Little Red Riding Hood
and the Wolf
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3uVQIhSYfY
As soon as Wolf began to feel
That he would like a decent meal,
He went and knocked on Grandmas 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 is 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, Thats not enough!
I havent yet begun to feel
That I have had a decent meal!
He ran around the kitchen yelping,
Ive got to have a second helping!
Then added with frightful added,
Im therefore going to wait right here
Till little Miss Red Riding Hood
Comes home from walking in the wood

He quickly put on Grandmas clothes,
(of course he hadnt 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 Grandmas chair.

In came the little girl in red.
She stopped. She stared. And then she said,
What big ears you have, Grandma.
Said Little Red Riding Hood.
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, Im going to eat this child.
Compared with her old Grandmamma
Shes going to taste like caviar.

Then Little Red Riding Hood said but Grandma,
what a lovely great big furry coat you have on.
Thats wrong! cried Wolf. Have you forgot
To tell me what BIG TEETH Ive got?
Ah well, no matter what you say,
Im going to eat you anyway

The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers.
She whips a pistol from her knickers.
She aims it at the creatures 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 wolf skin coat.




o We will now read the poem together out loud and find out the meaning of the
difficult words.
Answer the following questions:
o What is the moral of the story?
o What do you think about the ending?
