4 Past Perfect Practice.

Rules: When telling stories, in addition to using the Past Simple to explain the main
events of a story and the Past Continuous to express longer actions interrupted by
a shorter action. We also use the Past Perfect.
The Past Perfect is formed with had + past participle, i.e. When I arrived at the
party, all of my friends had gone home.
We use it to talk about an event that happened before another event in the past.

"It's Little Red Riding Hood. I'm bringing you some cake and butter. Please open the
door for me", said the wolf.
"Just press the latch," grandmother replied. "I'm too weak to get out of bed."
The wolf pressed the latch and the door opened. He walked inside and immediately
ate her up, for it'd been more than three days since he had eaten. He then shut the
door and put on grandmother's clothes, pulling her cap down over his face. After that
he got into her bed, closed the curtains and waited for Little Red Riding Hood to
arrive.
While the wolf was eating grandmother, Little Red Riding Hood was running after
flowers. When she had gathered so many that she wasn't able to carry any more,
she continued on her journey to grandmother's house.
When she arrived, she knocked on the door. In his best grandmother voice, the wolf
called weakly, "Who's there?"
"It is your grandchild Little Red Riding Hood. I have brought you some cake and
butter from mother," she said.
To this the wolf had weakly responded, "Just press the latch; I am too weak to get out
of bed." As she was walking through the parlor, Little Red Riding Hood felt afraid and
thought to
herself, "Oh my gosh! How strange I feel today, however at other times I am so happy
to be
with my grandmother. Then she had gone over to her grandmother's bed and opened
the curtains. Grandmother was lying there with her cap covering her face and
looking
very strange.
"Oh, grandmother, what big ears you have!" she said.
"All the better to hear you with," replied the wolf.
"Oh, grandmother, what big eyes you have!" she said next.

 Read / listen to the last portion of the story to see

your group's prediction was correct.

Finally, Little Red Riding Hood had said to her grand-

mother, "Oh, grandmother, what a large mouth youhave!"
"All the better to eat you with!" Next he jumped out of
the bed, on top of Little
Red Riding Hood and ate her up. ɑs soon as he had
finished this tasty
bite, he climbed back into bed, fell asleep and in minutes was snoring very
loudly.
A hunter was passing by. He thought it was strange that an old woman
was snoring so loudly, so he took a look. He stepped inside the
grandmother's house and in the bed there laid the wolf that he had been
hunting for such
a long time. "He has eaten the grandmother, but maybe she can still be
saved. I won't shoot him," thought the hunter. Instead, he took a knife
and cut the wolf's belly open.
He had cut only a few slices when he saw the red hood shining through. He
cut a little more, and the girl jumped out and cried, "Oh, I was so
frightened! It was so dark inside the wolf's body!"
And then the grandmother came out alive also. Then Little Red Riding
Hood grabbed some large heavy stones. They filled the wolf’s body with
them. When he woke up and tried to run away, the stones were so heavy
that he fell down and died.
After that the three of them were happy. The hunter took the wolf's pelt.
The grandmother ate the cake that Little Red Riding Hood had brought,
with butter spread on the top. And Little Red Riding Hood thought to
herself, "As long as I live, I will never leave the path and run off into
the forest by myself if my mother tells me not to."

 Why was the elephant worried?

How the Hare Saved the Elephant’s Skin

One day, clever Brother Hare was strolling in the big jungle
where he met the Elephant. “Brother Elephant”, he asked,
“you look worried. Is it true?”

“Woe is me, brown Brother Hare,” the Elephant answered, “I’m

worried, all right. Yesterday I ran into the Tiger and he said he wants to eat me.
That’s why I’m worried. I’m so scared I don’t know what to do.”

“If that’s all that’s wrong, don’t be upset. I’ll help you out!” said the Hare. The Elephant
was extremely relieved to hear this and said, “I’ll do whatever you tell me.”

“Well then,” said the Hare, “meet me here tomorrow. Don’t worry about a thing.”
After that, he went on his way.”

The next morning the Elephant returned to meet the Hare. The jungle was hot,
quiet and frishtening. The Hare climbed onto the Elephant’s back holding a long
piece of bamboo in one hand. “Now when I hit you on your left side”, he told the
Elephant, “you throw your head to the left. When I hit you on the right, turn your
head to the right. Ok?” The Elephant agreed.

Before long the Hare saw the stronge Tiger hiding in a bush. Acting like he hadn’t
seen him, he began hitting the Elephant, irst on his left side, then on his right.
The Elephant kept turning his head from side to side, just as the Hare had told him
to do. Seeing this, the Tiger didn’t know what to make of it. He lay still and watched.

“What type of creature is this?” he wondered. “So tiny yet able to capture such a huge
elephant!”

He became afraid. The longer he thought about it the more his fears grew. Soon,
he slipped off into the dark jungle.

So thanks to the Hare’s wisdom the Elephant got out of his problem.
