LITTLE RED RINGING TONE

Reading Comprehension

READ THE STORY

Little Red Ringing Tone is a little girl who lives near the forest. She is very happy with her new mobile phone. One spring morning she hears: “Beep-Beep!” It is her fax machine. There is a long list of groceries her grandma needs: cookies, sugar, ink and some washing powder, too.

So Little Red Ringing Tone sends Granny a text message: “Dear Granny, don’t worry. I will be at your door with the groceries very soon.”

But, oh, no! Her small finger presses the wrong number and hungry Wicked Pierced Wolf picks her message! Wicked Pierced Wolf quickly writes: “Honey dear, I’d like some flowers, too. So please take the long path and pick them on your way.”

Little Red Ringing Tone buys the groceries, and sets off down the long path to pick the flowers for Granny.

Meanwhile, Wicked Pierced Wolf takes the short path and he soon arrives at Granny’s house. When the wolf knocks at the door, Granny’s chatting with her good friend, the Woodcutter.

“Who is it?” she asks.

“It’s me, Granny. Little Red Ringing Tone.”

When Granny opens the door, Wicked Pierced Wolf falls on her. He ties her up, puts her clothes on and gets into her bed. Luckily, Granny’s webcam is on and good Woodcutter can see everything!

But, while Wicked Pierced Wolf is putting Granny’s things in a big bag, the good Woodcutter calls the police.

“It’s me, Granny. Little Red Ringing Tone.” he asks.

When Little Red Ringing Tone opens the door, Wicked Pierced Wolf falls on her. He ties her up and hides her into the wardrobe with Granny.

They arrive just in time to catch the greedy Wicked Pierced Wolf. They free Little Red Ringing Tone and her granny and take Wicked Pierced Wolf to prison.

In the end, Little Red Ringing Tone and Granny thank the good Woodcutter. They are all very happy again.
