This story tells of a young Kid who, feeling grown-up, disobeys his mother and lingers behind the flock, only to find himself alone and confronted by a Wolf. Facing certain doom, the clever Kid asks the Wolf to play music for him to dance one last time. The Wolf obliges, but the sound of his piping alerts the nearby Shepherd Dogs, who race back and chase the Wolf away, saving the Kid through his own quick thinking and the Wolf's foolish distraction. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of disobedience and straying from safety, while also highlighting the value of cleverness in a crisis.
