Only the youngest sheep hid and was not found.After the ewe came back and learned the truth, she wanted to settle the score with the gray wolf.The full-fed gray wolf was leaning against the big tree and sleeping soundly. Seeing its belly moving, the ewe ran back to get scissors and needles and thread, and quietly cut open its belly. The six lambs jumped up and down. Come out and pounce on the ewe.The ewe told them in a low voice: "Baby, quickly find stones and stuff it into its stomach."

As soon as he bent his waist, he fell into the river and drowned.
