fractured tale 13

Once upon a time, little red riding hood was living in a so called cute little forest, but which was to her the most boring place ever...Every week-end she had to go to her grand-mother’s, on foot, although it's 4 hours away, and to make it harder she had to carry a heavy basket!!

Her grand-mother was the wicked woman in the world. Every time she visited her the grand-mother criticised her and never showed any gratitude. The grand-mother became greedy and embittered because of her huge heritage she wanted to keep to her grave.So little red riding hood decided to help her a little ...

One week-end, when she arrived to her grand-mother’s home, she was the nicest little girl possible. As the day passed the grand-mother seemed to be a better grand-mother, so once in front her teeth glass, in which she had planned to put a poison, she had some scruple until her grand -mother said, "This red hood makes you look fat !" In a short move the poison was spooned in the glass. Of course the grand-mother put her teeth back to eat her grand-daughter’s delicious cake, and red riding hood left the house her work done. Once back little red riding hood told her mother how the big bad wolf had eaten grand-mother and how she was able to get out of his claws.The morale? The truth doesn’t always come out of the child's mouth. (French expression!)
