A little lamb, accompanied by a flock of sheep was grazing the green grass. The mischievous little lamb, was wandering here and there was eating the fresh grass unaware of the fact that it was closely followed by a wolf!

When the lamb realised that it had lost its way and was far away from the flock, it decided to join them. However, the lamb was stunned to see a hungry wolf standing behind it.

The lamb asked the wolf, 'Are you going to eat me?' The wolf said, 'Yes, at any cost!'

The lamb said, 'Can you please wait for some time? I ate a lot of grass and my stomach is filled with grass. If you eat me now, you will feel like eating grass!

The wolf agreed, 'Oh yes, I will wait for some time!' The lamb thanked the wolf. After some time, the wolf got ready to kill the lamb, but the lamb stopped him.

'Dear wolf, please wait for some more time. The grass is yet to get digested. If you eat me now, you will see a lot of grass in my stomach! Let me dance and it will digest fast.' The wolf agreed.

The little lamb danced and moved the foot towards the group. Suddenly the lamb stopped dancing.

The wolf inquired as to what had happened. 'Remove this bell tied on my neck and ring it as fast as you can, so that I can dance faster and the food will digest fast'.

The wolf, who wanted to eat the lamb removed the bell and shook it.

Meanwhile, the shepherd was searching for the little lamb and heard the sound of the bell. He saw the wolf and the lamb. He ran towards the wolf with a sticken. Seeing the shepherd with a stick, the wolf ran away and the lamb was saved!
