5. Look at the endings of the stories,are the endings similar or different? Explain

The wolf, the ogress and the tiger were villains of three stories. They all tried to kill the
characters in order to eat them by deceiving them. They disguised themselves as their closest one
but ultimately failed.

In the little red riding hood, the girl was told not to stray from the road by her mother but when
the wolf tricked her, she Didn’t obey her mother’s saying. Wolf reached before her and
swallowed her grandmother then tried to disguise herself as her grandmother and lastly the wolf
was successful in its plan. The wolf also swallowed the red riding hood but fortunately saved by
a hunter, later the hunter and red riding hood made plan together and both gave punishment to
the wolf and end of the story the wolf died.

In the second story, which was about the false grandmother, a little girl went to her
grandmother’s home but on the way, she showed her kindness and greatness towards the river
and doors.the ogress took the look of her grandmother and tried to convince the girl that the
ogress was Her Grandmother but the little girl was clever. She made a plan and successfully
escaped from the ogress. The ogress chased her but river and doors saved the little girl from the
ogress because the girl helped them earlier. While chasing the ogress fell into river and drown.
The ogress also died at the end of the story.
In the third story which is grandaunt tiger, a mother who had two daughters had to go somewhere
for some work. On the way she found a needy person, she Didn't knew that the helpless person
were actually the tiger.she was kind to disguised tiger bt her hand was eaten by the tiger. Later
the tiger went to the women’s daughters to swallow them. The elder daughter planned and
successfully killed the tiger to save herself.

In the three stories all villains were doubted by the main characters but somehow, they managed
to convince the characters by their evil plotting. In the first story the red riding hood girl didn’t
listen to her mother so she fell into trap and danger. In the second story she was saved because
she was kind and helpful towards river along with doors so she could escape from the ogress and
in the last story the mother was kind but tiger cheated her and ultimately tried to harm her
daughters.

The endings of all the stories were almost same or similar, where the wolf the ogress and the
tiger died. All antagonists got their punishment for Being evil and greedy by the protagonists.
The main themes of the three stories were similar but some of the main morals were a little bit
different. But in the end the villains were not successful, they had to be in their worst situation.
Three of the antagonists almost reached their goal but could not accomplish their wish. So its
better to be observant to escape from the difficult and dangerous consequences.
