Red Riding Hood

One day Red was out walking through her hood. She happily strolled through the sunny fields of flowers and green to go check in on her Granny and bring her some fresh things.

When rounding the corner Red runs into that old Mr. Wolf sitting under the tree. “Hello little Red, where are you skipping to so quickly?” said the wolf from his stoop on a stump. Red wasn’t having any of his trickery today, so she skipped right on by him and whistled away. “Well we’ll just have to see where she goes”, said the wolf as he tiptoed behind her.He knows Red is off to her granny’s house again and he wants those juicy grapes atop her head. Mr. Wolf sprints ahead to granny’s house and kicks the old woman out, ties her up in the closet and jumps into her bed. Hiding oh so cleverly under the blanket in grannies bonnet, the wolf waits for Red to come a knocking.

Just then Red calls out, “Granny are you home?” and Mr. Wolf eagerly replies, “Yes dear, I’m in the bed.” He smiles at his cleverness and asks her to step nearer. “Come here, let me see what you’ve brought for granny?” Red tiptoes into the room to see what is to be seen.
“Are you feeling alright granny?” asked Red, “Your eyes are looking a little big.” “Ah, the better for me to see you with my dear.” shrilled the wolf.Red was not fooled by the wolf’s clever disguise. She could spot his beady eyes from across the room. That’s why she came prepared. Hidden behind her red cape is a big black skillet. She’s just waiting to get close enough to smack that fool wolf over the head.

“And granny, what big ears you have?” said Red. “Makes it better for me to hear you with”, lies the wolf. “Come in closer so granny can get a better look at you.”

Red knew she had better move quickly. So she inched in closer, then jumped up onto the foot of the bed and smacked that wolf up side his head!
Then she tied him up good and freed granny from the closet.

And for dinner that night, they ate wolf stew.The End
