The Story:Setting: The story takes place in the meadow surrounding Peter’s house.Characters: Peter, bird, duck, wolf, cat, grandfather & hunters

Peter and his friends (bird and duck) go into the meadow. The bird and duck play at the pond. A cat tries to grab the bird but fails. Grandfather warns Peter about the wolf, takes him home, and locks the gate.As soon as Peter and his grandfather leave, the wolf comes out of the forest. The wolf catches the duck and swallows her. The wolf turns his attention to the cat and the bird, who are up in a tree. Peter watches all of this and makes a plan to capture the wolf.Peter and the bird work together and catch the wolf with a rope. When the hunters arrive, Peter asks them to help take the wolf to the zoo. In celebration, everyone parades the wolf towards his new home. The duck is still alive and can be heard quacking inside the wolf.
