Run, Pumkin, Run

On the way to her granddaughter’s wedding, a little old lady comes across a wolf, a bear and a lion that want to eat her up. She convinces the animals to wait until she returns from the wedding reception and, after the celebrations, the granddaughter and the little old lady come up with a very original plan to outwit the three wild beasts. With an agile rhythm - almost a tongue twister -, present in the Portuguese versions that are still circulating today, this story offers many expressive narrative possibilities and theatrical presentation.
