Hi there, I'm Tim, and today I've got a story that might sound a bit familiar to you.
It's a tale about bravery, adventure, and a big, bad wolf.
We begin in a faraway land, in a big, deep forest,
where the birds are singing, and the sun occasionally peaks through the leaves,
lighting up the forest floor below.
This is where little red riding hood is walking,
wearing a big red cloak. She's carefully carrying a basket of fruit to her grandmas.
She wanted to take a cake, but grandmas been told to cut out sweet things
as they are not healthy. Anyway, to cut a long story short,
little red riding hood is stopped in her tracks by a mean-looking wolf.
Where are you going, little girl? Ask the wolf.
Well, my grandmas not very well, so I'm going to visit her,
because she doesn't have anyone else there, and my mum says,
little red can't talk. The wolf cuts her short and says,
sorry, I've got to go. She and her my best wishes,
bye, and he disappears into the forest. The wolf might be bad, but he's not stupid.
He takes a short cut through the trees to grandmas house, breaks in, and locks grandmas in a cupboard.
Then he puts on grandmas clothes and jumps into her bed, waiting for little red riding hood.
You can imagine how stupid he looks, but that's how the story goes.
A short while later, little red riding hood arrives at the cottage and walks into the bedroom.
She's not the smartest of girls and doesn't realise that that's the cheeky wolf.
She is surprised, however, by her big eyes and says,
grandma, what big eyes you have? The quick thinking wolf replies,
all the better to shoot with my dear. Hold on, grandma, what big ears you have?
By now the wolf is losing his patience a bit and thinks, cut to the chase, but he still mutters,
all the better to hear you with my dear. By now little red is a little suspicious,
but still continues with one final comment. Grandma, what big teeth you have?
Are they false teeth? No, cries the wolf.
They are foreating you with, and with that he pounces on little red riding hood.
As you can imagine, little red riding hood screams her head off.
Luckily, some men who are cutting down trees in the forest hear her and come running to her rescue.
They dash into the cottage, seize the wolf, and threaten to cut him up into tiny little pieces,
but they only have one axe due to cutbacks.
The wolf is terrified and runs off screaming into the forest, never to be seen again.
Then the woodcutters hear her knocking on the cupboard door.
One of them cautiously opens it, and grandma comes rushing out, jumping into the arms of the
handsome strong woodcutter. She gives him a big kiss and says, oh, that was a close one,
but I feel a lot better now. Little red riding hood is very pleased to see her grandma looking so
sprightly and gives her the basket of fruit. In return, she offers little red some advice.
Never talk to strangers. And the wolf? He was never to be seen again,
but keep an eye out for him, just in case.
Well, that's the end of my story. I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you'll join me again soon.
