Red Riding Hood


This is another version of "Red Riding Hood", and the end of story is so fun!!! So I did the scene of ending.



 Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf

By Roald Dahl



    As soon as Wolf began to feel
    That he would like a decent meal,
    He went and knocked on Grandma's door.
    When Grandma opened it, she saw
    The sharp white teeth, the horrid grin,
    And Wolfie said, ``May I come in?''
    Poor Grandmamma was terrified,
    ``He's going to eat me up!'' she cried.

    And she was absolutely right.
    He ate her up in one big bite.
    But Grandmamma was small and tough,
    And Wolfie wailed, ``That's not enough!
    I haven't yet begun to feel
    That I have had a decent meal!''
    He ran around the kitchen yelping,
    ``I've got to have a second helping!''
    Then added with a frightful leer,
    ``I'm therefore going to wait right here
    Till Little Miss Red Riding Hood
    Comes home from walking in the wood.''
    He quickly put on Grandma's clothes,
    (Of course he hadn't eaten those).
    He dressed himself in coat and hat.
    He put on shoes, and after that
    He even brushed and curled his hair,
    Then sat himself in Grandma's chair.
    In came the little girl in red.
    She stopped. She stared. And then she said,

    ``What great big ears you have, Grandma.''
    ``All the better to hear you with,'' the Wolf replied.
    ``What great big eyes you have, Grandma.''
    said Little Red Riding Hood.
    ``All the better to see you with,'' the Wolf replied.

    He sat there watching her and smiled.
    He thought, I'm going to eat this child.
    Compared with her old Grandmamma
    She's going to taste like caviar.

    Then Little Red Riding Hood said, ``But Grandma,
    what a lovely great big furry coat you have on.''

    ``That's wrong!'' cried Wolf. ``Have you forgot
    To tell me what BIG TEETH I've got?
    Ah well, no matter what you say,
    I'm going to eat you anyway.''
    The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers.
    She whips a pistol from her knickers.
    She aims it at the creature's head
    And bang bang bang, she shoots him dead.

    A few weeks later, in the wood,
    I came across Miss Riding Hood.
    But what a change! No cloak of red,
    No silly hood upon her head.
    She said, ``Hello, and do please note
    My lovely furry wolfskin coat.''

The King's Breakfast



The King’ Breakfast        by A.A. Milne

The King asked the Queen and the Queen asked the Dairymaid:
“Could we have some butter for the Royal slice of bread?”
The Queen asked the Dairymaid; the Dairymaid said: “Certainly!
I’ll go and ask the cow now before she goes to bed.”

The Dairymaid she curtsied, and went and told the Alderney:
“Don’t forget the butter for the Royal slice of bread.”
The Alderney said sleepily:  “You’d better tell His Majesty
That many people nowadays like marmalade instead.”

The Dairymaid said “Fancy!” and went to Her Majesty.
She curtsied to the Queen, and she turned a little red:
“Excuse me, You Majesty, for taking of the liberty,
But marmalade is tasty, if it’s very thickly spread.”

The Queen said “Oh!” and went to His Majesty:
“Talking of the butter for the Royal slice of bread -- 
Many people think that marmalade is nicer;
Would you like to try a little marmalade instead?”

The King said “Bother!” and then he said “Oh, deary me!”
The King sobbed “Oh, deary me!” and went back to bed.
“Nobody,” he whimpered, “could call me a fussy man.
I only want a little bit of butter for my bread.”

The Queen said, “There, there!” and went to the Dairymaid.
The Dairymaid said, “There, there!” and went to the shed.
The cow said, “There, there!  I didn’t really mean it;
Here’s milk for his porringer and butter for his bread.”

The Queen took the butter and brought it to His Majesty.
The King said, “Butter, eh?” and bounced out of bed.
“Nobody,” he said, as he kissed her tenderly,
“Nobody,” he said, as he slid down the bannister,
“Nobody, my darling, could call me a fussy man...
But I do like a little bit of butter for my bread.”
