Hansel and Gretel heard screams as they made their way to their house.
They stopped and looked at each other.


“That sounds like Red Riding Hood!” Gretel said to Hansel.

“Yes! Let’s go and save her.” Hansel replied.

They ran as fast as they could to help Red Riding Hood. Thankfully, they

them, but all of a sudden, she could feel someone grabbing her left ankle. It was
the wolf who crawled to catch her. It was laying on its stomach to cover its injury.
