu.be/uBMV-Dmg4e8
Once upon a time there was a goat which had three kids.
The eldest and the middle kids were very naughty but the smallest kid was
hardworking and obedient.
One day, the goat told her kids that she had to go into
the forest to bring some food. They had to stay quietly inside and play. She
forbade them to open the door until they heard her returning home song.
The wolf was hidden behind the house and heard every word
the goat had told to her kids and was waiting for her to live. He was going to
talk to the kids.
He knocked at the door and began to sing in a thick voice,
but nobody answered him until he sharpened his tongue and teeth at the
ironsmith.
He came back to the goat’s kids, sang the song again, succeeding in
hoaxing the elder kids. They thought that they would be playing as they used to
do with their mother.
They had not played for a long time because their mother
was busy with the household chores; therefore they were glad to play and opened
the door without thinking of any danger. In spite of all these they hid. Why?
Because of the game? Or were they afraid? The eldest kid hid behind the door,
the middle kid hid under the trough and the smallest kid hid in the chimney.
Only the smallest kid escaped from the hungry mouth of the godfather wolf. Only
he knew how he had been trembling.
The mother goat returned home and the smallest kid told
her what had happened.
Both of them decided to invite the wolf to dinner so
that they could take their revenge on him. The wolf would get what he
deserved The goat and the little kid had
prepared a trap for the wolf. They arranged a wax chair on a mat under which
they put on the fire. When the wax chair melted the wolf fell into the flames of
the fire.
The story of the
goat kids urges us not to trust the strangers who “knock at the door” because
they may be “the wolf”.
