At last in her grief she wandered out of doors, and the youngest kid with her; and when they came into the meadow, there they saw the wolf lying under a tree, and snoring so that the branches shook. The mother goat looked at him carefully on all sides and she noticed how something inside his body was moving and struggling. Dear me! thought she, can it be that my poor children that he devoured for his evening meal are still alive? And she sent the little kid back to the house for a pair of shears, and needle, and thread. Then she cut the wolf's body open, and no sooner had she made one snip than out came the head of one of the kids, and then another snip, and then one after the other the six little kids all jumped out alive and well, for in his greediness the rogue had swallowed them down whole. How delightful this was! so they comforted their dear mother and hopped about like tailors at a wedding. "Now fetch some good hard stones," said the mother, "and we will fill his body with them, as he lies asleep." And so they fetched some in all haste, and put them inside him, and the mother sewed him up so quickly again that he was none the wiser.

老山羊最后伤心地哭着走了出去，最小的山羊也跟着跑了出去。 当它们来到草地上时，狼还躺在大树下睡觉，呼噜声震得树枝直抖。 老山羊从前后左右打量着狼，看到那家伙鼓得老高的肚子里有什么东西在动个不停。 "天哪，"它说，"我的那些被它吞进肚子里当晚餐的可怜的孩子，难道它们还活着吗？"最小的山羊跑回家，拿来了剪刀和针线。 老山羊剪开那恶魔的肚子，刚剪了第一刀，一只小羊就把头探了出来。 它继续剪下去，六只小羊一个个都跳了出来，全都活着，而且一点也没有受伤，因为那贪婪的坏蛋是把它们整个吞下去的。 这是多么令人开心的事啊！ 它们拥抱自己的妈妈，像当新娘的裁缝一样高兴得又蹦又跳。 可是羊妈妈说："你们去找些大石头来。我们趁这坏蛋还没有醒过来，把石头装到它的肚子里去。"七只小山羊飞快地拖来很多石头，拼命地往狼肚子里塞；然后山羊妈妈飞快地把狼肚皮缝好，结果狼一点也没有发觉，它根本都没有动弹。
