farmer’s young wife went to the next village to visit her
own mother and brother. She brought along her baby
son. When it as time for her to leave, her brother said ‘’ it
is getting dark. Let my son, Ah Tim go with you though
the forest’’.

behind, carrying her baby. When they were in the forest,
suddenly they saw a group of wolves. They began to run
to avoid the danger, but Ah Tim kicked against a stone
and fell down. At once the wolves caught him. The young
woman cried to the wolves, ‘’ please eat my own son
instead’’. Then, she put her baby son on the ground in
