In the last episode, the big bad wolf forced the little tabby cat to serve Ball, and then fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down.
The next morning, the wolf woke up feeling refreshed. He opened the refrigerator to prepare breakfast—but froze in disbelief. The fridge was completely empty. Not even a single green onion remained.
His eyes widened, and he roared in anger, “Who ate all my food?!”
Looking up, he noticed his carefully dried fish were gone too.
Scanning the room, he realized every bit of food in the house had vanished.
The wolf flew into a rage, stomping his feet and shouting, “Who? Who ate all my food?”
The wolf’s gaze fell on the tabby cat trembling in the corner.
He grabbed the cat by the scruff and snarled, “Was it you?!”
Just as he was about to hit the tabby cat, Ball’s voice rang out.
“It wasn’t him—it was me. You said I was a hostage and would be well-fed and well-treated, right? Didn’t you tell the tabby cat to bring me anything I wanted? And now you’re this upset just because I ate a little of your food? Honestly, you’re so stingy.”
The wolf growled, “A little? You ate everything in the house!”
Ball shrugged. “What can I say? I have a big appetite. If you’re not happy about it, why don’t you just let me leave Wolf Castle?”
“In your dreams!” the wolf barked.
Still furious, he stomped outside and grabbed the little rabbit from a cage. The rabbit screamed in terror.
“Why are you grabbing the rabbit?” Ball asked.
The wolf snapped, “You ate all the food! Don’t I need to eat? I’m going to kill this rabbit for dinner!”
“You can’t eat him,” Ball said calmly. “His uncle is my Big Handsome, and if you eat him, Handsome won’t let you off the hook. You know how powerful he is.”
The wolf burst out laughing. “A rabbit and a cat are relatives? Why not just say I’m your father? Your lies are getting ridiculous.”
Ball shot back, “You’re the ridiculous one. Handsome and the little rabbit’s father learned magic under the same master. Their relationship is even closer than that of biological brothers. The little rabbit has always called Handsome “Uncle.” Is that wrong? If you eat the rabbit, not only will Handsome come after you, but the rabbit’s father will too. They all possess magic and are highly skilled.”
The wolf hesitated, thinking, What if he’s telling the truth? If this rabbit’s dad is as scary as that demon cat, I’d better not risk it for now. I’ll deal with the deer instead.
He put down the rabbit and reached for the little deer instead. The deer cried out in fear.
“You can’t eat the deer either,” Ball said quickly. “That’ll be even worse for you.”
The wolf sneered. “Don’t tell me this deer’s uncle is also that demon cat.”
Ball grinned. “You’re finally getting smart. He’s a direct uncle, too.”
The wolf growled. “A cat is a deer’s direct uncle? Explain that nonsense.”
Ball replied, “Haven’t you heard of the Frog Prince? A witch turned the prince into a frog. The little deer was originally a kitten, but because he wandered too far, a witch turned him into a deer.”
The wolf couldn’t stop himself from laughing. “Do you think I’m an idiot? There’s no such thing as witches!”
Ball raised an eyebrow. “You call Handsome a demon cat all the time. If demon cats exist, why not witches? Believe me or not, but if you eat the deer, you’ll regret it later.”
The wolf hesitated again. This brat is so convincing, I can’t tell if he’s lying. I’ll wait and figure it out later.
He reluctantly put the little deer back into the cage. Glaring at Ball, he warned, “If I find out you’re lying, you’ll pay for it!” Then he stomped out of the house to buy food.
As soon as the wolf was gone, the tabby cat, the little rabbit, and the little deer gathered around Ball.
“Thank you for saving us! You’re so clever—the wolf completely fell for it!”
Ball smiled. “Don’t thank me yet. Wait until we’re out of Wolf Castle. I’ve already got a plan.”
What plan does Ball have? Will the little animals escape Wolf Castle? Stay tuned for the next episode!
