Little Red Riding Hood

She sewed all day and she sewed all night then gave her daughter a red cape, some bread and a brave warning, "Grandma needs you so remember, don't dilly dally in the forest Ruby. Wolves are sniffers they can spot you from far away. Ruby knew the dangers of the forest so she ran to her bedroom and retrieved a magic sword and 5 gold tines, hidden in her sock drawer. Dilly dally not you are just a tot now trot, trot, trot Out from the bush came a rambling half crazy wolf with fangs of ivory and eyes of scream. Ruby let out a war cry and when the wolf stopped shivering she politely asked, "Would you like to join me wolf. I'm going to see my granny and bring her a loaf of bread." The wolf befuddled looked at the tiny creature, holding 5 gold teeth in her hands and a huge sword. "Zippity doo dah Zippity day," sang the sword as it glimmered in the morning sun. it's a beautiful day best be on your way what have you to say ? I will give you gold fangs Wolfie, if you come away. The sword gave a gurgling laugh then said, " Good luck getting him out of the forest." Ruby lifted her magic sword and suddenly the wolf was the size of a small dog. "Come lets go, granny needs her crust of bread and we got to get there before she's dead." for he's a jolly good fellow for he's a jolly good fellow never mush nor mellow Together they went like two brave soldiers until they got to the bridge. When a big bear growled at them they didn't cow. "No worries!" she said. Raising her sword once again, she turned the bear into a hen. By the time they got to grannies everything was easy-peasy as pie and granny decided that she wasn't going to die. So they sat at a round table and at fish fry singing Kumbaya My Lord, loud, clear and high. The End.
