"The Wolf and The Seven Young Kids" teaches children to be creative, take action, create and do projects that are of service to greater things, to others, to the planet. Do this while living a balanced life, with patience, compromise, selfless love and you will succeed. How does the story teach this to children? The story does this through symbol, through allegory. The reader transfers the idea to the child through an interest and understanding of the allegory in fairy tales.
