Early one morning Peter opened the gate and went out into the big green meadow.
1:5
 
 
10
 
 
 
On a branch of a big tree sat a little bird, Peter's friend. 'All is quiet, all is quiet', chirped

11
 
 
 
Just then a duck came waddling around. She was glad that Peter hadn't closed the gate and decided t

Seeing the duck, the little bird flew down upon the grass, settled next to her and shrugged his sho

What kind of a bird are you if you can't fly? said he. To this the duck replied: 'What kind of a b

14
 
 
 
They argued and argued, the duck swimming in the pond and the little bird hopping along the shore.
20
 
 
15
 
 
 
Suddenly, something caught Peter's attention. It was a cat crawling through the grass.
34
 
 
16
 
 
 
The cat thought: 'The bird is busy arguing; I'll just grab him!' Stealthily she crept towards him o

17
 
 
 
Look out!' shouted Peter, and the bird immediately flew up into the tree,
16
 
 
18
 
 
 
while the duck quacked angrily at the cat,
9
 
 
19
 
 
 
from the middle of the pond.
19
 
 
20
 
 
 
The cat walked round the tree and thought: 'Is it worth climbing up so high? By the time I get ther

21
 
 
 
Just then Grandfather came out. He was angry because Peter had gone into the meadow. 'It is a dange

22
 
 
 
But Peter paid no attention to his grandfather's words. Boys like Peter aren't afraid of wolves!
33
 
 
23
 
 
 
But Grandfather took Peter by the hand, locked the gate and led him home.
41
 
 
24
 
 
 
No sooner had Peter gone than a big grey wolf came out of the forest.
1:16
 
 
25
 
 
 
In a twinkling the climbed up the tree.
28
 
 
26
 
 
 
The duck quacked and, in her excitement, jumped out of the pond.
15
 
 
27
 
 
 
But no matter how hard the duck tried to run, she couldn't escape the wolf. He was getting nearer a
16
 
 
28
 
 
 
And then he got her, and with one gulp, swallowed her.

29
 
 
 
And now, this is how things stood: the cat was sitting on one branch,
23
 
 
30
 
 
 
the bird on another,
9
 
 
31
 
 
 
not too close to the cat.
26
 
 
32
 
 
 
And the wolf walked round and round the tree looking at them with greedy eyes.
49
 
 
33
 
 
 
In the meantime Peter, without the slightest fear, stood behind the closed gate watching all that w
21
 
 
34
 
 
 
He ran home, got a strong rope and climbed up the high stone wall.
12
 
 
35
 
 
 
One of the branches of the tree around which the wolf was walking stretched over the wall.
21
 
 
36
 
 
 
Grabbing hold of the branch,
12
 
 
37
 
 
 
Peter lightly climbed over onto the tree.
13
 
 
38
 
 
 
Peter said to the bird: 'Fly down and circle around the wolf's head, only take care that he doesn't

39
 
 
 
The bird almost touched the wolf's head with his wings, while the wolf snapped angrily at him from
40

How that bird teased the wolf! How that wolf wanted to catch him! But the bird was too clever and t
28
 
 
41
 
 
 
Meanwhile, Peter made a lassoo, carefully letting it down, and down, and down,
22
 
 
42
 
 
 
caught the wolf by the tail and pulled with all his might.
15
 
 
43
 
 
 
Feeling himself caught, the wolf began to jump wildly, trying to get loose.
37
 
 
44
 
 
 
But Peter tied the other end of the rope to the tree,
18
 
 
45
 
 
 
and the wolf's jumping only made the rope round his tail tighter.
39
 
 
46
 
 
 
Just then,
9
 
 
47
 
 
 
the hunters came out of the woods,
10
 
 
48
 
 
 
following the wolf's trail and shooting as they went.
1:16
 
 
49
 
 
 
But Peter, sitting in the tree, said: 'Don't shoot! Birdie and I have already caught the wolf. Now,

Now, just imagine

the triumphant procession:

Peter at the head,

after him the hunters leading the wolf,

and winding up the procession, Grandfather and the cat. Grandfather shook his head discontentedly.

Above them flew Bridie chirping merrily. 'What fine fellows we are, Peter and I. Look what we have

And if one listened very carefully, they could hear the duck quacking inside the wolf, because the
