Some stories are told all over the world. People in each place tell their own version. Here's one from America. Tap Read it to me.
In Norway, people tell a story much like it, about a pancake! Tap Read it to me.
A chart helps you compare. Same: food runs away, animals chase it, and it gets eaten. Different: who runs away, who chases it, and who tricks it.
Cinderella from France and Yeh-Shen from China are versions of the same story, too. A fairy godmother helps Cinderella. A magic fish helps Yeh-Shen.
Your turn! Sort these into the story they come from.
