    About this ebook

    Little Red Riding Hood told the witch that she needed to jump over a well three times while saying a particular phrase. The witch was so eager to turn into a deer that she did as Little Red Riding Hood said. As soon as the witch

    ***

    But the story was interrupted by the sudden arrival – appearing in thin air – of a deer into the classroom. The door of the classroom was open, and the deer, frightened, ran out of the room and down the hall, where it could be heard escaping out of the school building.

    The class fell silent.

    "So you see," said Mr. Dinsdale, "the story of the little red riding hood can be interpreted in many ways."

    The class nodded their heads in agreement.

    "But what do we think?" asked Miss Bunch.

    ***

    "Wait, WAIT!" cried the boy at the back of the class again. "She had two sisters, and weren't they dead?"

    "You're confusing this with the other fairy tale. Stay on track."

    "Geez they're all so BORING. It's hard to stay AWAKE."

    "What is your name?"

    The class groaned. They all shouted "Malavak!" just before he said it as well,

    "Malavak."

    His name was Malavak.

      Tales

      Once upon a time, there was a sweet little girl who loved to wear a red riding hood. One day, her mother asked her to take a basket of food to her sick grandmother, who lived on the other side of the forest.

      As Little Red Riding Hood was walking through the woods, a sly wolf approached her and asked where she was going. Innocently, she told him that she was going to her grandmother's house. The wolf asked where her grandmother lived, and Little Red Riding Hood innocently gave him directions.

      The wolf raced ahead of Little Red Riding Hood and arrived at the grandmother's house first. He ate the grandmother and put on her clothes and climbed into her bed, pretending to be her. When Little Red Riding Hood arrived, the wolf tried to trick her into coming closer so he could eat her too. However, Little Red Riding Hood was clever and noticed that her grandmother looked very strange. She asked the wolf why her grandmother had such big ears, eyes, and teeth, and the wolf revealed his true identity and attacked Little Red Riding Hood.

      Fortunately, a hunter was passing by and heard the commotion. He rushed in and saved Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother by killing the wolf.

      The moral of the story is to be careful of strangers
