In a small village, lived an old man and his old wife. In their garden, there was a barn were five or six sheep, five lambs and a few goats lived. This old couple, who had a coop in another corner of their garden with about twenty small and large hens inside, did not have any income. They were making their living by selling the milk of the animals in the barn, and the eggs of the hens in the coop.

At midnight one day, a hungry wolf entered the barn through the window and killed three of the lambs, but it left without eating their meat. Upon seeing this, the old man was very sad and he thought why the wolf had left after killing the lambs but without eating their meat. A few days later, the wolf came back and attacked the animals again, killing one sheep. And on another day, it attacked the chicken in the coop.
