ONCE UPON A TIME...

And they lived happily ever after.

I read and listened to many fairy tales. Which fairy tales do you know?

Little Red saw very beautiful flowers under a tree. She stopped and picked some for her granny.

A few minutes later, she reached the house. She looked at the wolf and asked some questions.

The wolf ran away and they never saw it again.
And they lived happily ever after.

One day, she went to visit her granny. She had a nice cake in her basket.

On the way, a wolf saw her. The wolf was very hungry. The wolf arrived at Granny’s home before the little girl.
