The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids

A motherless family of seven little kids lives with a wolf who poses as their grandmother. The wolf eats six of the kids and hides their bodies under his bed. When the seventh kid returns home, the wolf tries to eat her but she outsmarts him by hiding in a closet. The wolf then cuts open the closet with an axe, but the kid escapes through the chimney.
