Her mother asked her to take her old and lonely grandmother some food one day."Don't stop along the way. Go straight to your Grandma's house and back. Don't talk to any strangers and watch out for the wolf in the woods!Now getalong!"

  11. Flashback - When an author refers back to something that already took place in the story Example: The wolf went up to Little Red Riding Hood and told her that he knew a shortcut.
