4. THE WOLF AND THE SEVEN LITTLE KIDS

http://www.gutenberg.org/files/52521/52521-h/52521-h.htm#hdr_2
watch out for danger! // (like the start of Treasure Island):

sign 1: rough voice, not soft
sign 2: black feet, not white

The wolf says he is their mother.
The kids see sign 1 and know it is him.

wolf + chalk = soft voice

The wolf says he is their mother.
The kids see sign 2 and know it is him.

wolf + flour = white feet // threatens to eat the miller if he does not help

The wolf says he is their mother.
The kids see no signs and let him in.
PANIC!! (drama)

Each kid hid in a different place
The wolf found (and ate)  all but one kid: youngest, in clock case.

Wolf is now tired, so slept under a tree.

Mother returns, cannot find children. // (the previous events can happen in cut scene)
Calls one at a time (for maximum drama) last one, the youngest, replies "I am in the clock case"
Weep (drama)

Later, find wolf snoring under tree
Look at wolf: stomach moves

Get scissors and needle and thread (and anaesthetic???)
Cut open stomach, kids escaped. Had been swallowed whole due to the wolf's greed
Rejoice! (drama)

To defeat wolf: sewed stones inside instead
     // military idea: get danger inside enemy camp
     // also, like disease
Wolf woke.
Went for a drink
leaned over well, stones made him fall in. Drowned!
Rejoice! (drama)
