Last Saturday, a frail old
lady was gobbled up by a wolf.
Mrs. Pie was in bed in her
cottage in Whaddon Woods when she heard a knock at the door.
“I was expecting my granddaughter, Little Red Riding Hood,” said Mrs. Pie, “so I just shouted ‘Come in!’”
But Mrs Pie had no idea that her visitor was
actually the Big Bad Wolf. He barged into her
bedroom and gobbled Mrs Pie up, swallowing her whole.
“It was so dark and smelly inside him,” said Mrs. Pie. “I didn’t think I’d come out alive.”

The hero of the day - Will the Woodcutter

Luckily, Will Wood, a local woodcutter, was passing by and saw the wolf enter Mrs. Pie’s cottage. He burst in and cut the wolf open with his axe.. Mrs. Pie was scared, but alive.
“I saw the wolf go into the cottage and I knew I had to help,” said Will. “I am just glad I could help.”
Mrs Pie has put a lock on her door to keep any other
unwelcome guests away.
