5 Read the eight parts (a—h) of the text and put them in a logical order to get a complete story. The first part is marked a).
Little Red Riding Hood: The Wolf’s Story
a) OK, so I got killed in the end. I’m not complaining about that. I wasn’t as clever as I thought I was. But I want you to know my story because I hate lies and the official accounts of what happened that day are all lies.
b) Anyway, as I said, I didn’t want to eat her. The fact is, I was after Red Riding Hood’s basket with all the wonderful food in it. I thought of stealing it from her there and then, but for three reasons I didn’t. First, I didn’t want to make her unhappy. Second, she might have started screaming and I don’t like screams. And third, she might have started a fight and I was in no condition for it.
c) But just my luck! At that very moment granny herself entered the room. “Hullo, Red Riding Hood, ” said Granny.
“Hullo, Grandma, ” said Red Riding Hood.
“Hullo, trouble, ” said I to myself.
“Grandma, ” said Red Riding Hood, “if you’re here, who could that be in your bed?”
“Look, ” I said, “it’s all been a terrible mistake…”
“It’s the big bad wolf!” screamed the girl.
d) The first lie is all that big-bad-wolf business. Big? I may have been average size once, but by the time I was killed, I was really skinny as I hadn’t a decent meal for weeks.
e) My plan was simple. I wanted to run to Granny’s cottage, frighten her a bit and then let her run away. Then I wanted to pretend I was Granny and get Red Riding Hood’s basket.
Only things didn’t quite work out that way. First of all, Granny wasn’t there. I thought it was my lucky day. In a few minutes, Little Red Riding Hood came along. When she knocked at the door, I was in bed.
f) Next we come to the question of motive. The history books say I wanted to eat Little Red Riding Hood. I didn’t and I can prove it. But even if I HAD wanted to eat her, what’s so terrible about that? When she had eggs and bacon for breakfast, did anyone say a word? When she had turkey for Christmas, did she think about what had happened to Mrs Turkey? What’s the difference between a little girl eating me and my mates and me eating a little girl?
g) And before I even had a chance to impress them with my intellect, Granny had shot at me three times.
They didn’t even call the vet. And while I lay there, they calmly discussed the tale they would tell the newspaper reporters. You know the story they made up only too well. But I died happy in the knowledge that nobody in the whole wide world could be stupid enough to believe it. Or was I wrong?
h) “How are you, Grandma?” she asked.
“I’m not well at all, dear, ” I said. “I’ve got a catching illness, and as I don’t want you to catch it too, I’ll stay in bed. Just leave the basket there, dear, and run along home. ”
“Yes, Grandma, ” said Red Riding Hood. She put down the basket and turned round to leave.
