Meanwhile, the wolf was on (he) ____________16 way to grandma's house. The house was quite small but nice and (it) ______________17 roof was made out of straw.

– “Thank you for saving (we) _______31,“ whispered Little Red Riding Hood.
Then, all of (they) _________32 went to fetch some stones and put (they) _________33 in the wolf's belly. Soon the wolf woke up.

The Cat and the Mouse
Once upon a time there lived a cat and a mouse. One fine day, the cat bit the mouse's
tail off. "Give me back my tail," said the mouse. And the cat said, "Well, I (give) _____________________1 you back your tail if you fetched me some milk. But that's impossible to do for a little mouse like you." The mouse, however, went to the cow. "The cat (give / only) ____________________2 me back my tail if I fetch her some milk." And the cow said, "Well, I would give you some milk if you (get) ________________3 me some hay. But that's impossible to do for a little mouse like you."
The mouse, however, went to the farmer. "The cat will only give me back my tail if the cow (give) ________________________________4 me some milk. And the cow (only / give) _________________________________5 me milk if I get her some hay." And the farmer said, "Well, I would give you some hay if you (bring) _____________6 me some meat. But that's impossible to do for a little mouse like you."
The mouse, however, went to the butcher. "The cat will only give me back my tail if the
cow (give) __________________________7 me some milk. And the cow will only give me milk if she (get) _____________________8 some hay. And the farmer (only / give) ___________________9 me hay if I bring him some meat." And the butcher said, "Well, I would give you some meat if you (make) ___________________10 the baker bake me a bread. But that's impossible to do for a little mouse like you."
The mouse, however, went to the baker. "The cat (give / only) ___________________
_________________11 me back my tail if I fetch her some milk. And the cow (give / not) _______________________________12 me milk if I don't bring her hay. And the farmer will only give me hay if butcher (have) ______________13 some meat for him. And the butcher will not give me meat if you (bake / not) ______________________14 him a bread." And the baker said, "Well, I (give) ________________________15 you some bread if you promise never to steal my corn or meal." The mouse promised not to steal, and so the baker gave the mouse bread, the mouse gave the butcher bread. The butcher gave the mouse meat, the mouse gave the farmer meat. The farmer gave the mouse hay, the mouse gave the cow hay. The cow gave the mouse milk, the mouse gave the cat milk. And the cat gave the mouse her tail back.
But imagine what would have happened otherwise:
If the mouse (promised / not) _______________________16 never to steal corn or meal, the baker (not/give) _____________________________17 the mouse bread. If the baker (not / give) __________________________________18 the mouse bread, the butcher (not /leave) _____________________________19 her any meat for the farmer. If the butcher (not / leave) ____________________________20 her any meat, the farmer (not / be) ________________________________21 willing to give the mouse hay. If the farmer (not / be) ________________________________22 willing to give the mouse hay, the mouse (not / fetch) ________________________________23 milk from the cow. If the mouse (not /fetch) _________________________________24 milk from the cow, she (not / get) ________________________________25 back her tail.

The Three Little Pigs
Once upon a time there were three little pigs who wanted to see the world. When the
they left home, their mum gave them an advice: "Whatever you do, do it the (good) __________________1 you can." So, the three pigs wandered through the world and were the (happy) _____________2 pigs you've ever seen.

The first pig was not only the (small) _______________________4 but also the (lazy)
____________________5 of the pigs. He (quick) ______________________6 built a house out of straw. The second pig made his house out of wood which was a bit (difficult) __________________________________7 than building a straw house. The third pig followed his mum's advice and built a strong house out of bricks – the (difficult) _____________________________8 house of all. The pig worked very (hard) ____________________9 but finally got his house ready before winter.
During the cold winter months, the three little pigs lived (extreme) _____________10
well in their houses. They (regular) _________________________11 visited one another and had the (wonderful) ___________________________________12 time.
But one night, a wolf came to the place where the three little pigs lived. It was the (horrible) _____________________________13 looking wolf in the whole wide world.
Being (terrible) ____________________________14 hungry he went (straight) _________________________15 to the straw house. "Let me in, little pig," the wolf shouted out (angry) ____________________16, "or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down!" The pig didn't let him in and as the house was made out of straw, the wolf blew it down (easy) __________________________17. The little pig ran to his brother's house as (fast) _________________________18 as he could. But the wolf followed him to the wooden house. "Open up, little pigs," he shouted even (angry)__________________________19. Then he huffed and puffed and it didn't take him much (long) _________________20 to blow the house down. So, the two pigs (nervous) ________________________21 ran to their brother who lived in the brick house. The wolf followed them (grim) ________________________22. "Open the door," he shouted (fierce) _____________________23. As the pigs didn't open the wolf huffed and puffed (heavy) _________________________24. But the stone house didn't fall down. From all the huffing and puffing the wolf became even (hungry) ________________25. With his last power he (slow) ______________________26 climbed up the house to get in through the chimney. The pigs saw this and (hasty) ___________________27 lit a fire. When the wolf climbed down the chimney, he fell into the fire which was (awful) _____________________28 hot. He burnt his bum (bad) _______________29 and ran away.
From that day on, the pigs had no more trouble with the wolf and they lived (happy) ______________________30 ever after.
