Little Red Riding Hood

In a little village, where the wind sings and birds chirp,

lived a girl named Little Red Riding Hood. She got her name

from her favorite red cloak, a gift from her grandma, who lived

far in the woods. Everyone in the village loved her, especially her

grandma.

One bright day, Little Red Riding Hood’s mom said, “Dear,

grandma is feeling sick. Can you take this basket to her? It has

eggs, butter, cake, and other yummy things.”

Little Red Riding Hood nodded happily, “Of course, Mommy!

Grandma will be so happy!” She put on her red cloak, took the

basket, and went into the forest.

14

During her walk, the girl saw beautiful flowers with bees flying

over them. “I’ll pick some flowers for Grandma” she thought

with a smile. She stepped off the path to gather a bouquet.

Then, she heard a voice, “Good morning, Little Red Riding

Hood.”

She turned and saw a big, gray wolf. Little Red Riding Hood

didn’t know wolves could be tricky, and she greeted him with a

smile. “Good morning!” she smiled.

“What’s in your basket?” asked the wolf.

“Eggs, butter, and cake for my sick grandma,” she said.

“Where does your grandma live?” the wolf asked.

“Down the path, past the roses, and through the gate,” she told

him.

The wolf, pleased with the information, said goodbye to Little

Red Riding Hood and hurried off to Grandma’s house. Little Red Riding Hood continued picking flowers, enjoying the

warmth of the sun and the birds’ songs.

15

The wolf reached Grandma’s house first. He sneaked in quietly and patiently waited for Little Red Riding Hood to arrive.

When Red Riding Hood got there, she said, “Good morning,

Grandma! I brought you food and flowers.”

Coming closer, she felt something was wrong.

“Grandma, your ears are so big!”

“They help me hear you better, dear.”

“Your eyes are so big!”

“They help me see you better, dear.”

“Your nose is so big!”

“It helps me smell better, dear.”

“And your mouth is so big!”

“The better to eat you with, my dear!” the wolf jumped up.

16

Little Red Riding Hood ran around the room, shouting,

“Help! Wolf!” as loudly as she could. Just then, Little Red Riding Hood’s dad came in. Hearing her shout, he rushed in and

stopped the wolf, chasing him out of the house and into the forest.

Realizing his defeat, the wolf ran away with a howl and never

dared to come near the village again.

Little Red Riding Hood hugged her dad tightly. “Thank you,

Daddy,” she whispered, her heart still pounding with fear.

Little Red Riding Hood and her dad checked on Grandma. It

turned out that Grandma had cleverly hidden in the closet as

soon as she saw the wolf entering the house. Stepping out of her

hiding place, safe and sound, she hugged Little Red Riding

Hood and her dad tightly. “I’m so glad you are safe!” she said,

tears of relief streaming down her cheeks.

“I promise to be more careful,” said Little Red Riding Hood.

From that day on, Little Red Riding Hood always stayed cautious during her walks through the forest. She never talked to

strangers and always stayed on the path.

17

And so, they lived happily ever after 🎵, filling the village with

their laughter and love. All thanks to a brave little girl in a red

cloak and her dad.

The Emperor’s

New Clothes

Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom 🎵, there lived an

emperor who adored new clothes more than anything else

in the world. He had a different outfit for every hour of the day!

His wardrobe was so big that it took up an entire wing of the

palace. The emperor loved to parade through the city, showing

off his splendid attire to all his subjects.

One sunny day, two strangers came 🎵 to the kingdom. They

called themselves master tailors and claimed to make the most

magnificent fabrics ever seen. But these weren’t just any ordinary fabrics. Oh no! These fabrics were magical. They said that

the cloth they wove was invisible to anyone who was foolish or

not good at their job.

20

When the emperor heard about these magical tailors, he was

thrilled. “Imagine!” he thought. “If I had clothes made from

that fabric, I could find out who in my kingdom is unfit for their

position. And of course, I’ll have the most fabulous outfit ever!”

He invited the two tailors to the palace. They set up looms and

pretended to work, but in reality, they were just stuffing their

bags with gold and silk threads the emperor had given them.

Day after day, they acted like they were weaving, but there was

nothing on their looms.

Curious about their progress, the emperor sent his most trusted

minister to check on the tailors. The minister walked into the

room and saw… nothing! But he didn’t want to admit that he

couldn’t see the fabric, because that would mean he was foolish

or unfit for his job. So he exclaimed, “Oh, it’s marvelous! The

colors, the patterns—simply exquisite!”

The tailors beamed. “We’re so glad you like it,” they said, and

they described the intricate designs they were “weaving.”

Soon, the news of the magical fabric spread throughout the

kingdom. Everyone was excited and a little nervous. They all

wondered, “Will I be able to see the cloth?”

21

Finally, the day came when the tailors announced that the emperor’s new clothes were ready. They pretended to hold up the

invisible outfit. “here it is 🎵, Your Majesty! The jacket is as light

as a feather, and the trousers fit like a dream.”

The emperor looked in the mirror and saw… nothing! But just

like the minister, he didn’t want to seem foolish. So he nodded

enthusiastically. “It’s fantastic! I couldn’t be more pleased.”

All the courtiers agreed 🎵, clapping their hands and exclaiming

how wonderful the emperor looked in his new clothes.

The tailors said, “Now, Your Majesty, you must parade through

the city to show off your splendid new outfit.”

The emperor agreed, and a grand procession was planned 🎵.

The streets were decorated with colorful banners, and all the

people gathered to see their emperor in his magical new clothes.

As the emperor marched proudly down the street, the townspeople cheered. But deep down, they were puzzled. They couldn’t

see any clothes on the emperor! Still, they didn’t want to appear

foolish, so they clapped and shouted, “How splendid our em22

peror looks! What a beautiful outfit!”

