Grandma's House

I was in the bush and I was very very scared. I hear the bushes shake. The wolf jumped out. I ran as fast as I could. I couldn’t find grandma's house. I jogged a bit then I had a little break before I started running again. I was scared then the wolf jumped out of the bush and grabbed me and he almost put me in his mouth. So I kicked him and he said ow. Then he let me go and he ran after me. I ran to my uncle's house which was behind my grandmas house. I hid in the closet. Then I heard stomp stomp stomp. The wolf howled and I screamed. He opened up the closet door. Then I ran out of my uncle’s house and straight into my grandmas arms. Then she hugged me and took me into her house and we hid under the big bed. Then we both heard stomp. It was the wolf. He howled and we got scared. We heard the door open and the wolf looked around. My Dad heard the wolf howl and he looked in my uncle's house and he looked in my grandma's house. I yelled out to my Dad. He got the shovel and whacked the wolf out of the house. We all went back home.
