Once upon a time there was a little wolf. He was a cute little cub who was dressed in head to toe in red clothes, so the townsfolk called him Little Red.
One day Little Red’s mother asked him to go to his grandmother’s house to fix the barn roof. Little Red was uneasy about this, as he had never met his grandmother before and his some friends had told him she is a mean and cranky woman.
Nervous, he set off to his granny’s house that was on the other side of the forest. Along the way he met an ogre by the name of Shrek. “Hello young wolf. Where are you off to today?” said Shrek. “I am going to my grandma’s house at the end of the forest”, Little Red told the ogre. “The woman that lives there is mean and nasty. Once, my friend Donkey and I went there one day and she set Donkey’s tail on fire!” warned Shrek,” so good luck.” and he headed off.
Little Red continued on his way when he bumped into the Gingerbread Man. ”Hi, young one, where would you be going,” he asked. Little Red explained again where he was going. “My friend, Puss in Boots, and I went into the house and she kicked us out. Have a good day, little one.”
Puzzled and worried, he set off again and heard a strange voice. “Nice day, isn’t it?” said the voice. ”Who is it?” said Little Red, voice quivering. “ I am Hansel, and I have just been chased by a woman with a baseball bat from a house at the end of the forest.”” I am going to my grandmother’s house at the end of the forest, ” said Little Red, “ I hope it wasn’t my grandmother.” ”Anyway, have a nice day, wolf, my friend.”
Scared and worried by al three creatures’ comments, he went on his way.
He got through the forest and reached a run-down, two-storey house. It was the only house as far as the naked eye could see. “This must be it,” he said to himself. He went over, knocked on the door and held his breath…
The door opened and out stepped an old woman with pale skin and dark black hair.” What do you think you’re doing here, young wolf?” said the lady.” I am Little Red and I think you are my grandmother.” So I am,” said the woman, “Come inside.”
Little Red went inside and sat down. “ I’m Snow White,” the woman told Little Red. “So you’re my grandmother,” said Little Red.” Some people said that you are mean and nasty. Is this true?”” I am afraid this is true, Little Red. But would you be nice if people came in and called you an old hag all the time, expecting a beautiful princess. Plus, Prince Charming was two-timing with Cinderella, so he left. It hasn’t been a good couple of years for me, so I’m glad you came along, Little Red,”
After he fixed the roof on the barn, Little Red and Snow White had dinner together. Little Red said good-bye and went home to bed.
Oops, I almost forgot: They lived happily ever after. |
