>The first class watched the story and thought it was very funny when the cat ran away, but some children thought that it might have been a wolf tricking her.

Some of the comments we got were:She was sad and crying (the old lady) because the wolf drank her waterThe cat ran upstairs and he was going home to his real houseIt was a funny story and it was funny when the wolf drank the waterIs she a muslim? Because she got a (head)dress and glassesI was scared because it was frightening.

>The second class thought that the story was about an old woman who lives on a farm. She is really old. The woman has no milk so she wakes up her cow. She gets milk from her cow and then she goes to the shop to get some food to have with the milk. When she is at the shop the cat drinks the milk. But then the old woman comes back and shouts at and chases the cat. The cat is scared and climbs up a tree. The old woman feels sad and says sorry to the cat.

The story taught us to share and not get angry. When we read the written story we found out more information, that they were very, very small.
