Red Riding Hood

"Don't worry, mommy," said Little Red Riding Hood, "I'll be careful."

"Remember, go straight to Grandma's house," her mother cautioned. "Don't dawdle along the way and please don't talk to strangers! The woods are dangerous."

What are you doing out here, little girl?" the wolf asked in a voice as friendly as he could muster.

I'm on my way to see my Grandma who lives through the forest, near the brook," Little Red Riding Hood replied.

A few minutes later, Red Riding Hood knocked on the door. The wolf jumped into bed and pulled the covers over his nose. "Who is it?" he called in a cackly voice.

"It's me, Little Red Riding Hood.""Grandmother! Your voice sounds so odd. Is something the matter?" "But Grandmother! What big ears you have,"But Grandmother! What big teeth you have,"

Oh how lovely! Do come in, my dear," croaked the wolf."Oh, I just have touch of a cold," The better to hear you with, my dear,"The better to see you with, my dear,"The better to eat you with, my dear,"

The woodsman knocked out the wolf and carried him deep into the forest where he wouldn't bother people any longer.

Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandmother had a nice lunch and a long chat.
