Little Rad Riding Hood
I am timid and afraid to speak in front of many people. The reason why I would be have to date back to many years ago. This kind of childhood memories I really do not want to recall. However, by means of the form of animation, it will be a liberation for me. This story happened when I was 4 years old. At that time I was in kindergarten. Fortuitously, a coincidence changed my active character… Early childhood education is very important, and very slight things may change one’s life.
