Answer: Her grandmother

Little Red Riding Hood was a sweet girl who wore a bright red cloak with a hood. One day, her mother asked her to take a basket of food to her grandmother, who lived in a little house in the woods. 'Stay on the path, or you might fall down and break the glass,' her mother warned. As Red Riding Hood walked through the forest, she met a big, clever wolf. He asked where she was going, and she told him about her grandmother. The wolf smiled and ran ahead to get there first.

The wolf knocked on Grandma's door, came inside, and ate her up. When Little Red Riding Hood arrived, she noticed something strange. 'Grandmother, what big eyes you have!' she said. 'All the better to see you with', the wolf replied. 'What big ears you have!' 'All the better to hear you with'. 'What big teeth you have!' 'All the better to eat you with! The wolf jumped on top of poor Little Red Riding Hood and ate her up.

Just then, a woodcutter nearby heard the noise and rushed in to save them. He took an axe and cut open the wolf's belly and Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma came out safe and sound. They filled the wolf's body with stones, and when he woke up and tried to run away, the stones were so heavy that he fell down dead.

Answer: Bricks

Once upon a time, three little pigs left home to build their own houses. The first pig built a house of straw because it was quick and easy. The second pig made his house out of sticks, which was a little stronger. But the third pig worked hard and built his house with bricks, which took longer but was very strong.

One day, a big bad wolf came along. He huffed and puffed and blew down the first pig's straw house and ate the pig. The wolf then blows down the second pig's stick house and eats him too. Next, the wolf arrived at the third pig's house made of bricks and huffed and puffed, but he couldn't blow it down.

The wolf then climbed up to the roof and came down the chimney! But the third pig is clever. He lights a fire in the fireplace and puts a big pot of boiling water underneath. When the wolf slides down, he gets fatally boiled, avenging the death of the first two pigs. After cooking the wolf, the pig proceeds to eat him for dinner.

Before they could say anything, Goldilocks jumped, and no one knows what happened to her, but the three bears never heard from her again.

Answer: He saw his own reflection

Once upon a time, a mother duck had a nest full of eggs. One by one, the eggs hatched, and out came fluffy yellow ducklings. But one egg was bigger than the rest. When it finally cracked open, out came a large, grey bird that didn't look like the others. The other ducklings teased him and called him the 'ugly duckling'. He felt sad and lonely, so he ran away to find a place where he belonged.

The ugly duckling wandered through the seasons, facing cold winters and unkind animals. But he kept going, hoping to find kindness and a home. One spring day, he saw beautiful white birds gliding on a pond and decided to throw himself at them and ask for mercy.

To his surprise, the swans welcomed him, and when he looked at his reflection in the water, he was amazed, because he had grown into a beautiful swan. He finally felt happy and loved. He wasn't an ugly duckling after all. He had been a swan the whole time.

Answer: To prove she was a real princess

Once upon a time, a prince wanted to marry a real princess. He searched all over the world, but could never be sure that the princesses he met were real ones. One stormy night, a girl knocked on the castle door. She was very wet from the heavy rain, but said she was a princess. The queen wasn't sure, so she came up with a clever test to find out if the girl was truly royal.

The queen placed a tiny pea under the bed, then stacked twenty mattresses and twenty soft blankets on top. The girl slept there that night. In the morning, she said she hadn't slept well, because something hard had bothered her all night!

The queen smiled. Only a real princess would be sensitive enough to feel a little pea through all those layers. The prince was delighted, and they got married. The pea was put in a museum, and everyone lived happily ever after.

Answer: He turned into a prince

One day, a haughty princess dropped her golden ball into a well. She was very sad and didn't know how to get it back. Suddenly, a little frog popped out of the water and said he could help, but only if she promised to be his friend and let him eat from her plate and sleep on her pillow. The princess agreed, but she didn't really mean it. After the frog gave her the ball, she ran away and left him behind.

Later, the frog came to the castle and reminded the princess of her promise. She didn't want to let him in, but her father said she must keep her word. So the frog ate dinner with her. The frog then asked to sleep in her bed. She was disgusted and put him in a corner of the room, but he jumped onto her bed.

The princess was furious and threw him against the wall and something magical happened, because the frog turned into a handsome prince! A spell cast by an evil witch had turned him into a frog and it could only be broken by a princess helping him. The following day, they got married and lived happily ever after.

Answer: He climbed her hair

Rapunzel was a girl with long, golden hair who lived in a tall tower deep in the forest. A wicked witch had taken her away as a baby and kept her locked in the tower with no stairs and no door, only one window at the top. Every day, the witch would call out, 'Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!' and Rapunzel would lower her long braid so the witch could climb up.

One day, a prince heard Rapunzel singing and found the tower. He called out just like the witch, and Rapunzel let down her hair. The prince climbed up and they fall in love. When the witch found out, she was furious and sent Rapunzel far away.

The prince returned to the tower but only the witch was there, so he fled and became blind when he fell from the tower into thorny bushes. The thorns hurt his eyes so badly that he couldn't see anymore.

The prince searched and searched until he found Rapunzel again. They were so happy to be together, and Rapunzel cried tears of joy. Her magical tears fell on his eyes and healed them. They lived happily ever after, free from the tower and the witch.

Answer: During the night

Once upon a time, there was a kind shoemaker who lived with his wife. He was very poor and only had enough leather to make one last pair of shoes. That night, he cut the leather and left it on his workbench. In the morning, he was amazed, because the shoes were already made! They were beautiful and perfect. A customer bought them right away, and the shoemaker used the money to buy more leather.

Every night, the shoemaker left leather on the table, and every morning, new shoes appeared. He and his wife wondered who was helping them. One night, they stayed up and saw two tiny elves working quietly and quickly.

The shoemaker and his wife wanted to thank them, so they made little clothes and shoes for the elves. When the elves found the gifts, they danced with joy and disappeared into the night. The shoemaker was never poor again, and he always remembered the elves' kindness.
