Little Fanny Harris

Little Fanny Harris lives in the Heumarkt. It is in the middle of Vienna. And there, in the Heumarkt, are 3 interesting shops. A butcher's, a baker's and a second-hand sock shop. And last Saturday, Little Fanny Harris bought 3 beautiful socks.

A red sock for school, a blue one for birthday parties, and one very long thick woolly sock for sleeping in when she goes camping. Little Fanny Harris loves camping.

And, what has little Fanny Harris got under her bed? A box full of 200 socks. And, in every sock is a family of moths!

Have you got moths in your socks?
