Intro “It is time to go find…” said Little Red. And so off she went.
Lost A lost boot she thought. This could be my most favourite find yet.
Boot And the boot spoke to him. Not in words you understand. Nor was it written. But it invited him in. And Little Red was not afraid. She loved adventure.
Sea He began to swim. Into the depths. And then he saw her. And he knew what he needed to do.
Sleep The rescue was exhausting. On dry land. she fell into a fitful sleep. Little Red knew they weren’t safe. They’d come for her. She didn’t have much time.
Underground The ground started to shake and rumble. The terrible creatures. Sharp teeth and claws. And their terrible stench. Their blind rage. He would not let her go. He needed to get her up into the trees.
Illusion They caught up with their prey. Of course, they couldn’t see. And this made them furious! They gnashed their teeth. They spat with rage. And then they left in a frenzy.
Found Little Red left the boot and the shoe. Swaying happily in the breeze. A new pair in a new home, she thought. She scampered off... To find another adventure.
