Once upon a time, there was a nanny goat and seven kids. The nanny goat told her kids never to open the door to strangers, but only when they heard her singing her special song. The wolf heard her song and one day, when the nanny goat went out, the wolf sang the song. The kids opened the door and the wolf ate them all, except the littlest one, who hid and told its mother everything. The nanny goat decided to punish the wolf. She challenged it to jump through a fire. The overweight wolf fell into the fire, its stomach burst open, and out jumped the kid goats, alive and well.
