The Little Girl and the Wolf

One afternoon a big wolf (1. wait)_______ in a dark forest for a little girl to come along carrying

a basket of food to her grandmother. Finally a little girl did come along and she (2. carry)______ a

basket of food. “Are you carrying that basket to your grandmother?” asked the wolf. The little girl

said yes, she was. So the wolf (3. ask)______ her where her grandmother lived and the little girl (4.

tell)______ him and he (5. disappear)______ into the wood.

When the little girl (6. open)______ the door of her grandmother’s house she (7. see)______ that

there was somebody in bed with a nightcap and nightgown on. She (8. approach)______ no nearer

than twenty-five feet from the bed when she (9. see)_____ that it was not her grandmother but the

wolf, for even in a nightcap a wolf does not look in the least like anybody’s grandmother. So the

little girl (10. take)______ an automatic pistol out of her basket and (11. shoot)______ the wolf dead.

(Moral: It is not so easy to fool little girls nowadays as it used to be.)
