Nobody was there. Little Red Riding Hood saw four bowls on the table. She was happy. She ate the smallest porridge. Little Red Riding Hood was hungry now. She sat on the big chair and it broke. She was very sad and she went upstairs. She found four sofas. She slept on the big one. Soon, the four pandas came home.

'Someone's been eating our fruit!' -said the four pandas.
'Someone's been sitting on our tables!' -said the four pandas.
'Someone is eating in my sofa!' -said Baby Bear.

Little Red Riding Hood woke up and saw the four pandas. She jumped to the street and she never came back again.
