Find the Main Idea

What is the theme to this passage: Once upon a time, there was a woodcutter, who lived in a little house in a beautiful, green wood. One day, he was merrily chopping some wood, when he saw a little girl skipping through the woods, whistling happily, followed by a big grey wolf. Deciding it was really none of his business, the woodcutter went back to chopping wood, until he heard a scream! 4. He grabbed his ax and ran towards the noise, where he found that he was too late. The big grey wolf had already eaten the little girl and her granny.

What would you say the Main Idea is in this passage? Robert was bored of sitting around waiting for his sister to finish her homework, so he decided to go outside and play in the garden. Wearily, he plopped himself down on the grass and stared grumpily up at the sky, before realizing that there was something strange up there. “What on earth is that?” he yelled, terrified, as the strange object zoomed down until it was only a few feet away, revealing rows and rows of weird green faces staring at him out of grey, circular windows. Suddenly, he heard a call, “Roooo-bert”, and, blinking, turned his head to gabble at his sister in shock, but when he turned back, the spaceship was gone! Had it ever really been there at all?
