The noise seemed to be coming from further up the valley. Clutching her torch, Red headed uphill, and the sound only got louder as she went! “I’m getting close to the Big Bad Wolf’s cave!” she thought. “I wonder if the noise is keeping him up too?” A year ago, Little Red Riding Hood would have been nervous about going near the Big Bad Wolf’s cave.

He jumped up and wagged his tail as they gave him his morning pats! The next ten minutes were very busy as the humans did their human things in the kitchen.

When the monkey saw the shark’s triangular fin cutting through the water towards his tree, he would hang down from a branch and wave in welcome.
