-Mummy.

-Mummy!

Puffy took her slippers and went to look for her mother.

In the kitchen she found her, speaking on phone.

-Yes, mom, I'll do that. Bye. Please, not now. Bye. I too. Bye. Yes, kiss, kiss. Bye.

-Mummy, I looked for you.

-Mom, I have to go now. Puffy is waiting for me… No, she cannot… Yes, only me… I Love you… Bye… Tomorrow… Bye …Mom!...I don't yell on you, but I have to go. Sorry. Bye.

-Mummy, why do you throw the phone?

-Because it is too hot.

-Why?

-I wanted to talk with your grandma, to know if grandpa is well, but after, (looked on her watch) what!, hour and quarter, I had to stop. And I still don't know if grandpa is well.

-Then phone her once more.

-Ow, no! Not today. What's more, I promised you to continue with the story.

-Yes, that's why I went to look for you.

-Well, go to the bed, I'll be there in a minute.

| The prince brought some dry branches and Johny spit some fire on it and the rest of the night they sat near the bonfire, singing and dancing.

|In the morning it was the wolf, who opened eyes first. And only because he smelled something.

|In the middle of the clearing stood a skunk and shivered from fright. Wolf moved his nose from side to side, but everywhere he found this terrible stink. He didn't know how skunk came here, but being between wolf, dragon and people, easily explained why he was terrified and stinking.

|The wolf felt dizziness and last evening dinner beginning it's way back up to the mouth. So he ran to wake everybody and they hardly escaped, almost leaving the dragon fainted near the bonfire. It took one horsepower to drag him into the forest.

|There they stopped and drank fresh, unstunk forest fresh air. Never they enjoyed breathing as now. The usual thing became very pleasant for them. King was smiling, the dragon began to sing, white horse ran in circles.

|Wolf was the first to see a squirrel standing near far tree and showing him a fist.

|-Do you think that if you are big you can do anything you want? (squirrel continued to move the fist forward and back, then showed the tongue.)

|-What are you talking about? (Can you see a wolf making astonished face? Well, his teeth showed out and sparkled under morning sun.)

|The squirrel ran to hide behind the tree that stood much further from the wolf. -I am not afraid of you. I am not afraid!

|The dragon decided to intervene into this strange conversation and even opened his mouth to say something, but instead of words, fire came from his mouth.

|The squirrel began to shake uncontrollably and then fell on the ground.

|-Boys!. Don't you see that you make him afraid? - The Little Red Riding Hood  ran to the squirrel, took him between her gentle hands and began to caress.

|-What? Where am I? Who are you?

|-I am The once little, now adult Red Riding Hood. You have no reason to be afraid of them I won't permit to do you any harm. I promise.

|-Thank you. Do you promise that the bad wolf won't eat me and that cruel dragon won't burn me?

|-What! I am not cruel -This time the dragon breathed with angry fire.

|-And I am not bad!. Not now at least. Well, once I was. But not now. Really. King, tell him, that I am good now. Little Red Riding Hood, tell him. Did I eat you now? I stopped it years ago. I am not bad. -Tears began to drop on the earth under wolf's head.

|The squirrel explained that he brought skunk to the clearing where friends slept because he was angry with the wolf for kicking the squirrel with leg yesterday. It took some time to pacify him and to accept wolf's excuses. At last the squirrel quietly told something to the Little Red Riding Hood.

|-What he is whispering you?

|-He wants to be our new friend and go with us to help the king take his kingdom back.

|-He is too little -said king.

|-Do you feel so sure to win that you don't need little help? - with a tonne of sarcasm threw Little Red Riding Hood his way.

|-Well, if you put it this way.

|And they continued to Goldilocks with their new friend.

-Good night, mummy.

-Let me hug you first.
