Stories by level
Classic stories, retold for your level
Every story in Krapka is retold three times — for A1–A2, B1–B2 and C1 — and every version keeps the whole plot. Each sentence comes with a translation into your language. Choose the language you’re learning, then your level.

How the levels work
- A1–A2
- Short sentences and everyday words. Nothing is cut: the whole plot, told simply.
- B1–B2
- Longer sentences and a richer vocabulary, closer to the rhythm of the original.
- C1
- Close to the original in style and vocabulary — for readers ready for literary prose.
Questions
How were these retellings made?
Each retelling starts as an AI draft written to its level. A second pass critiques and revises it: does it fit the level, is the whole plot still there? A mechanical check makes sure no long passages are copied from the original. English and Ukrainian retellings are also read by a person before they go live.
Are these official CEFR levels?
No. A1–A2, B1–B2 and C1 are the targets each retelling is written to, on the CEFR scale (the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) you know from courses and exams. No one certifies the level of a story, ours included, so treat it as a guide: if a page feels too easy or too hard, move one level over.
Can I switch levels in the middle of a story?
Yes. The three levels are separate retellings of the same story, and each keeps its own progress — switch to an easier or a harder one whenever you like, and come back to where you left off.
Is it free?
The first sentences of every retelling are free to type, no account needed, and the free daily practice draws sentences from the whole library. Whole stories, at all three levels, come with Krapka Pro — $5 a month or $45 a year.
