Larry's Fairy Tales - Part 7

Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time, there was a young man named Red who was crazy about motorcycles.

Red found a group of other guys who loved motorcycles and joined their gang.  His mother moaned, "You've joined a gang of hoodlums.  To think that my little Red would become a hood!  A riding hood!"

     The gang hung out at a place called Grandma's.  One day, the gang leader, a guy named Wolf, told Red, "I'll race you to Grandma's.  When you get there, ask for Grandma."
     They took off on their motorcycles, but Wolf knew a shortcut, and he got there first.

     When Red arrived, he asked for Grandma and was was told to go into a back room.  Inside, there was a bedroom and a bathroom, with Wolf in the shower.
     "Where's Grandma?" asked Red.
     "I'm Grandma," said Wolf.  "I own the place.  I call it Grandma's because who wouldn't want to eat at Grandma's?"

     "Grandma, what big hairy legs you have!" said Red.
     "The better to run after you with," said Wolf.
     "Grandma, what big hairy arms you have!"
     "The better to grab you with," said Wolf, grabbing Red.  "Give me a kiss."

     "Grandma, what a big tongue you have!"
     "The better to eat you with," said Wolf.

     Then Wolf ate Little Red Riding Hood.

     And, of course, he didn't stop there.  And they lived happily ever after.
