In the deep quiet of the night, seven little goats were getting ready to sleep.
They lay comfortably in their beds, just about to listen to a story from Mama Goat, when suddenly, everything went dark—it was a power outage.
Mama Goat, Bailey, said, “Why did the power suddenly go out? There was no notice.”
Papa Goat, White, replied, “This power outage is a bit strange. We need to lock the doors and windows.”
Papa Goat’s guess was right. This blackout was the handiwork of Big Bad Wolf Jimmy and Tiger Tyson.
At that moment, they were each holding a wrench and pliers, making their way towards the house of the seven little goats.
Jimmy excitedly said, “Big brother, we successfully sabotaged the power supply, causing a blackout in the entire Animal Kingdom. Now let’s break into the little goats’ house and eat them! Tonight, they won’t escape.”
“That’s right. Earlier, we ran into that big dumb elephant Bobby while he was patrolling. He even told us to go home early because the streetlights were out, and it was dangerous. I almost laughed out loud. What a fool! He doesn’t know it was us who did it.”
“We are the night hunters. The darkness excites us. Even more exciting is that there’s no moon or stars tonight. It’s completely pitch black—the perfect time for us to act!”
“Bobby also said that it’s too dark to see anything because of the power outage. What a joke! We night prowlers have eyes sharp enough to pierce through the darkness. We can see better than anyone.”
Before he could finish, they suddenly felt their feet slip, and their bodies plummeted rapidly. They both let out a scream.
When they landed, they finally realized what had happened.
Jimmy looked around and said, “This is… a trap. Big brother, we’ve fallen into a trap.”
“What? A trap? Our eyes are sharp enough to see through the night. How did we not see this?”
“Big brother, I said it’s a trap. Of course, it would be disguised not to look like one.”
“Who dug this trap? I won’t let them get away with this!”
“It’s… it’s us who dug this trap, big brother. Did you forget? We worked together to dig this trap yesterday to catch the little goats. We didn’t expect to fall into it ourselves.”
Tyson couldn’t help but shout, “Help…!”
“Big brother, stop shouting. There’s a blackout in the Animal Kingdom, and everyone is hiding at home. Besides, even if someone passes by, seeing that one is a tiger and the other is a wolf, no one would dare to rescue us!”
