Then the seven kids dragged the stones thither with all speed,

and the mother sewed him up again in the greatest haste,

so that he was not aware of anything and never once stirred.

When the wolf at length had had his filled up sleep, he got on his legs,

against my poor bones?

I thought it was six kids,

But it feels like big stones.”

And when he got to the well and stooped over the water to drink,
当他到了井边，弯下腰准备喝水时，
the heavy stones made him fall in, and he drown miserably.

When the seven kids saw that, they came running to the spot and cried aloud,
