Reviews
Lucie Goose lived alone and had never seen other animals, until one day a wolf came and roared. She wasn’t scared, and he explained that first he had to roar, then she had to run away, and he would chase her. But she said she wouldn’t do that and instead invited him for a cup of tea and a piece of cake, which he didn’t want. The same thing happened later with a bear and then with a lion. But then all three were afraid of a dragon and ran as fast as they could to Lucie Goose for her cup of tea and cake. This story teaches you not to be afraid of those who roar and to always be kind to everyone.
