Are we all sitting comfortably?

Then let’s begin . . .

Rolf and Mrs Boggins were best friends.

“You really are a good little wolf,” Mrs Boggins told him.

Rolf liked being a good little wolf.

He liked baking tasty cakes. He ate up all his vegetables. And he was always nice to his friends.

But Mrs Boggins also said that not all wolves were good. In fact, some were downright bad.

Rolf hoped he would never bump into a big bad wolf.

“Now what do we have here?” said the Big Bad Wolf.

“You LOOK like a wolf . . . You FEEL like a wolf . . . You SMELL like a wolf . . .”

“That’s because I AM a wolf,” piped up Rolf.

“I’m a very good little wolf.”

“Good?” said the Big Bad Wolf.

“Wolves aren’t good! Wolves are BIG and BAD.”

“Real wolves howl at the moon!” hooted the Big Bad Wolf. “Real wolves blow houses in! Real wolves eat people up!”

“Well,” said Rolf. “I am a real wolf. And I’m sure I can do all of those things.”
