One day three goats were grazing. The older two are cocky and boastful. Everyone boasts with their horns: “If we met a wolf, we would show him!” But the younger one remains silent, nibbles grass and sharpens her horns on sharp stones.
In the evening the goats went home. The first is ahead, the second is further away, and the third is completely behind.
Suddenly a wolf jumped out to meet them. He said to the older goat:
- Let's fight, little goat!
- Come on, come on, you stupid wolf!
They began to fight, and the wolf attacked her and swallowed her. Then the middle goat came up. The wolf tells her:
- Let's fight, little goat!
- Come on, come on, you stupid wolf!
They began to fight, and the wolf attacked her and swallowed her too. The wolf looks - another goat is coming. She saw the wolf and was the first to shout to him:
- Let's fight, you stupid wolf!
- Come on if you want! - says the surprised wolf.
The goat didn’t even allow the wolf to come to his senses, she flew at him, gored him with sharp horns, and trampled him with strong hooves. The wolf's skin burst and two older goats jumped out of its belly.
- You really scared the wolf! - the younger goat told them and walked ahead.
And the elders silently followed her.
