Scene of RED
Synopsis
Rebecca and her mother are on their way to grandma’s house when her mother’s mobile phone rings. Mum takes the call then tells Rebecca to go straight to Grandma, and she will come as soon as she can. Rebecca knows her mother will come later. But when she checks to see if she has her phone, it is not there. So, Rebecca goes back along the pavement to look for it.
She finds a dog named Dawg and asks him where her phone is, but he says that he can’t remember and asks for some food to help his memory. After getting Dawg some food, Dawg tells her that her phone was picked up by a stranger in a building, three houses away from the butcher. The stranger is Mr. Wolf. Rebecca needs to go to Mr. Wolf’s house to get her phone back. She goes to Mr. Wolf to see if her phone is there, but she dares not go near Mr. Wolf as he might kidnap her.
After distracting Mr. Wolf with a sausage, she sneaks into his house and retrieves her phone. Now that she has her phone, Rebecca goes straight to Grandma’s house.
