One sunny morning, Lucy was getting ready to visit her Grandmother Florence. Putting on her crimson hooded cape, Little Red Riding Hood grabbed her basket and was out the door. Walking along the trail, she sang a relaxing, easygoing tune.
Unbeknownst to her though, Little Red was being watched. Big Bad Wolf Justin was on the prowl. Overhearing how Lucy was going to her grandmother's house, the wolf carefully hatched a plan that would earn him two very delicious meals. Running ahead of Red Riding Hood, Wolf Justin switched the signs and then jumped into a bush, waiting to see if his first part of the plan would work.
Lucy had taken the left path instead of the right, and Justin snickered in delight. After alucy was long gone the left path, Justin had taken the right to Grandma Florence.
Meanwhile, near a tree along the right path of the trail stood Hunter Alfendi, eating his lunch. However, he stopped abruptly as soon as he saw the wolf. "How peculiar...", thought the hunter as he saw the wolf making his way to Grandmother Florence.
Lucy was halfway to her grandmother's house, but she felt there was something strange. She should've been able to see Grandmother Florence's home about now, but she couldn't see it anywhere! "I'm probably going to be walking for long time.", Lucy sighed. She was already so far from the split paths so she just kept on walking.
Justin slowly crept into the old woman's house, and was about to pounce on her, until the grandmother started to stir! He had to act fast, so the Big Bad Wolf rushed his actions and pounced her immediately. "Who? What? Achoo! What's going on?",Grandmother Florence panicked confusedly. Wolf Justin simply replied with a snarl,"You're going to make a nice meal today!" and he gobbles her up, ignoring the helpless screams. Finding a spare nightgown in the closet, the wolf slipped it on and waited in bed for Red Riding Hood to come.
Knocking on the door, Lucy waited for the response. "Come in.", her "grandmother" replied in a scruffy voice. Opening the door and shutting it after herself, Lucy walked up to the bed to see her grandmother better.
Listening through the door, Hunter Alfendi had his rifle ready. He was pretty suspicious about the wolf and was going to shoot if he laid a finger on the poor girl who seems to not know that "woman" isn't really her grandma.
"Grandma! What big eyes you have!",Lucy said looking at the wide eyes of mystery. "The better to see you with my dear!",replied the wolf in his scruffy yet girly voice.
"Grandma! What big ears you have!",Lucy said looking at the...pointy ears? That doesn't seem right. "The better to hear you with my dear!",replied the wolf again.
"Grandma! What a big mouth you have!",Lucy said making yet another insightful comment. "The better to EAT YOU WITH, MY DEAR!",Justin roared, holding Lucy by the shoulders and about to gobble her up.
The door right was kicked down and Hunter Alfendi aimed his rifle at Wolf Justin, shot him in the arm once and his left leg twice. Ripping the savage beast open with his pocket knife, Grandmother Florence was luckily alive due to the Big Bad Wolf's extremely slow digestive system.
"Oh Grandma! You're alive! I'm so glad!",Lucy cried, relieved. "Achoo! I'm fine, Lucy. It was very fortunate that Hunter Alfendi was here to *sniff* save us both.",replied Florence.
As a reward, Lucy gave cookies to Alfendi that were fresh out of the oven and in her wicker basket. They were also a tasty treat to Grandmother Florence. They all sat at a lovely picnic table outside, drinking hot tea to go with the cookies.
