THE TALE OF HORRIBLY GOOD CARLOTA
“Once upon a time, a long time ago there was a little girl called Carlota. She was always well-
behaved and worked hard at school to please her parents and her teachers. She was never
late, never dirty, never rude, and she never told lies."
The children on the train began to look bored. "Was she pretty?" asked the smaller girl.
"No" said the young man."She wasn't pretty at all. She was just horribly good. Carlota was so
good that she won three gold medals. One said Never Late, one said Always Polite, and the
third said Best Child in the World."
"Yuck!" said the three children.
"Anyway, said the young man, "Carlota was so good that the king invited her to his palace. So
she put on her best clean white dress and she pinned her three medals to the front, and she
walked through the woods to the king's palace. But in the woods there lived a big hungry wolf.
He saw Carlota's lovely white dress through the trees and he heard the medals clinking together
as she walked.
"Aha!' thought the wolf. 'Lunch!' And he started to move quickly but quietly through the trees
toward Carlota."
"Oh, no!" cried the children. "Is he going to eat Carlota?"
"Yes, of course," answered the young man. "Carlota tried to run away, but she couldn’t run fast
because the medals were so heavy. The wolf caught her easily and he ate everything, every bit
of Carlota, except her three medals."
"That's terrible story," said the aunt.
"No, it isn't," shouted the children. "It's the best story ever!"
"Ah," said the young man, "the train's stopping. It's my station."