Then, suddenly, a small child tugged at his mother’s sleeve and

asked in a loud voice, “Mommy, why isn’t the emperor wearing

any clothes?”

The crowd grew quiet. They whispered among themselves 🎵.

“Did you hear what that child said? He doesn’t see the clothes!”

Then another child piped up, “I can’t see them either!”

The whispers turned into murmurs, and soon the whole crowd

was saying, “The emperor isn’t wearing any clothes!”

The emperor heard the voices 🎵 and realized that the people

were right. He felt very embarrassed but thought, “I must finish

the parade.”

So he stood up straight and continued marching 🎵, his head

held high, even though he knew he had been fooled.

The two tailors, however, were nowhere to be found. They had

slipped away with all the gold and silk threads, never to be seen

again.

23

From that day on, the emperor learned an important lesson 🎵

about honesty and humility. He promised to be more thoughtful and to value the truth, no matter how difficult it might be to

hear.

And the people of the kingdom learned that it’s okay to speak up

when something doesn’t seem right. After all, even a small voice

can reveal great truths.

The End

Puss in Boots

Once upon a time, there was a miller who had three sons.

when he died 🎵, he left them only three things: his mill,

his donkey, and his cat. They quickly divided these things

among themselves without any lawyers, because lawyers would

have taken everything for themselves!

The oldest son got the mill 🎵, and the second son got the donkey 🎵. So, the youngest son was left with just the cat 🎵. He felt

pretty sad about this.

“My brothers can work together to make money,” he said, “but

all I can do is eat my cat and make a pair of gloves from its fur.

Then I’ll probably starve 🎵!”

26

The cat heard this and pretended not to listen. Then he said very

seriously, “Don’t worry, Master. Just get me a bag and some

cool boots so I can walk in the woods. You’ll see that your part

of the inheritance isn’t so bad after all.”

Now, this cat was known for being pretty clever. When catching

mice, he would hide in flour and hang upside down, pretending to be dead. So even though his master didn’t totally believe

what the cat said, he felt a little hopeful.

When the cat got his new boots, he put them on happily 🎵.

He hung the bag around his neck and set off to a place where

lots of rabbits lived. He put some food in the bag and lay down,

pretending to be dead. His plan was to wait for a young, naive

rabbit to come looking for the food.

Soon enough, a silly young rabbit went into the bag. The cat

quickly pulled the strings tight and caught it.

Feeling proud of his catch, the cat went to the king’s palace.

He asked to see the king and was let in. He bowed to the king

and said, “Your Majesty, I bring you a rabbit from the estate of

the Marquis of Carabas. He asked me to give it to you as a gift.”

(The cat made up this fancy title for his master.)

27

“Tell your master thank you.” said the king. “I appreciate hisgift.”

Another time, the cat hid in a wheat field with his bag open.

two birds 🎵 flew in, and he caught them both. He took them to

the king just like he did with the rabbit. The king was really

happy and even gave the cat a treat.

For a few months, the cat kept bringing gifts to the king, saying

they were from his master. One day, he heard that the king was

going on a trip by the river 🎵 with his daughter, who was the

most beautiful princess 🎵 in the world.

“If you do what I say,” the cat told his master, “you’ll become

rich. Just go swimming in the river where I tell you to. I’ll take

care of the rest.”

The master didn’t know what the cat was planning, but he did

it anyway.

while he was swimming 🎵, the king’s carriage came by.

The cat started shouting, “Help! Help! The Marquis of Carabas

28

is drowning!”

The king looked out of his carriage and recognized the cat who

always brought him gifts. He told his guards to help the marquis.

While they were helping the master out of the river, the cat told

the king that some thieves had stolen his master’s clothes while

he was swimming. Actually, the cat had hidden the clothes

under a big rock. The king immediately ordered his servants to

bring some of his own fancy clothes for the marquis.

The king liked the marquis right away. The princess thought

he was very handsome in his new clothes and fell in love with

him instantly. The king invited him to join them in the carriage.

Happy that his plan was working, the cat ran ahead 🎵. He came

across some farmers working in a field.

“Listen up, guys,” he said. “When the king comes by, tell him

this field belongs to the Marquis of Carabas. If you don’t, you’ll

be in big trouble!”

When the king asked the farmers who owned the field, they all

29

said it belonged to the Marquis of Carabas, because they were

scared of the cat’s threat.

“You have a great property,” the king told the marquis.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” replied the marquis. “This field always

gives us lots of crops every year.”

The cat kept running ahead 🎵, telling everyone he met to say

their land belonged to the Marquis of Carabas. The king was

really impressed by how much land the marquis seemed to own.

Finally, the cat reached a huge castle 🎵 that belonged to a giant. This giant was super rich and owned all the land they had

passed through.

The cat had found out about this giant and his powers. He asked

to meet the giant, saying he couldn’t pass by without saying hello.

The giant welcomed him and asked him to sit down.

“I’ve heard,” said the cat, “that you can turn into any animal you

want. Is it true you can become a lion or an elephant?”

30

“That’s right,” said the giant. “Watch this – I’ll turn into a

lion!”

The cat was so scared 🎵 when he saw the lion that he jumped

onto the roof, even though it was hard with his boots on.

When the giant changed back, the cat came down and admitted

he had been scared.

“I’ve also heard,” he added, “that you can turn into tiny animals

too, like a rat or a mouse. But that seems impossible to me.”

“Impossible?” cried the giant. “Just watch!” And he turned

into a mouse.

As soon as the cat saw the mouse, he pounced on it and ate it up.
