COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Good submitted by rimpopu on July 28, 2014, 7:18pm It is a folktale from India retold here, and sounds a bit like Little Red Riding Hood. It tells you how a grandmother tricks jungle animals from eating her when she is one her way to and from her grand daughter's house. She tells the animals how thin and skinny she is to discourage them on her way across the jungle. On the way back she hides in a pumpkin and rolls back home. But wait! The wolf gets suspicious and takes off the lid. Now what? Read it to find out. Like many folktales, it is an impossible idea but funny to read.
