“Grandmother!!” Red Cap screamed, “Oh, grandma what are you doing here?” “Looking for you dear.” “Sorry to worry you grandma! I got a little bit lost.” Said Red, as she run towards her grandma. Grandma caught a glimpse of a shadow moving. “Who is there? Show yourself!” grandma yelled. “I surrender; you have caught me.” said the wolf while backing up slowly. “You! You made me leave the path!” gasped Red. Red’s mom could hear the screams, but didn’t know which directions they were coming from. As she ran towards the screams she ran into a huntsman. She decided to ask him for help, “Excuse me sir, can you hear the directions where the screams are coming from?” “Yes, they seem to be coming from this direction.” Answered the huntsman, “I actually saw a wolf run in a hurry a couple minutes ago, wonder if that has to do with anything? “Oh! That wicked wolf.” Whispered Red’s mom. “I can you if you are in trouble,” said the huntsman “after all I have my bow with me.” “Oh, thank you, I think my daughter is in trouble.” They started to follow the screams, once they reached their destination, the huntsman caught a glimpse of the wolf getting ready to attack and decided to shoot an arrow. The wolf whimpered as the arrow pierced him, quickly he started to bleed out. “ Mother!! Oh thank you.” Yelled Red, as she ran to embrace her mother. “Don’t mid me, I will just be taking this wolf with me,” said the huntsman
The wolf easily distracts her, showing, once again, her naivety and innocence. After the wolf shows up and eats the grandmother, Little Red arrives. Her mother instructed her not to look in all the corners when she arrived, and so, even though she was scared, she did what she was told, and the wolf swallowed Little Red and falls asleep. A wandering woodsman hears the snoring and enters the house to see what is wrong. He discovers the wolf and, instead of shooting it, cuts it open and gets Little Red and her grandmother unharmed out of the wolf. He sends Little Red off to get big stones, which he uses to fill the wolf?s belly. The wolf wakes up and attempts to run away, but the stones are too heavy, and he dies. After this experience, Little Red learned that she needed to heed her mother?s warnings, which shows that she has grown through her experiences with the wolf, and knows to listen to her mother. The story continues with another wolf coming across Little Red on her way to her grandmother?s house, but, having learned from the first wolf, Little Red is able to outsmart and kill him.

Todrick got up quickly, “Sir step away we have animal control here ready to put this beast down.” Todrick quickly stepped in front of the wolf, unaware of how close he was until he felt the hot breath down his back. “Wait, don’t shoot!” Todrick called out holding up both of his hands. “I know this is all out of the ordinary
