| Hi, everyone. |
| In this lesson, you'll practice your listening skills with one classic story told in two |
| surprising ways. |
| Listen carefully and tell us which version you prefer. |
| Let's begin. |
| The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing 2.0: The Table |
| The wolf zipped up his sheep costume. |
| He carried a basket of groceries— |
| fresh eggs, herbs, wild onions. |
| He walked the long trail to Grandma’s house. |
| His stomach growled louder than his instincts. |
| Grandma opened the door. |
| She raised an eyebrow. |
| Then she smiled. |
| "Come in," she said. |
| "You look hungry." |
| The house smelled amazing. |
| Something warm. Something with garlic. |
| The wolf sniffed. |
| "Wow… smells so good." |
| Grandma peeked in his basket. |
| "Is that fresh basil?" |
| The wolf paused. |
| Usually he took. |
| Now someone was asking. |
| Just then, Mira stepped out of the guest room. |
| She carried a small bag and a tea thermos. |
| "Thanks for the stay," she said to Grandma. |
| Then, to the wolf: |
| "Hunting every day is harder than building a system that feeds you." |
| The wolf looked at the basil. |
| Then back at the stew. |
| "Trade?" he asked. |
| Grandma nodded. |
| He handed over the basil. |
| She gave him a bowl. |
| It was the best thing he’d ever tasted. |
| Later, Red Riding Hood arrived. |
| They all ate together. |
| The zipper stayed on— |
| but for the first time, |
| it didn’t mean he was hiding. |
| The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing 2.0: The Disguise That Stuck |
| The wolf zipped up his sheep costume. |
| White fleece. Round belly. Black hooves. |
| "Perfect," he said, checking the mirror. |
| "Time for Grandma’s." |
| He walked down the trail, slow and innocent. |
| Birds chirped. Rabbits waved. |
| Everyone believed. |
| Until he entered the deep woods— |
| and heard a growl. |
| "What’s this?" said another wolf, stepping out. |
| Then another. And another. |
| "Looks like dinner." |
| "You lost, little sheep?" |
| "Wait!" the wolf cried. |
| "I’m one of you!" |
| They laughed. |
| He reached for the zipper— |
| but it was stuck. |
| He tugged harder. Nothing. |
| "Please—I'm not a sheep!" |
| But to them, he looked soft. |
| And full of meat. |
| The woods were quiet again. |
| Great listening! |
