Little Pink Riding Hood

Little Pink Riding Hood

Little Pink Riding Hood loved the color pink. That is why she really loved her special pink coat.

One day she put on her coat. She gathered cookies in a basket for her grandmother. Her grandmother was sick and Little Pink Riding Hood was going to visit her. Little Pink Riding Hood loved her grandmother. She especially loved how her grandmother always sent her cards, even when it wasn’t a special day. “You make me feel special, grandma!” she said every time she saw her. “You are special!” her grandmother would say.

Little Pink Riding Hood walked through the woods because it was a short cut to her grandmother's house. She ate some of her grandmother’s cookies, which she had baked and covered with pink icing. While she was eating a cookie, she met a wolf. The wolf asked her where she was going. She said, “I am taking these special cookies to my grandma. They are special because they are pink, which is my favor color! Would you like a cookie?"

He thanked her but told her he did not like pink cookies. The wolf said she was a very sweet child. She smiled. He asked where her grandmother lived. She told him that she did not know the directions, but that the woods' area was small, and that it was a place she could always find by looking for pink because it’s a pink house. “My grandma painted it pink to make me happy.”

“I wish someone cared that much about me,” said the wolf as he strolled off.

Then she met a bluebird. The bird asked her, “Have you seen the big, bad wolf?”

“Well, I saw a wolf,” she answered. Then she explained.

The bird grabbed a cookie and flew up into a tree. “I thought wolves were dangerous and birds were helpful,” Little Pink Riding Hood said. “What a surprise!"

Little Pink Riding Hood continued on her way to her grandmother's pink house. The clouds above the woods started turning black. Right when she saw the pink house, she started to feel precipitation. Little Pink Riding Hood screamed, "Oh, no! It's starting to rain! I better hurry into Grandma's!"
