Let's read the Vehicle Text Extract
There was once a girl who lived at the heart of a beautiful forest. Her name was Greta.
One morning, things weren’t quite as they should be. Greta stepped out into her garden and there, huddled together in the shadows of the trees, were all the animals of the forest.
A soft, silvery-brown wolf stepped forward, with his tail low to the ground.
“Please help us,” he whispered. “The forest is broken and we don’t know where to go. The Giants are ruining our home.”
