In this retelling, a hungry old wolf is drawn to a boy "crying wolf." The wolf convinces the boy to give him a goat but ends up sparing the goat's life (and, presumably, becomes a vegetarian) when the goat eats the weeds in his garden. The generically Asian-themed illustrations add some atmosphere to this inventive (though abstruse) version.
