However, the clever wolf soon came along, determined to deceive the children. He approached the door and tried to imitate the voice of the goat’s mother. “Open the door, my dear children! This is your mother!” He called out with love. The children looked out the window cautiously, but they couldn’t see their mother.
The wolf then painted its claws white to make them look like a goat’s mother. When the children saw the white claws and heard the soft sound, they became fools. They opened the door, and the wolf came in running! He quickly captured six children, but the youngest managed to hide.
