Activity 2: Different:

• In Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf uses trickery and disguise (dressing up as Grandma) to fool Red.

• In The Three Little Pigs, the wolf uses physical strength (huffing and puffing) to try to destroy the pigs’ houses.

• In Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf’s main goal is to eat Little Red and her grandmother.

• In The Three Little Pigs, the wolf’s main goal is to get into the pigs’ homes to eat them.

• In Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf is usually defeated by a rescuer (like the woodcutter) and Red is saved.

• In The Three Little Pigs, the wolf is outsmarted by the pigs, especially the one with the strong brick house, and often runs away.

Same:
