The wolf let out a satisfied burp, and then poked through Granny's wardrobe to find a nightgown that he liked. He added a frilly sleeping cap, and for good measure, dabbed some of Granny's perfume behind his pointy ears.

A few minutes later, Red Riding Hood knocked on the door. The wolf jumped into bed and pulled the covers over his nose. "Who is it?" he called in a cackly voice.

"It's me, Little Red Riding Hood."

"Oh how lovely! Do come in, my dear," croaked the wolf.

When Little Red Riding Hood entered the little cottage, she could scarcely recognize her Grandmother.

"Grandmother! Your voice sounds so odd. Is something the matter?" she asked.

"Oh, I just have touch of a cold," squeaked the wolf adding a cough at the end to prove the point.

"But Grandmother! What big ears you have," said Little Red Riding Hood as she edged closer to the bed.

"The better to hear you with, my dear," replied the wolf.

"But Grandmother! What big eyes you have," said Little Red Riding Hood.

"The better to see you with, my dear," replied the wolf.

"But Grandmother! What big teeth you have," said Little Red Riding Hood her voice quivering slightly.

"The better to eat you with, my dear," roared the wolf and he leapt out of the bed and began to chase the little girl.

Almost too late, Little Red Riding Hood realized that the person in the bed was not her Grandmother, but a hungry wolf.

She ran across the room and through the door, shouting, "Help! Wolf!" as loudly as she could.

A woodsman who was chopping logs nearby heard her cry and ran towards the cottage as fast as he could.

He grabbed the wolf and made him spit out the poor Grandmother who was a bit frazzled by the whole experience, but still in one piece."Oh Grandma, I was so scared!" sobbed Little Red Riding Hood, "I'll never speak to strangers or dawdle in the forest again."

"There, there, child. You've learned an important lesson. Thank goodness you shouted loud enough for this kind woodsman to hear you!"

The woodsman knocked out the wolf and carried him deep into the forest where he wouldn't bother people any longer.

Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandmother had a nice lunch and a long chat.

THE GINGERBREAD MAN

One day an old woman prepared a gingerbread man for her

husband. Suddenly, she heard a voice from the oven. "Let me out! Let me

out!" it said. She opened the door and the gingerbread man ran out.

The old couple ran after him, shouting "Stop! We want to eat you!"

But the gingerbread man ran away singing "Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm

the gingerbread man!"

A horse saw him and said "Stop! I want to eat you!" But the gingerbread man ran away

even faster singing "Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man!"

A cow saw him and said "Stop! I want to eat you!"But the gingerbread man ran away

even faster singing "Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man!"

A fox saw him and said "Stop! I want to talk to you!" The gingerbread man ran on

singing "Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man!" But the fox

chased him all the way to a river.

The gingerbread man didn't know how to swim."I can help you," said the cunning fox. "If

you jump on my tail, I'll carry you across." The gingerbread man jumped on the fox's tail and

the fox started to swim across the river. But the fox said "jump on my nose. You are too heavy

for my tail."

When they reached the river bank the fox tossed the gingerbread man high up into the air.

Down he fell and the fox gobbled him all up! And that was the end of the gingerbread man.
