THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR


STORY

In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf. One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and – pop! – out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar. He started to look for some food.

On MONDAY he ate through one  apple.
But he was still hungry.
On TUESDAY he ate through two  pears,
but he was still hungry.
On WEDNESDAY he ate through three plums,
but he was still hungry.
On THURSDAY he ate through four strawberries,
but he was  still hungry.
On FRIDAY he ate through five  oranges,
but he was still hungry.

On Saturday he ate through
one piece of  chocolate cake, one ice cream cone,
one  pickle,
one slice of  Swiss cheese,
one slice of  salami,
one  lollipop,
one piece of  cherry pie,
one sausage,
one  cupcake and
one slice of  watermelon.

That night he had a stomach ache!

The next day was Sunday again.
The caterpillar ate through
one nice green  leaf,
and after that he felt
much better

Now he wasn’t hungry any more - and he wasn’t a little caterpillar any more.
He was a big, fat caterpillar.
He built a small house, called a cocoon, around himself. He stayed inside for more than two weeks.
Then he nibbled a hole in the cocoon, pushed his way out and …

… he was a beautiful butterfly!


The Gruffalo:

A mouse took a stroll through a deep dark wood.

A fox saw a mouse and the mouse looked good.

FOX: “Where are you going to, little brown mouse? Come and have lunch in my underground house.”

MOUSE: “It’s terribly kind of you, fox, but no – I’m going to have lunch with a gruffalo.”

FOX:“A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?”

MOUSE: “A gruffalo! Why didn’t you know? He has terrible tusks, and terrible claws, and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws.”

FOX:“Where are you meeting him?”

MOUSE:“Here, by these rocks, and his favorite food is roasted fox!”

FOX:“Roasted fox! I’m off!”Fox said. “Goodbye, little mouse,”and away he sped.

MOUSE:“Silly old fox! Doesn’t he know, there’s no such thing as a gruffalo?”


On went the mouse through the deep dark wood. An owl saw the mouse and the mouse looked good.

OWL:Where are you going, little brown mouse? Come and have tea in my tree top house.”

MOUSE:“It’s frightfully nice of you, Owl, but no - I am going to have tea with a gruffalo.”

OWL:“A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?”

MOUSE:“A gruffalo! Why didn’t you know? He has knobbly knees, and turned out toes, 

and a poisonous wart at the end of his nose.”

OWL:“Where are you meeting him?”

MOUSE:“Here, by this stream, and his favorite food is owl ice cream!”

OWL:“Owl Ice cream? Too whit – toowhoo! Goodbye, little mouse,”

and away Owl flew

MOUSE: “Silly old owl! Doesn’t he know, there’s no such thing as a gruffalo?”

On went the mouse through the dark deep wood. A snake saw the mouse and the mouse looked

good.


SNAKE: “Where are you going to, little brown mouse. Come for a feast in my logpile house.”

“It’s wonderfully good of you, Snake, but no - I’m having a feast with a gruffalo.”

SNAKE: “A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?”

MOUSE:“A gruffalo! Why didn’t you know? His eyes are orange, his tongue is black; he has purple prickles all over his back.”

SNAKE: “Where are you meeting him?”

MOUSE:“Here, by this lake, and his favorite food is scrambled snake!”

SNAKE: “Scrambled snake! It’s time I hid! Goodbye, little mouse,”

and away Snake slid.

MOUSE:“Silly old snake! Doesn’t he know, there’s no suchthing as a gruffalo...

oh” But who is this creature with terrible claws And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws?

He has knobbly knees and turned-out toes And a poisonous wart at the end of his nose.

His eyes are orange, his tongue is black; He has purple prickles all over his back.

“Ohh help! Oh no! It’s a gruffalo!”

GRUFFALO:“My favorite food!” the Gruffalo said.

“You’ll taste good on a slice of bread!”

MOUSE:“Good?”said the mouse.

MOUSE:“Don’t call me good! I’m the scariest creature in this wood.

Just walk behind me and soon you’ll see, Everyone is afraid of me!”

GRUFFALO:“All right,” said the Gruffalo, bursting with laughter.

“You go ahead and I’ll follow after!”

They walked and they walked and the Gruffalo said,

“I hear a hiss in the leaves ahead.”

MOUSE:“It’s snake,”said the mouse“Why, Snake, hello!”

Snake took one look at the Gruffalo.

SNAKE:“Oh crumbs!” he said,“Goodbye little mouse,”

And off he slid to his logpile house.

MOUSE:“You see?”said the mouse.“I told you so.”

GRUFFALO:“Amazing!” said the Gruffalo.

They walked some more till the Gruffalo said,

GRUFFALO:“I hear a hoot in the trees ahead.”

MOUSE:“It’s owl,” said the mouse.“Why, Owl, hello,!”

Owl took one look at the Gruffalo

OWL:“Oh dear!” he said,“Goodbye, little mouse,”

And off he flew to his treetop house

MOUSE:“You see?” said the mouse.“I told you so.”

GRUFFALO:“Astounding!” said the Gruffalo.

They walked some more till the Gruffallo said,

GRUFFALO:“I can hear feet on the path ahead.”

MOUSE: “It’s Fox,” said the mouse.“Why, Fox, hello!”

Fox took one look at the Gruffalo.

FOX: “Oh help!”he said,“Goodbye little mouse,”

and off he ran to his underground house.

MOUSE:“Well, Gruffalo,”said the mouse.“You see? EVERYONE is afraid of me!

But now my tummy’s beginning to rumble .MY favorite food is Gruffalo crumble!”

GRUFFALO:“Gruffalo crumble!” the Gruffalo said, and quick as the wind he turned and fled.

All was quiet in the deep dark wood.

