A Woman and the Wolves
A long time ago, very few people lived in the New Territories. There were only a few villages. If the people wanted to go from one village to
another, they often had to pass through wild and unsafe forest.
One day, a farmer’s young wife went to the next village to visit her own mother and brother. She brought along her baby son. When it was
time for her to leave, her brother said “it is getting dark. Let my son, Ah Tim go with you though the forest.”
So Ah Tim led the way and the young woman followed behind, carrying her baby. When they were in the forest, suddenly they saw a group
of wolves. They began to run to avoid the danger, but Ah Tim kicked against a stone and fell down. At once the wolves caught him. The young
woman cried to the wolves, “ please eat my own son instead.” Then, she put her baby son on the ground in front of the wolves and took her
nephew away.
Everyone understood that this was because the woman was very good and kind. She had offered her own son’s life to save her nephew.
They ran back to the house and called for help. All men in the village fetched thick sticks and went back with her into the forest. When they
got there, they saw something very strange. Instead of eating the woman’s baby the wolves were playing with him.

The Good Stepmother
The old witch locked Hansel in a cage and set Gretel to clean the house. She planned to eat them both. Each night the children cried and
begged the witch to let them go. Meanwhile, at home, their stepmother was beginning to wish she had never tried to get rid of the children. ”I must
find them,” she said and set off into the forest.

The following text is for no 29 – 33

A farmer came across a bird with a broken wing. He picked it up, took it home and looked after it lovingly, even though his wife complained
bitterly about his wasting too much time on the creature.
After some time, the wing mended, and, because the bird did not want the farmer to have kept on arguing with his wife all the time, it decided
to go back to its nest.
When the farmer discovered that the bird was gone, he was so upset that he went out to look for it. Eventually, he found it again, and was
greeted happily by the whole family of the bird. As a sign of their thanks for his care and attention, the birds gave him a little box, and told him not
to open it until he got home.
To his surprise, the farmer found the box full of precious stones. When his wife saw them, she decided that she too deserved a reward, and
she went to see the birds. The birds gave her a little casket; but this one was full of devils. The devils jumped on her as soon as she opened the
