The shadows of the evening stretch forth across the pastel panorama to make the wolf eerily visible despite the darkness. Stalking across the shadows, he finds a home with three children who are all alone. The children are excited to see their Po Po (or grandmother), and invite him inside. Decieved by the cunning wolf, he promptly blows out the only light in the house. This isn't your typical red riding hood story. There's no adult around to save these three children. No, they must learn to think quick and fend for themselves to protect their lives and their home.
