Let’s think about the story of Little Red Riding Hood step by step.
First, we need to remember what happens in the story:
1. Little Red Riding Hood leaves her house to go visit her grandma.
2. She walks through the woods and meets a wolf.
3. The wolf runs ahead to grandma’s house, tricks grandma, and hides her.
4. When Little Red arrives, the wolf pretends to be grandma — but then he jumps out!
5. A woodcutter (or hunter) comes and saves them.
6. At the end, everyone is safe and happy again.
Now let’s look at each picture and match it to the story order:
🖼️ Picture 1 (top left):
Little Red is walking in the woods with the wolf nearby. → This is early in the story — after she leaves home, before reaching grandma’s house.
🖼️ Picture 2 (top right):
The wolf is jumping out of bed, and someone (probably the woodcutter) is raising an axe. → This is near the end — when the wolf is caught.
🖼️ Picture 3 (middle left):
Little Red is talking to “grandma” in bed — but it’s actually the wolf wearing grandma’s clothes. → This is when she arrives at the house and gets tricked.
🖼️ Picture 4 (middle right):
Little Red is saying goodbye to her mom outside their house. → This is the very beginning — before she even starts her journey.
🖼️ Picture 5 (bottom center):
A small cottage in the woods — this must be grandma’s house. But no one is there yet. → This should come after she says goodbye, but before she meets the wolf or arrives at the house.
Wait — let’s reorder carefully:
✔ Step 1: Little Red says goodbye to her mom → Picture 4 (middle right)
✔ Step 2: She walks toward grandma’s house → Picture 5 (bottom center) shows the house from afar — maybe as she approaches? Or perhaps this is just setting the scene. Actually, looking again — Picture 1 shows her already in the woods meeting the wolf. So maybe Picture 5 is meant to show her arriving at the house? No — in Picture 5, she’s standing alone outside the house. That might be *before* the wolf gets there.
Actually, let’s use logic:
- First: She leaves home → Picture 4 (saying goodbye)
- Second: She walks through the woods and meets the wolf → Picture 1
- Third: The wolf races ahead to grandma’s house → so next should be him getting there or pretending to be grandma → Picture 3 (her talking to “grandma” who is really the wolf)
- Fourth: The wolf jumps out → Picture 2 (woodcutter saving them)
- Fifth: What about Picture 5? It shows her standing outside the cottage. Maybe that’s when she first arrives — before going inside? But in Picture 3, she’s already inside talking to the wolf.
Hmm — perhaps Picture 5 is meant to be her arriving at the house — so between meeting the wolf and going inside.
But wait — in many versions, she goes straight to the house after meeting the wolf. Let’s try this order:
1. Say goodbye → Picture 4
2. Walk through woods, meet wolf → Picture 1
3. Arrive at grandma’s house → Picture 5 (standing outside)
4. Go inside, talk to “grandma” → Picture 3
5. Wolf jumps out, woodcutter saves them → Picture 2
That makes sense!
So the correct order is:
➡️ 1st: Picture 4 (say goodbye)
➡️ 2nd: Picture 1 (meet wolf in woods)
➡️ 3rd: Picture 5 (arrive at house)
➡️ 4th: Picture 3 (talk to fake grandma)
➡️ 5th: Picture 2 (wolf caught, saved)
Final Answer:
The correct order of the pictures to tell the story is:
Picture 4 → Picture 1 → Picture 5 → Picture 3 → Picture 2
