"The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats" is a fable collected by the Brothers Grimm, tale number 5. It is Aarne-Thompson type 123, but has a strong resemblance to "The Three Little Pigs" and other Aarne-Thomspson type 124 folktales, and to the variant of "Little Red Riding Hood" that the Grimms collected, where she is rescued.


"Der Wolf und die sieben jungen Geißlein" (oft nur "Der Wolf und die sieben Geißlein") ist ein bekanntes Tiermärchen (ATU 123). Es steht in den Kinder- und Hausmärchen der Brüder Grimm ab der 1. Auflage von 1812 an Stelle 5 (KHM 5) und ist ab der 5. Auflage beeinflusst durch "Die sieben Gaislein" in August Stöbers "Elsässisches Volksbüchlein" (1842, Nr. 242). Ludwig Bechstein übernahm es ebenfalls nach Stöber in sein Deutsches Märchenbuch als "Die sieben Geißlein" (1845 Nr. 56, 1853 Nr. 47).
