Peter and the Wolf
|
|
 |
Once upon a time, there lived an old man with his grandson in their garden. |
|
"Peter, you must never leave the garden to go to the meadow because there is a wolf hiding in the forest that will eat you!" said the grandfather. |
|
|
|
Peter promised, but on a beautiful sunny day, he couldn't resist going for a walk in the meadow. So he left the garden. |
|
Soon, Peter saw a bird flying in the air near him so he asked, "Did you see the wolf today, my friend?" |
|
The bird replied, "Nope, but you better warn the duck following behind you because she wants to go for a swim in that pond in the meadow." |
|
As they were talking, a cat jumped out from behind the bird and tried to catch it in the air. "Watch out, bird!" yelled Peter. |
|
The little bird soon noticed the cat from behind then flew safely up higher into the air. "Thank you Peter, thank you," said the bird gratefully. |
|
Later, Peter's grandfather saw him wandering around in the meadow so he yelled for his return. Peter returned, but left all his animal friends in the meadow. |
|
|
|
Meanwhile, the wolf showed up and started to chase after the bird, the cat and the duck in the meadow. |
|
The bird and the cat escaped successfully, but the duck was too slow so the wolf caught her and swallowed her whole. |
|
Peter saw the whole act from his garden and was stunned. But soon, he came up with a great plan to save the duck. |
|
|
|
 |
In no time, Peter gave the wolf to the village people and they sent him to the zoo. |
