Illustration for the scene “The wolf joins the sheep”

Scene 1 · Beginner

Волк присоединяется к овцам

The wolf joins the sheep

Russian

Волку было трудно подойти к овцам, потому что пастух и его собаки внимательно охраняли их. Но однажды волк нашёл овечью шкуру, которую кто-то выбросил. Он надел её поверх своей шерсти и медленно спустился к овцам. Так волк оказался среди овец.

English translation

The wolf found it difficult to get close to the sheep because the shepherd and his dogs guarded them carefully. But one day the wolf found a sheepskin that someone had thrown away. He put it on over his fur and slowly made his way down to the sheep. That is how the wolf found himself among the sheep.
