Peter and Pinky

Peter and Pinky lived with their mother and stepfather in a little hut near a forest. Their stepfather was a hunter , and they were very poor. They were all very thin.

One day Peter and Pinky’s stepfather said, “We have no food left. There is no more food for us to eat.”

"Then Peter and Pinky cannot live here,” said their stepfather. “We must leave them in the middle of the forest,”

"No,” said their mother. But their stepfather said, “We must.”Peter and Pinky were listening on their bed. “I have a plan,” said Peter, and he went out to get some little rocks.

The next week they all went into the forest. Peter dropped little rocks on the path. “Wait here,” said their mother. “We are going to hunt some animals.”

Peter and Pinky waited the whole afternoon. Then they followed the rocks back home.

Their mother was glad to see Peter and Pinky, but their stepfather was very unhappy. “There is not enough food for us all,” he said. “We must take Peter and Pinky deeper into the forest.”

"No!” said their mother. “We can’t do that.” “We must,” said their stepfather. “This time they must not find their way home.”

Peter’s stepfather tied Peter and Pinky on the poles, so they couldn’t get out. Peter couldn’t collect rocks. The next day they all went deep into the forest. This time Peter dropped water on the path. “Wait here,” said their mother. “We are going to hunt for animals.”

Peter and Pinky waited all day long. Then they looked for the water on the path. But the water had dried out.

Peter and Pinky went deeper into the forest. They walked for a long time. In the middle of the forest, they found a house made of chocolates and candies. In the house lived a wizard. The wizard planned to kill Peter and Pinky to worship his god.

The wizard locked Pinky in a hole and gave her lots of water."Soon he will be killed,” said the wizard. “Then I will burn her in my fire.”

"Where is the fire?” said Peter.“Here,” said the wizard. And he opened the door of the fireplace.

"I can’t see the fire,” said Peter.The wizard opened the door of the fireplace a little wider. “I still can’t see it,” said Peter.

The wizard opened the door as wide as he could. Peter pushed him into the fireplace and locked the door.

Peter let Pinky out of the hole.“Look at all these gold coins,” said Peter. “We can take them home and buy food with it.”

After a long walk Peter and Pinky found their way home.

Their mother was glad to see them. “Your stepfather has gone,” she said.

So Peter and Pinky and their mother all lived happily ever after in their little hut near the forest.
