Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: A wolf comes while a mother goat is away, hoping to eat her kids (kid). When they do not open the door, the wolf changes his voice [K1832, K311.3] and colors his paws with flour [K1839.1]. The children believe that it is their mother and they open the door. The wolf eats the kids (all except one). The youngest kid hides in a clock. The mother returns and takes revenge on the wolf. She finds him asleep, cuts her children out of his belly [F913], and fills it with stones [Q426]. Or, she challenges him to a fight, which she wins. Or, she invites him to her house where he falls into a pit of hot coals. Cf. Types 333, 705B, 2028. In older variants the kid obeys his mother and does not open the door [J144].

Combinations: 4, 34, and 122C, esp. 212, 333.
