Little Pink Riding Hood

Little Pink Riding Hood loved to wear pink clothes. That is why she really liked her special coat. 

One day she put on her coat. She picked up a basket of food for her grandmother.Her grandmother was sick. Little Pink Riding Hood loved her grandmother. She especially liked 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!” grandma would say

Little Pink Riding Hood walked through the woods. 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 food to my grandmother. Would you like a cookie?

He thanked her but told her he did not like 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 have good map skills but that it was a place she could always find by looking for pink. 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. 

Then she met a bluebird. The bird asked her, “Have you seen a 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.
