Grandmother wanted firewood. But one by one, the family members who went to the woods to gather sticks came back with unlikely tales. A wolf tried to eat the boy’s shirt. Deer nibbled his sister’s dress. Swans attacked their mother. And the baby? Even the baby had an adventure. in the end, no wood was gathered, but the family had a fine collection of far-fetched stories. And thanks to Grandma’s ingenuity, these stories kept them warm and cozy during the long, hard winter.
