9
One day, Peter went into the woods. He
was collecting sticks. He thought about his life.
He began to cry.
A little old woman heard him. She asked
Peter why he was crying.
Peter told her about his brothers and his
hard life.
“The world is a big place. Why don’t you
find another place to live?”
she asked.
Peter thought,
“That is a good idea!”
One morning, Peter left his home to start a
better life. But he loved his childhood home. He
sat down on a hill. He looked at his home one
last time.
The old woman walked up behind him.
She asked,
“What are you going to do now, my
boy?”
Peter did not know.
