Three girls: Elsie, about 10, blond hair in a thick braid, simple linen dress, standing center in front of an oak door with her hand on the handle and a determined look; Mara, about 10, brown bob, dark green coat, left of Elsie, holding a small notebook and watching the alley cautiously; June, about 9, black ponytail with a red ribbon, blue jacket, right of Elsie, holding a small mint tin that glints under the lamp and poised to tap it like a bell. Setting: in front of an old wooden cottage with an oak door, iron knocker and small leaded windows, a warm lantern above the door casting soft light onto a wet cobbled alley framed by dark bushes and trees; watercolor palette of deep blues, ochres and greens with grainy texture and soft edges. Main situation: the three girls form a small luminous barrier before the door with candles on the ground, while a wolf silhouette hides behind a bush to the right—yellow eyes gleaming, muzzle partly visible, sly but at a distance—creating a tense yet reassuring contrast between the girls' warm light and the wolf's cold shadow.

Four children in a warm, paneled red wooden cottage by a dark pine forest: Clara, 12, long glossy black hair and hazel eyes, wearing a dark green coat, stands left by the fogged window with one hand on the closed cream curtain; Theo, 14, tall and calm with short chestnut hair and a brown wool jacket, stands slightly right behind Clara with a protective hand on a chair back; Jonas, 10, small and lively with tousled blond hair and a red scarf, sits center on the thick brick-colored rug holding a large wooden stick, worried but curious; Elsie, 9, red hair in a braid in a painted wooden wheelchair with a small bell hanging from it, sits front right near the hearth with a reassuring smile. Thick curtains are drawn, a fire casts a golden-orange glow against the cold, wet darkness outside where, through branches, the yellow eyes of a thin dark wolf watch them from the shadowed pines, creating a tense yet secure atmosphere.

There are three characters: Tom, a serious-looking 9-year-old boy with short brown hair, a light green jacket and brown pants, standing left and holding a folded paper (the map) while looking determinedly toward the wall door; Ben, a nervous-smiling 9-year-old boy with messy blond hair and a blue striped sweater, crouched center by the low wooden door fastening its rusted latch with both hands; and the Big Bad Wolf, large with dark mottled gray fur, piercing yellow eyes and visible fangs, half-hidden behind ferns at right in a creeping, threatening posture fixed on the door and the boys. Setting: a forest path lined with trees with textured brown trunks and green moss, a lichen-covered stone wall with a small low wooden door (peeling paint, rusty latch), dead leaves and muddy puddles on the ground, soft twilight beams filtering through. Main situation: the boys hurriedly close the small wall door to block the wolf’s shortcut; a tense but not frightening scene with strong color contrasts (warm greens and browns for the forest, dark gray for the wolf), clear expressions of fear mixed with courage, centered composition on the locked door, simple silhouettes, clean outlines, flat textures and color blocks, and a dramatic yet child-friendly atmosphere.
