In the Grimm fairytale of The Wolf and the Seven Kids the mother goat comes back to find six of her seven kids swallowed up by the wolf. The wolf has eaten so much that he has fallen asleep. The mother cuts him open, the kids come out alive and well. They fill up his belly with stones, sew him up again, when he wakes up and is very thirsty he bends over the well and falls over the edge and to his death.

The mother goat needed very sharp scissors to cut through the wolf’s hide. Don’t forget, though, the smallest kid who hid in the grandfather clock was a pretty sharp cookie, too.
