When they reached the cellar Mr..
Wolf fell upon the meat and ate and

after dark and went to the nearest farm
to try and find a stray lamb.
He nearly got caught, but he brought
back the lamb. and when Mr.. Wolf
arrived he placed 1t before him.
Mr.. Wolf ate the lamb and finished
the goose before he stopped to speak a
