Lesson Transcript

Hi, everyone.
In this lesson, you'll practice your listening skills with one classic story told in two
surprising ways.
Listen carefully and tell us which version you prefer.
Let's begin.
The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing 2.0: The Table
The wolf zipped up his sheep costume.
He carried a basket of groceries—
fresh eggs, herbs, wild onions.
He walked the long trail to Grandma’s house.
His stomach growled louder than his instincts.
Grandma opened the door.
She raised an eyebrow.
Then she smiled.
"Come in," she said.
"You look hungry."
The house smelled amazing.
Something warm. Something with garlic.
The wolf sniffed.
"Wow… smells so good."
Grandma peeked in his basket.
"Is that fresh basil?"
The wolf paused.
Usually he took.
Now someone was asking.
Just then, Mira stepped out of the guest room.
She carried a small bag and a tea thermos.
"Thanks for the stay," she said to Grandma.
Then, to the wolf:
"Hunting every day is harder than building a system that feeds you."
The wolf looked at the basil.
Then back at the stew.
"Trade?" he asked.
Grandma nodded.
He handed over the basil.
She gave him a bowl.
It was the best thing he’d ever tasted.
Later, Red Riding Hood arrived.
They all ate together.
The zipper stayed on—
but for the first time,
it didn’t mean he was hiding.
The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing 2.0: The Disguise That Stuck
The wolf zipped up his sheep costume.
White fleece. Round belly. Black hooves.
"Perfect," he said, checking the mirror.
"Time for Grandma’s."
He walked down the trail, slow and innocent.
Birds chirped. Rabbits waved.
Everyone believed.
Until he entered the deep woods—
and heard a growl.
"What’s this?" said another wolf, stepping out.
Then another. And another.
"Looks like dinner."
"You lost, little sheep?"
"Wait!" the wolf cried.
"I’m one of you!"
They laughed.
He reached for the zipper—
but it was stuck.
He tugged harder. Nothing.
"Please—I'm not a sheep!"
But to them, he looked soft.
And full of meat.
The woods were quiet again.
Great listening!
