One day, Piggy Roly and Kitten Mimi went to Sheep City to visit Lamb Curl.
As they entered Sheep City, they saw Curl drinking water by the river.
Just as Piggy was about to call out to him, he noticed Tiger King and Wolf Dot hiding in the little woods by the river.
Piggy and Kitten were shocked. It seemed like these two troublemakers had sneaked into Sheep City while the Elephant Policeman wasn’t paying attention.
They quickly hid to one side.
They saw Tiger and Wolf eyeing Lamb with drool dripping from their mouths.
The Wolf said, “Brother, I told you so. We shouldn’t always think about eating roasted pigs, roasted lamb is just as good!”
Hearing this, Piggy hurriedly whispered to Kitten, “They want to eat Curl! Quickly go tell Uncle Elephant, I’ll stay here and keep an eye on things.”
Kitten Mimi quickly ran off to find the Elephant.
Just then, Tiger said, “What are we waiting for? Let’s go catch this plump, white Lamb now!”
As he said this, Tiger was about to pounce, but the Wolf stopped him, saying, “There are too many people around. If the Lamb screams, the big elephant will come running. We need to trick him into going somewhere with no one around. Watch me!”
The Wolf then walked toward Lamb Curl.
With a grin, the Big Bad Wolf pretended to be friendly and said, “Sweet Lamb, your mommy sent me to bring you to her. Come with me and let’s find her!”
Lamb Curl, startled to see the wolf in front of him, also noticed the huge tiger hiding in the woods, and was scared out of his wits. He quickly replied, “You’re lying! My mommy told me not to go with strangers!”
The Wolf, seeing that the Lamb wasn’t fooled, became angry and said, “You Lamb, you’re drinking water here and making the water in Wolf City dirty! Now, you must come back with me to Wolf City and apologize to all the wolves!”
Lamb Curl thought to himself, The Big Bad Wolf is so sly, he’s trying to use the same trick from the stories to fool me into going to Wolf City. Does he think I’m that dumb? Well, he won’t get away with this!
So Lamb Curl replied, “The water flows from Wolf City to Sheep City, how could I be making the water in Wolf City dirty? I’ve actually heard that you’re always throwing trash into the river that flows into Tiger City. You should go to Tiger City and apologize to all the tigers!”
Hidden nearby, Tiger couldn’t contain his anger and exploded: No wonder I’ve been feeling sick after drinking water lately! It’s that Wolf’s doing!
Wolf turned red with embarrassment, thinking, If the tiger believes the Lamb, I’m finished!
He quickly shook his fist at the lamb and yelled, “You little liar! No wonder everyone said you were talking badly about me last year! Now, you’re coming with me to clear things up with everyone!”
“That’s impossible! I wasn’t even born last year!” Lamb replied. “But I’ve heard you’re always saying bad things about the tiger!”
Wolf grew even more anxious, but before he could respond, Tiger had already had enough. He jumped out from his hiding place and tackled Wolf to the ground.
“Ah, so you’re always calling me ‘big brother’ in front of me, but behind my back, you’re slandering me everywhere! Throwing trash into the river—looks like you’ve got some real nerve!”
At this moment, Kitten Mimi arrived with Uncle Elephant and his officers. They quickly captured both the tiger and the wolf.
Piggy and Kitten looked at Lamb and said, “Lamb, you’re so clever!”
That day, they all had a wonderful time together.
