story: A mother wolf asked each of her daughters hunt some food to take with them on a journey. Along their way, they consult a witch. The woman told them to look out her back door. On the third day, the older pup sees a coach come for her and leaves with it, delighted; the second daughter finds a coach and leaves; but the third and youngest finds a man, and the witch tells her she walk with.
The daughter is terrified but goes off with the man, who surprises her by being kind and gentle. The first night they come to a house which belonged to the man's older brother. The daughter is treated greatly. As a parting gift she is given a beautiful apple and told to use it when she comes to the greatest need she has ever had. The second night, they once more stay at a house that belonged to the man's other brother. Once more she receives a parting gift: a beautiful pear, only used for the second greatest need; the third night, they are hosted at the youngest brother's house, and the daughter is given a final gift of a beautiful plum, only for the third greatest need of her life. At last, the pup and the man arrive at a valley.
"You must wait here," the bull tells the girl, "and whatever you do, do not move, even an inch, or I will not be able to find you."
Unable to climb out of the valley, the pup runs alone until she finds a weaponsmith. He tells her that if she serves him for seven weeks, he will make her a weapon to protect. When seven weeks came and went, the weaponsmith, made the pup - now a young wolf - a weapon to protect the with.
The young wolf goes back to the home of the witch, who offers shelter if she will wash some bloody shirts that both she and her daughter have been unable to clean. Whoever could clean the shirts would marry the knight staying at her home. No sooner has the young wolf touched the soap to the shirts did the bloodstains vanish. The man did not believe her.
Desperate, the young wolf realizes that she is in the first great need of her life. She breaks open the apple, and finds it full of rich jewelry. She offers the jewelry to the witch's daughter, in exchange for being allowed to sing outside the knight's room at night. But the witch gives her daughter a sleeping-drink to offer the knight, she sobs and sings:
"Seven long weeks I served for thee,
The bloody clothes I washed for thee;
And you will still not wake for me?"
She is in the second great need of her life, so she tries the pear, and finds it full of jewelry richer than that of the apple, but the second night goes as before. Finally, the young woman is in the third great need of her life, and breaks the plum to find the richest jewelry yet. This time, though the sleeping-drink is brought again, the knight accidentally knocks it over. She told him the truth and they lived happily ever after.
