Thnx for your kind words - makes me glad really!
This story is very wellknown in Europe but perhaps not in the rest of the world - excuse me!!
This girl is sent by her mother to grandma laying ill in her cottage deep in the woods. Meets the wolf/ tells him/ he goes to the cottage/ eats grandma/ taking her clouthes/ Little red comes.../ eats her too/ hunter comes/ finds the wolf/ understands what has been happening/ makes the cut saving both grandma and Little red/ they fills his stommac with stones/ he wakens/ feels thirsty/ goes to the well/ and falls into it while trying to drink/ END GOOD - EVERYTHING GOOD!

I wonder what a small child would say about this very short version of the tale!

What is ment by this is to teach little girls not to talk to male strangers - very current theese days with focus on raping and the incest problem!!

I've never heard this story with the wolf being filled with rocks... I thought that was 'The Wolf and the 7 Goats'?

Hey, these are pretty good! They very much look like they belong in a children's story book. I find it interesting that the stories as you tell it is different that the one I know...though I can't remember how the version I know is supposed to end.

I do think, though, that in the last panel the work could use a shadow to plant him on the ground. He looks a bit like he's floating.

Ok, I'll try...

"The Wolf and the seven little goats" ("De Wolf en de zeven Geitjes" in Dutch)

Once upon a time, there was a goat mother living in a house, with her 7 children. There came a day when the mother hade to go to the city to buy stuff, and had to leave her children for a while. She told the little goats to lock the door and not to let any strange people inside.
The wolf saw the goat mother leave her house and thought he could have little goats for supper. So as soon as the mother was gone he knockt on the door. "It's me, your mother," said the wolf "I'm back."... but the little goats heard it wasn't their mothers voice, so they didn't open the door and send the wolf away.
Then wolf then went to the ... (don't know, maybe a school?) and asked/bought (for) some crayons, and he ate them. Now his foice sounded just as soft as a goat mother. So he went to the house again...
"I'm back" said the wolf, and most of the goats ran towards the door with the idea of being safe again. But the youngest goat said "Wait, don't open!", and he asked the visitor to put his paw through the door... so he did, and his paw was brown, so they didn't open the door.
Then the wolf went to a bakery and bought some flour, and he coated his paw with it.
So the same thing happens, but now the paw is white, and the little goats happily swing open the door... but then the wolf jumps in and eats them all! Except for one, the youngest, he had hid himself in the grandfather clock as soon as he had seen the wolf.
When mother goat comes home, and sees her children are gone, she starts crying. The little goat, hearong his mother, disembarks the clock and tells his mother he's got a plan.
So they take a pair of scissors, some bricks and string & needle, and they go of searching for the wolf... They find the wolf somewhere near a lake/well, sleeping. So they cut his belly, the goats jump out, they put in the bricks and stitch his belly close again. They happily go home and live happy ever after.
When the wolf wakes up, he's thirsty of all that eating and he goes drinking out of the lake/well and falls into it.

END GOOD - EVERYTHING GOOD!


Ok, I don't think that was really short... but it does tell the story.