The mouse found a nut

 and the nut was good.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Goldilocks. She went for a walk in the forest. Pretty soon, she came upon a house. She knocked and, when no one answered, she walked right in.

At the table in the kitchen, there were three bowls of porridge. Goldilocks was hungry. She tasted the porridge from the first bowl.

"This porridge is too hot!" she exclaimed.

So, she tasted the porridge from the second bowl.

"This porridge is too cold," she said

So, she tasted the last bowl of porridge.

"Ahhh, this porridge is just right," she said happily and she ate it all up.

After she'd eaten the three bears' breakfasts she decided she was feeling a little tired. So, she walked into the living room where she saw three chairs. Goldilocks sat in the first chair to rest her feet.

"This chair is too big!" she exclaimed.

So she sat in the second chair.

"This chair is too big, too!" she whined.

So she tried the last and smallest chair.

"Ahhh, this chair is just right," she sighed. But just as she settled down into the chair to rest, it broke into pieces!

Goldilocks was very tired by this time, so she went upstairs to the bedroom. She lay down in the first bed, but it was too hard. Then she lay in the second bed, but it was too soft. Then she lay down in the third bed and it was just right. Goldilocks fell asleep.

As she was sleeping, the three bears came home.

"Someone's been eating my porridge," growled the Papa bear.

"Someone's been eating my porridge," said the Mama bear.

"Someone's been eating my porridge and they ate it all up!" cried the Baby bear.

"Someone's been sitting in my chair," growled the Papa bear.

"Someone's been sitting in my chair," said the Mama bear.

"Someone's been sitting in my chair and they've broken it all to pieces," cried the Baby bear.

They decided to look around some more and when they got upstairs to the bedroom, Papa bear growled, "Someone's been sleeping in my bed,"

"Someone's been sleeping in my bed, too" said the Mama bear

"Someone's been sleeping in my bed and she's still there!" exclaimed Baby bear.

Just then, Goldilocks woke up and saw the three bears. She screamed, "Help!" And she jumped up and ran out of the room. Goldilocks ran down the stairs, opened the door, and ran away into the forest. And she never returned to the home of the three bears.
THE END

Little Red Riding Hood

by Leanne Guenther


Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived in a village near the forest. Whenever she went out, the little girl wore a red riding cloak, so everyone in the village called her Little Red Riding Hood.

One morning, Little Red Riding Hood asked her mother if she could go to visit her grandmother as it had been awhile since they'd seen each other.

"That's a good idea," her mother said. So they packed a nice basket for Little Red Riding Hood to take to her grandmother.

When the basket was ready, the little girl put on her red cloak and kissed her mother goodbye.

"Remember, go straight to Grandma's house," her mother cautioned. "Don't dawdle along the way and please don't talk to strangers! The woods are dangerous."

"Don't worry, mommy," said Little Red Riding Hood, "I'll be careful."

But when Little Red Riding Hood noticed some lovely flowers in the woods, she forgot her promise to her mother. She picked a few, watched the butterflies flit about for awhile, listened to the frogs croaking and then picked a few more.

Little Red Riding Hood was enjoying the warm summer day so much, that she didn't notice a dark shadow approaching out of the forest behind her...

Suddenly, the wolf appeared beside her.

"What are you doing out here, little girl?" the wolf asked in a voice as friendly as he could muster.

"I'm on my way to see my Grandma who lives through the forest, near the brook," Little Red Riding Hood replied.

Then she realized how late she was and quickly excused herself, rushing down the path to her Grandma's house.

The wolf, in the meantime, took a shortcut...

The wolf, a little out of breath from running, arrived at Grandma's and knocked lightly at the door.

"Oh thank goodness dear! Come in, come in! I was worried sick that something had happened to you in the forest," said Grandma thinking that the knock was her granddaughter.

The wolf let himself in. Poor Granny did not have time to say another word, before the wolf gobbled her up!

The wolf let out a satisfied burp, and then poked through Granny's wardrobe to find a nightgown that he liked. He added a frilly sleeping cap, and for good measure, dabbed some of Granny's perfume behind his pointy ears.

A few minutes later, Red Riding Hood knocked on the door. The wolf jumped into bed and pulled the covers over his nose. "Who is it?" he called in a cackly voice.

"It's me, Little Red Riding Hood."

"Oh how lovely! Do come in, my dear," croaked the wolf.

When Little Red Riding Hood entered the little cottage, she could scarcely recognize her Grandmother.

"Grandmother! Your voice sounds so odd. Is something the matter?" she asked.

"Oh, I just have touch of a cold," squeaked the wolf adding a cough at the end to prove the point.

"But Grandmother! What big ears you have," said Little Red Riding Hood as she edged closer to the bed.

"The better to hear you with, my dear," replied the wolf.

"But Grandmother! What big eyes you have," said Little Red Riding Hood.

"The better to see you with, my dear," replied the wolf.

"But Grandmother! What big teeth you have," said Little Red Riding Hood her voice quivering slightly.

"The better to eat you with, my dear," roared the wolf and he leapt out of the bed and began to chase the little girl.

Almost too late, Little Red Riding Hood realized that the person in the bed was not her Grandmother, but a hungry wolf.

She ran across the room and through the door, shouting, "Help! Wolf!" as loudly as she could.

A woodsman who was chopping logs nearby heard her cry and ran towards the cottage as fast as he could.

He grabbed the wolf and made him spit out the poor Grandmother who was a bit frazzled by the whole experience, but still in one piece."Oh Grandma, I was so scared!" sobbed Little Red Riding Hood, "I'll never speak to strangers or dawdle in the forest again."

"There, there, child. You've learned an important lesson. Thank goodness you shouted loud enough for this kind woodsman to hear you!"

The woodsman knocked out the wolf and carried him deep into the forest where he wouldn't bother people any longer.

Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandmother had a nice lunch and a long chat.
