Story Telling 2 By: Saleha

The Red Hood Monster and The Wolf

Once upon a time.  In a small village at the edge of the forest, I was born.  I lived with my mother.  I still had a grandmother, but she didn’t live with us.  Her house was at the edge of the river, exactly behind the forest.  My mother loved me very much also my grandmother.

When I was five years old, my grandmother gave me a nice red hood.  My favorite color.  I always wore it everywhere and almost never took off, except when I took a bath and slept.  I was famous by peoples the girl with red hood, but in my village many people were afraid of me because I imitated my grandmother’s hard characteristic and always angry.  So that many people called me “Red Hood Monster”.

One day my mother told me that my grandmother was sick.  Actually my grandmother was not serious ill, she would be better soon, because she was handy and cheerful woman.  My mother was busy, so that she asked me to go my grandmother’s house.

With half heart.  I went there with wearing favorite red hood.  I brought a basket full of food such as apples, breads, a bottle of milk, and a new frying pan.  I didn’t know why my mother gave them to me.  I was very lazy to go to the middle of the forest, but it was ok.  I wanted to get her house soon.  In order that I could sleep, because the day was dark.

At the edge of the river, the wolf that was drinking, called me.

“Hi, a sweet red hood.  What are you doing?” asked the wolf

My trip was stoped in front of the wolf

“Huh, you are really bad face.  Why were you not born like a rabbit that’s funny and can jump.  Why were you not born like a tiger that’s gentle, or like me that’s very beautiful girl” said me.

To hear that voice the wolf was angry

“How useless to talk with you.  I must go to my grandmother’s house””

“Hi, wait” said the wolf

“What do you want? Do you want it?” while throwing the apples to his body so that he fell down many times.

“Where are you going, girl?”

“You are deaf, I will to my grandmother’s house behind this forest”

I took a frying pan and hit him. The nice hit, the wolf ran away irregularly, so he hit many trees

“Red hood monster”

“I must revenge her.  I will look for her grandmother’s house”

The last tree that I have just it was beside her grandmother’s house.

“What a pity you are.  I will injure your grandmother”

The wolf as manage ugly plan and enter the house.  In the house the grandmother screamed and ran out the house and soon climb up the high coconut tree handily to save herself from the wolf.

When I got there, I was surprised my grandmother was on the tree and the wolf with wide mouth has been ready to eat her.  Suddenly grandmother fell down on the wolf, the wolf was destroyed in piece.  Not longer after that my grandmother dead together.  I was very sad to see her.
