The wolf thought that was a good idea, so he sat down and waited. After a while, the lamb said, " If you allow me to dance, the grass in my stomach will be digested faster." Again the wolf agreed.
While the lamb was dancing, she had a new idea. She said, " Please take the bell from around my neck. If you ring it as hard as you can, I will be able to dance even faster."
The wolf took the bell and rang it as hard as he could. The shepherd heard the bell ringing and quickly sent his dogs to find the missing lamb. The barking dogs frightened the wolf away and saved the lamb's life.
