The Orgins Of Little Red Riding Hood
Once upon a time…
In a small town lived a small girl
Whose grandmother adored her
Who with small old hands made her a small wool cloak
One day the grandmother fell ill
And off went the small girl to bring her small cakes
Singing a tune along the way
The small wool cloak bobbed through the small woods
Not too far in, she spotted some flowers
She strayed a small ways from the path and grabbed a small bundle
Pleased with herself she turned back to find
Quite a big wolf with quite a big tail
Yet he only asked to share some of her cakes
But the small cakes were for a small old grandmother
The wolf just sighed and lumbered away
His big bushy tail leaving with big strides
The girl hasten on her way to
Make small her time to deliver the small cakes
Meanwhile the wolf plotted
Taking big strides to grandmothers house and a big gulp to eat her
Her put on her clothes and laid waiting
For the small girl in the small cloak
When she got there she was welcomed inside
By the small voice of her small grandmother
But then she saw how sick she was!
With big eyes and big ears
Only the better to see and hear her with
A big nose and big teeth
Only the better to smell and eat those cakes
She saw the big tail of the big wolf
He sprang to eat the girl
With big jaws and gave her a big fright
A nearby huntsman heard her scream
And brought a big axe to slay the big wolf
But the small girl had already done just that
She took a small stool and smashed his big head
And the wolf had fallen dead
The big axe was used to save the small lady
All was saved except for one
The small girl’s small cloak
Was now stained red
Big girls don’t wear white anyways
