Peter and the Wolf
This story is by Sergei Prokofiev.
He is known for music, not stories.
This story is from the theatre, and music goes with it there.
Peter lives with his grandfather.
Their house is by a forest.
One morning, Peter walks into a big, green field.
His grandfather's duck follows him.
A little bird in a tree sees the duck.
The bird asks, "What kind of bird are you? Can you fly?"
The duck says, "What kind of bird are you? Can you swim?"
And the duck jumps into the water.
"Peter! Peter! What are you doing? There is a wolf in the forest," says Peter's grandfather.
"I'm not afraid of a wolf!" says Peter.
Peter and his grandfather go home.
A big wolf comes out of the forest.
The little bird flies into a tall tree.
But the duck!
Oh no!
The duck is out of the water.
The wolf eats him!
Peter comes running.
He has a rope.
The little bird helps Peter.
The bird flies around the wolf's head.
Peter puts the rope around the wolf's tail.
He catches the wolf!
Now what will they do with the wolf?
They will take him to the zoo!
Two big, strong men take the wolf.
They walk to the zoo.
Peter and his grandfather walk with them.
The little bird flies over them.
"Who is afraid of a wolf?" asks Peter.
"Not me!"
