A little goat was drinking water by the river, and the big bad wolf appeared, insisting that the river water belonged to him, and that he would come to eat the little goat at night as punishment for stealing the water. The little goat was very scared. On the way home, the little goat met kittens, little hedgehogs, little monkeys and other small animals. After they heard about it, they all decided to help the little goat. At night, the big bad wolf arrived as scheduled, and with the help of the little animals, the lamb successfully drove away the big bad wolf.
