| The Big Bad Wolf was very hungry now and
he thought about going to the garbage pile and digging for
scraps, but decided it would be foolish to hunt for scraps when
he would soon have a whole baby thrown his way. When the baby whined again the Big Bad Wolf leaped onto his feet so he could catch the delicious bundle coming his way. The mother rushed into the nursery and said: "Hush, child, hush! You had better stop your crying, or I will throw you out the window to the Wolf!"
The Big Bad Wolf was ready. His long red tongue licked his chops and he stood there with his ears perked to catch the slightest sound to indicate the baby was being thrown his way, but after a short time the baby quit crying and the mother went away. The Big Bad Wolf was very, very hungry by this time and it was getting hotter all the time. "If I had gone on to the garbage pile I might have found a few scraps by now and would be back in my den to take it easy during the heat of the day." So, he thought about leaving his post and going to the garbage pile to dig for scraps, but at last he sank back down and decided it would be foolish to hunt for scraps when he would soon have a whole baby thrown his way. When the baby whined again the Big Bad Wolf leaped onto his feet so he could catch the delicious bundle that would soon be coming his way. The mother rushed into the nursery and said: "Hush, child, you have got to hush! If you don't stop your crying I will throw you right out the window to the Wolf!" The Big Bad Wolf grinned from ear to ear. That baby was so close that he could taste it already. He danced from side to side to get himself in just the right place to catch his meal and he opened his mouth wide. The minutes passed with the baby crying more and more and the Big Bad Wof's long red tongue licked his chops and he stood there with his ears perked to catch the slightest sound to indicate the baby was being thrown his way, but gradually the baby quit crying and at last the mother went away.

| The Big Bad Wolf was very, very, very
hungry by this time and it was so hot that even in the shade
his tongue was hanging out long enough to touch the ground.
He turned and stared towards the garbage pile. "If I
had just gone on to the garbage pile when I first came here
this morning then I might have found a few good scraps to
eat by now and I would be back in my den with my feet up to
take it easy during the heat of the day."
So, he thought about leaving his post and going to the garbage pile to dig for scraps, But, he said to himself, it's too late now. I have all this time invested and if I leave it will all go to waste. Besides, it was hot, REAL hot, and digging for scraps is hard work so at last he sank back down in misery and decided it would anyway be just too foolish to hunt for scraps when he would soon have a whole baby thrown his way if he would just wait a little bit longer. When the baby howled again the Big Bad Wolf was so weak from hunger that he had trouble getting onto his feet. "Up feet, UP! I have to get up so I can catch the delicious bundle coming my way this time for sure." He just knew the terrible wait had been worth it when he heard the mother rush into the nursery and say: "Hush, child, you hush this very instant or I will throw you right out the window to the Wolf!" The mother sounded so angry that the Big Bad Wolf grinned from ear to ear. He tried to get to his feet but he was so weak he toppled over and his big wide mouth scooped up a snout full of sand. "That baby will be mine any minute, so I must get up and be ready for it." Inch by inch the Big Bad Wolf rose to his feet and gazed towards the open window. His big long red tongue licked his dry chops and he stood there with his ears perked to catch the slightest sound to indicate the baby was being thrown his way, but it seemed like just a short time before the baby quit crying and the mother went away. Twice more the mother complained about the fretting child and said, "Hush, child, hush! Stop your crying, or I will give you to the Wolf!" They wolf went on hoping that at any moment he would have the child handed out to him. But though the little one continued to fret, the Big Bad Wolf waited all day in vain. Then, toward nightfall, he heard the Mother's voice rise again as she sank down near the window to sing and rock her baby to sleep one more time. "There, child, there! The Big Bad Wolf shall not get you now. No, no, NO! Daddy is watching that Big Bad Wolf right this minute and Daddy will kill him with a hoe if he should come anywhere near this house!"
As he crept into his den his mother raised up her head. "You must have dined very well for you have been gone all day." The Big Bad Wolf was still so hungry he could not say a word in reply. Aesop Says the moral to this story is: Do not believe everything you hear. |
The
Big Bad Wolf was so frightened at this news that he leaped
to his feet and glanced all around him. There, there!
The mother was right. The Father was coming over the
bridge right that very minute and sure enough, there was a
sharp hoe in his hands. Worse than that, three vicious
dogs scampered at the father's feet. The Big Bad Wolf
took off running just as fast as he could go and the dogs
saw him running. With a stream of yelps they were soon
chasing right at his heels. The Big Bad Wolf was barely able to save himself
from the Dogs, and then only by a clever bit of running.
