A gentle retelling for listeners ages 3–5 of Aesop’s fable from The Aesop for Children (1919): a hungry Wolf hides in a sheep skin to slip past the watchful Shepherds, leads away a little Lamb, and follows the flock into the fold on the very night the Shepherd comes for mutton broth.

A hungry Wolf lived in the woods beside a pasture, a big grassy field full of Sheep. Grumble, grumble went his tummy. It was never, ever full.
The Shepherds watched their Sheep all day long, to keep them safe from harm. Whenever the Wolf crept close, a Shepherd spotted him. “Wolf! Go away!” So back to the woods he ran.
