Little Red Riding Hood

Retold by Yoav Schwartz





One day Red Hood's mother spake,
"Gosh! I need to bake
For Grandmamma
And for Grandpappa!"
And then she bakes and bakes,
Until she is loaded with cakes.
But you see,
Being happy , filled with glee,
Sometimes puts you on a roll
Or else gets you out of control.
So taking secretly the cakes for a ride,
Our Hoodie sneaks outside!
All of a sudden, as fast as a frog,
Up jumps a big gray dog!
"Wolf!" Cries Hood.
She understood
That it's not right
To fight our sight.
