Peter & the Wolf

Also known as Pierre et le loup, Piotruś i wilk, Pedro y el lobo, Sergei Prokofiev's Peter & the Wolf, Петя и волк

“Boys like Peter are not afraid of wolves...”

Peter is a slight lad, solitary, locked out of the woods by his protective grandfather, his only friend a duck. In town, he's bullied. When a wolf menaces the duck - as well as grandfather's fat cat and an ill-flying bird that Peter has befriended - Peter bravely tries to tree the wolf. Grandfather, the townspeople, and the hunters who have antagonized Peter figure in the dénouement.
