Once upon a time, there was a bride who wanted to hide from her wedding. She slid down the side of a hill and decided to ride a horse to escape. But every time she tried to ride the horse, it would slide. The bride couldn't decide what to do, so she asked for help from a wise old owl. The owl suggested she try riding the horse backwards, and to the bride's surprise, she was able to ride off into the sunset!

Reflections

1. Why did the bride want to hide from her wedding?
2. Why couldn't the bride ride the horse at first?
3. How did the bride eventually solve the problem of riding the horse?
4. What did the wise old owl suggest the bride do?
5. Can you think of another solution that the bride could have tried besides riding the horse backwards?
