Reading stories to your kids

Now, i love stories. Especially from my mum. She would always tell me one when i couldn’t sleep at night. The best story that i remember is the Red Riding Hood. Her version was always different. When she was awake, she would tell me the original Red Riding Hood story. When she was tired, i might get surprise with Red Riding Hood bringing necklace to her granny or she wasn’t wearing red hoot instead wearing a Sunday hat. Sometimes, Red Riding Hood brush her teeth and sleep in the woods…

It was fun. I didn’t get to listen to the ending as i was already doze off with my mum.

Here i accidentally found a good story from YouTube. Hope you like it too~
