Little Red Riding Hood Article Assignment

           Tuesday morning Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother were rescued by a huntsman after being eaten whole by the big bad wolf. The pair is doing well and the wolf has been slain.

            Little Red Riding Hood, also known as Elisabeth, left to go visit her grandma, Mary Adams, early yesterday morning. Red’s mother, Sue Johnson, teared up as she remembered her last words to Red before she left. “Promise me you won’t daydream and stray off the path,” Johnson recalled saying.

            That’s exactly what five-year-old Red did though. When she was approximately halfway through her mile and a half walk through the forest, she encountered the wolf. After giving him the details of where she was headed, Red strayed from the path to go pick flowers for her ailing grandma. The wolf quickly headed for the cottage and consumed the grandmother within minutes.

            According to local police, the wolf then put on Adams’ clothes and pretended to be the elderly woman in order to fool young Red. When the young girl arrived, she remembered having an uneasy feeling, as if something was wrong with the situation. After questioning who she believed to be her grandma, the starving wolf proceeded to eat young Red as well.

            The police say that the wolf quickly fell into a deep slumber and it was then that the huntsman, John Hunts, happened to be walking by. He described the loud snoring he heard coming from the bedroom window and how he knew it couldn’t have been coming from a woman as small and frail as old Mrs. Adams.

            Hunts remembered exactly what it was that he said when he walked in on the old the wolf who had been his enemy for so long. “Here you are, you old sinner!” he yelled at him as he proceeded forward to take the creature’s life. As the wolf slept, Hunts pulled out a knife and began to slice open the animal’s stomach.

            Red jumped out quickly and Adams slowly struggled out behind her. Hunts, now a local hero, skinned the dead wolf and rejoiced in his triumph. Red, who is very happy to be alive, only had one thing to say of the day’s events. “I will never wander off the forest path again.”
